Had severe Gurd and was at the age were i needed a Colonoscopy and he performed both an Endoscopy for my GI problems. Everything went great, Dr. Ambasht is a very nice man. As a fellow USAF Veteran I feel safe with him. I am scheduling a follow-up at this time when I noticed his numbers did not accurately reflect my experience with hm.

The front desk staff, and medical assistants, have been very friendly and helpful. I had to wait a few minutes to see the doctor, but that is to be expected. At first I had a hard time understanding Dr. Ambasht (just because of his accent). I appreciated his advice very much, and even his criticism of my primary care provider in (not) getting him the records he needed. His next opening was several weeks out, but when he saw the frustration on my face, he said "I can see you are struggling, let's see if we can get you in sooner." I thought the doctor, and his staff, were awesome.

The receptionist r welcome their patients well. But the dr. Ambasht is a clever doctor. He is not listening to me what is my health concern is. He kept talking to make me stop. He is not a professional dr he doesn't treat his patient good. He was rush n had no didn't let his patient ask any ? They have. I had never seen a horrible dr like this.

I went to see Dr. Ambasht for a GI issue as recommended by my primary care. The office staff were very pleasant and Dr. Ambasht was as well. He took the time to listen to what I had to say and took that into consideration. I had to have some procedures done and his nurse called with the results as soon as they received them. I will definitely be going back for any further GI care that I need!

Dr. Ambasht and his staff was very arogant and rude. I would not reccomend him to anybody.
