“When I say I’m looking for a doctor, Dr. Austin Ambers is exactly what I’m looking for! He’s so kind and welcoming and such a good listener! Definitely kept me calm during my appointment. After he left the room, I was talking to one of the other members and he came back to share some after thoughts and it was really nice because it really told me he was thinking about my visit and my concerns. Super great doctor and everyone in the front was very sweet. Monica was also lovely and answered all my questions and made me feel so welcomed as well :)highly recommend!!”
