Mary A. Ambach's Online Review Report Card

I have had patellar tendon pain for 2 years. I went through professional athlete physical therapy and conditioning and never got pain free. 6 weeks after PRP 2 of the three small tears were pain free and healing. And now at 3 months I can move pain free. I would recommend PRP with SD orthobiologics.

The staff and Dr. Ambach are extremely friendly and accommodating. I found them somewhat unorganized, the staff appeared to be set on autopilot and were not reviewing a patient's chart before entering the exam room. I had to correct them multiple times as to my needing sedation prior and as to what body part is to be treated . I also had to ask several times to review my radiographs and MRI. I am ...

My name is Tim Shaw and this is my review of the San Diego Orthobiologics Medical Group (SDOMG). Please fully read my review for an explanation of my experience with Dr. Ambach and her team. I was 39 years old when I began experiencing sharp pains and a progressive reduction of mobility in my left shoulder. This was very concerning to me because I am a musician by trade, an avid surfer, and love playing sports with my son. A doctor referred me to SDOMG for imaging, diagnoses of my symptoms, and possible treatments. When I contacted SDOMG, Dr. Ambach and her team promptly scheduled me for an appointment. After performing the necessary imaging, Dr. Ambach found a tear in my left shoulder supraspinatus tendon and determined that I was a candidate for PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy. Initially I was unsure if this type of treatment would be effective at successfully treating my shoulder injury because I assumed surgery was needed to properly fix a torn tendon. After discussing the PRP procedure with Dr. Ambach and then separately conducting my own inquiry on PRP’s efficacy, I decided to proceed with the PRP therapy. The out-patient procedure was performed in July of 2021 and I was in and out of the office in two hours. Dr. Ambach and her team were extremely professional, kind, and accommodating during every step of my procedure and I felt completely confident in their care for me. Their facilities are very clean and well maintained. Dr. Ambach even took additional time to explain the entire process to my 8 year old son who wanted to know what was happening to his dad. At every step of my experience with Dr. Ambach and her team, I was treated with care and compassion. But what about the results? I waited over a year to write this review because my results of the PRP therapy are what determine whether I recommend SDOMG or not. I am glad to report a complete and full recovery. My shoulder has regained all mobility. I have no more pain and I now participate in all the activities that my injury used to preclude me from. Thank you Dr. Ambach and team!!! I am so grateful for everything you’ve done for me. I give my highest and well-earned recommendation to Dr. Ambach, her team, and SDOMG. Bravo!!! If you are considering PRP therapy, I highly recommend you consult SDOMG for their services. PS Special shout out to Andrea and Linda who walked me through the administrative parts of my experience at SDOMG. Thank you ladies for taking great care of me. Much appreciated.

Highly recommend sdomg for prp procedures. They did work on both my shoulders which have had surgeries in the past and got me back to playing golf quickly. Can't thank them enough!

Dr Ambach is an excellent physician. The staff is very caring and professional as well! Dr Ambach explains the procedures very well and really listens to you! We highly recommend her!

I have total trust and confidence in Dr Ambach. She is highly competent in her specialty, especially using regenerative medicine. She is a pleasure to work with- truly cares and listens, which is a rarity. Her support staff is also great ,and the office functions well. Five stars across the board!

Dr. Ambach is very caring and listens to your concerns. Very good bedside manners. Would recommend her for orthopedic pain relief.

Dr Ambach and SDOMG are wonderful. My husband and I have had great care there- they are progressive, compassionate and CARE- which is not so common any more! Dr A has guided us through numerous issues- scary infection in my husband's back, then issues for both of us that warranted epidurals- each step of the way, her care has been superb and the office crew are all great to work with. A pleasure in ...

Dr Ambach is an extremely caring doctor! The entire staff treats you with respect and empathy. Dr Ambach listens to all your concerns and allays any fears you might have. My procedure was explained well and the staff ensures you have minimal pain. My husband and I both highly recommend Dr Ambach and San Diego Orthobiologics!

Dr. Ambach and her staff are phenomenal. Personable, courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and extremely caring. I’ve had four surgeries on my knees during my 27 year career in the U.S. Marine Corps but this was the best experience of all my medical procedures. The genuine care that Dr. Ambach exhibited was unprecedented and refreshing. She talked me through every step of the stem cell process and addressed every question with considerable detail. The staff made me feel like I was a family member and not just another “assembly line” patient. If I could have Dr. Ambach be my personal physician in all things, my health would be better for it. It’s very rare that I look forward to my next visit regarding anything remotely related to healthcare but this experience was an absolute delight. Regarding the stem cell procedure, it’s too early to tell, but i have the utmost faith in Dr. Ambach and her staff. I felt at ease and comforted and “walked away” from this process with a promising future for my knees and the level of physical activity that I hope to regain. Oh, the staff is very supportive of our Veteran / First Responder community as well.
