Great review for Dr Ambach!

Dr. Mary Ambach is one of the most caring, concerned, knowledgeable, patient, and healing person I ever met.

I had been in terrible pain with a torn hamstring and rotator cuff that was impacting my busy life for 3 years on and off.

I met Dr. Ambach in her Los Angeles office in March, 2019. She read my MRI’s and proceeded to do an ultra sound of the affected areas.

After looking at the tears she came up with a few different ways we could address the situation. We discussed the options at great length and decided to go with Prolo therapy, which is homeopathic. During the procedure Dr.Ambach explained exactly what she was doing and always asked if I as in pain. I never felt any pain during the injections or after that a bit of icing did not help. I left her office feeling like I was on the right track to healing my body. (Part 1 of 2)

This was basically a first time consultation.

Dr. Ambach was very good in answering all of my questions and seemed totally knowledgeable about the possible causes of my discomfort.

Excellent Consultation

Dr. Ambach took a lot of time to look at my previous MRI and explain them to me. She was very clear about the next steps and I was very impressed with her professionalism, intelligence and kindness.

Seems like a miracle.

I was having problems with my knees even going to the grocery store. I had to lean on a shopping cart. I live on the beach and couldn't walk very far on the beach without knees hurting.

I had both stem cell and PRP treatments in both knees.

I became pain free in 9 weeks! Minor flareups every once in a while for example when I carried four bags of heavy grocery bags upstairs. A little Alleve for 3 or 4 days and all good. Oh, I used to have problems going up and downstairs. No more. As I healed my knees became stronger and more flexible. For example, lowering myself to the floor and getting back up. Much better now.

I am very thankful this treatment option was available. I did not want knee replacement surgery.

Amazing results after years of chronic shoulder pain!!

I highly recommend Dr, Ambach, her staff and the PRP procedure. I had been in a car accident back in 2012, had a surgery on my shoulder and physical therapy, but things never really improved. I spent years dealing with chronic pain and flair ups. My son had heard about PRP and suggested I look into after being concerned about my chronic pain. I am soooo glad I did. The PRP with Dr Ambach and then my work with Megan at Evolve Physical Therapy has been life changing. I have full range of motion now and am pain free. Thank you to Dr. Ambach and Megan!!!

Dr. Ambach is very professional and knowledgeable.

My experience was amazing! The staff did everything they could to keep me comfortable during the procedure. Dr. Ambach explained everything as she performed the procedure. The follow up by Dr. Ambach and her staff was very thorough. I would definitely recommend this. I have already noticed good results in the first 6 weeks.
