Ambay Plastic Surgery

Update: I’m now a few weeks post-op with Dr. Ambay and although it’s still too early to expect or see final results, I have to share my experience with the practice’s patient care. Surgery is always intimidating and complications (or anxiety about complications) don’t adhere to business hours. That’s why I was so delighted when, as post-operative care was being explained to me before I went home, the nurse pointed out an “email with ANY questions” address on my paperwork. It didn’t take me long before I had a question come up and I emailed the inbox for help. It was early evening hours so I didn’t expect a response until the morning; but I was so pleased to actually get a reply that night— and from Dr. Ambay himself. I learned this is the norm: maybe it’s a few minutes, maybe it’s a few hours, but day, night, weekday, or weekend, I’ve gotten a reasonably expedient (commensurate with the urgency of the question or concern) response every time I needed him.

Sometimes it can feel like you’re just a faceless case or “patient number X” with doctors, but my experience with Dr. Ambay— and his staff— has been so personal from beginning to end. I feel cared for as a person. His staff knows me (not just my name) and have been so sweet and attentive and reassuring every step of the way.

Original: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Ambay’s office in Wesley Chapel for a consultation and am happy to share it was a positive experience all around. The office itself is impressive: professional, bright, clean, spacious, and comfortable—some doctor’s offices can feel either overly sterile and cold, and others swing entirely the other way, feeling too trendy and even unhygienic.

Dr. Ambay’s staff matched the atmosphere: friendly and welcoming but professional and knowledgeable. I especially appreciated how they were so familiar with my chart. For instance, I was greeted by the same person I scheduled the appointment with and she spoke to me like she was my personal guide to the office.

And Dr. Ambay himself was outstanding. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this consultation and felt a little vulnerable going in, but Dr. Ambay reviewed my concerns with me and patiently explained what he could do to address them—although, importantly, he put me in the “driver’s seat” for how to proceed, only offering me information and choices (vs. suggestions). The best I can explain it is that he was personable with me, but scientific with the problem, removing much of the sensitivity of the topic. I highly recommend Dr. Ambay and his team for anyone considering surgery.

I can’t say enough good things about this office. From the day I called for an appointment I was so impressed with the staff. Then when we went into the office things were even better. Dr Ambay was amazing. Puts you at ease and goes in depth into what you want, the real expectations and how procedures will be done. By the time you leave you feel so confident in him and his staff. I left knowing I didn’t need a second opinion, he’s the guy! Great staff and amazing doctor.

I recently had the opportunity to consult with Dr. Ambay for liposuction and a tummy tuck, and I couldn’t be more impressed with my experience. From the very beginning, Dr. Ambay was incredibly supportive and took the time to explain everything in great detail. It honestly felt like being in a lecture on human anatomy, where he covered everything about my body, both anatomically and physically.

What really stood out to me was how he walked me through all of my options and made sure I was fully informed about the risks involved. His approach was not about pushing for a procedure, but rather educating me so that I could make the best choice for myself. He genuinely cares about his patients and their well-being, not just about the money.

I highly recommend Dr. Ambay to anyone considering these procedures. He truly takes the time to ensure you are informed, comfortable, and confident in your decision. Definitely give him a try!

I recently had a consultation with Dr. Ambay, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. With over 30 years of experience, his expertise and confidence are immediately evident, and he approaches his work with a level of care and professionalism that is truly unmatched.

Dr. Ambay is incredibly kind, personable, and down-to-earth, which instantly put me at ease. He took the time to give me his undivided attention, thoroughly explaining every step of the procedures I was considering. What really stood out was his ability to break down the science behind the procedures in a way that was easy to understand. He explained the “why” behind each approach, the expected outcomes, and how certain choices would impact the final results.

No question was left unanswered, and he made sure I felt completely informed and confident before moving forward. His honesty and straightforward communication style were so refreshing—he’s truly a straight shooter, which gave me full trust in his abilities.

I left the consultation with the utmost confidence that Dr. Ambay would not only deliver the promised results but also care for me in a way no other surgeon has. If you’re looking for a surgeon with unparalleled skill, integrity, and a genuine approach, I can’t recommend Dr. Ambay highly enough.

Fantastic. Gifted skills of a surgeon! Excellent precision, quality, knowledge, and caring. If I had 5 thumbs, I’d give Dr. Ambay 5 thumbs up. His staff as well. Plus he’s a fellow Army Colonel. My highest recommendation possible!

Very thorough evaluation. Dr Ambay did not push me into any procedures. In fact, he talked me out of a procedure that he thought wouldn't work for my face/neck structure. He was very honest and set realistic expectations. I would highly recommend this facility!

I had a wonderful consultation today with Dr. Ambay. I am a returning patient, Dr Ambay did my tummy tuck and now Im going for a mastopexy. He takes his time and is very thorough with explaining the entire procedure. His bedside manner is unmatched, and his staff is equally as wonderful.

Meeting with Dr. Ambay for a consultation was by far the best experience I've had meeting with a doctor to discuss my concerns. He takes the time to listen, understand and explain any questions before you even ask. I felt completely comfortable booking my procedure and I was not disappointed. His entire staff makes sure you have all your questions answered and are very nice and helpful. My procedure was a success and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Dr. Ambay, it truly was a pleasant experience.

Dr. Ambay made me feel very comfortable and took quite a bit of time to fully explain the whole procedure. His staff is very warm and friendly with a facility that is state of the art and fully equipped to handle anything. I highly recommend him and will be scheduling my breast reduction with him.

After several procedures later, this experience was the best by far. Dr. Ambay is really focused on getting you the results you are looking for, he is easy and a lot of fun to talk to. Not only did he do a great job on my surgery, he corrected the mess previous surgeons made! The entire staff was extremely nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ambay for those who are considering getting work done. I couldn’t be happier!! Thanks guys.

Best consultation ever. Everyone was so friendly and informative. Not once did I feel rushed and I felt all questions were answered in the simplest of terms. I felt the education was so helpful in understanding what to expect and how the heal correctly. I look forward to using them for my care and feel completely safe. Cannot wait to start this journey. I HIGHLY recommend!!

Went for consultation for brow lift, facelift, c o 2 lazer, upper and lower eyelid, lip flip, neck lift and Dr. Ambay was extremely thorough and took such a long time explaining everything in details. Seriously there wasn’t anything he didn’t go over and explain and show via screen tv how each procedure would be performed. I couldn’t feel more comfortable and confident in his abilities as a surgeon. I’m so excited to undergo this transformation and look forward to the new and improved me.

I am on my journey of self improvement and after a 105lb weight loss i found myself with a large amount of excess skin. I am a Nurse Practitioner and a researcher and met with over 12 surgeons in the tampa bay area to see who I would pick for my mommy makeover. I saw Dr Ambay first and I was treated like an old friend. He is one of the kindest people I have ever met. He was so thorough in his evaluation and made me feel so comfortable. Every consult with other surgerons afterwards fell short. Nobody was as personable. Nobody was as comforting. At the end of my adventure of finding the perfect surgeon, i decided to meet with Dr Ambay again to make my final decision. After we hung out I felt completely at peace and knew for sure that he is my surgeon. His experience and bedside manner are incomparable. I feel so at ease and trust him with my life. I am officially booked for surgery and I cannot wait to see my results!!

I went to Ambay for a consultation and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The team and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful the entire time. Dr. Ambay was very direct and informative regarding the procedure, my options, and all factors going into it. He was very well educated and made sure that I was educated on all of my options and was very thorough in explaining the “why” behind all of my options. Overall it was a very exciting and stress free experience!

The staff is amazing! Navy completely sold me on Dr. Ambay over the phone when booking my consultation. She is a gem, made me feel so comfortable and confident by answering all my questions in detail. My consultation was very informative and worth the time. Excited to book my appointment!

Dr. Ambay and his staff were very professional. I went in for consultations to remove unsightly hump on my neck and back. He took his time and explained the procedure to me which would be done in the same building which is very convenient. I have decided to go with Dr. Ambay and I am very excited to finally get this procedure done.

I had a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Ambay, and cannot say enough good about Dr. Ambay and his staff! Every step on this journey has been made easier by them. Dr. Ambay did an excellent job on my surgery, and everyone was very helpful through my aftercare and recovery. I am back-pain free have my 20 year old body back at 40! 100 stars!

Dr Ambay is the best of the best! I don't think I've ever been to a doctor who is as detailed, informative, easy-going and straight forward as him. I came in for a consultation and as always, I was a nervous wreck - but Dr Ambay was very reassuring and answered all of my questions. Even after the consultation, he took time out of his busy day to call me again and answer more of my questions. I trust him 110%. He will always be my go-to in the plastic surgery industry. Go to him! You will NOT be disappointed, I promise!

I want to take the time and the pleasure to say thank you. Dr Ambay and his staff is AMAZING. Dr Ambay is not only a great plastic surgeon but also has incredible bedside manners. He takes his time to carefully explain every step of the process. He is very transparent and honest. He truly cares.

Words cannot express how much I enjoyed my consultation with Dr. Ambay and Pricilla. Pricilla is so caring and had a great way of explaining what was to expected with my consultation and my tummy tuck. It was so easy to ask all of questions because I felt like I was talking to a friend.
I worked as nurse for 10 years and can honestly say Dr. Ambay is the best doctor with bedside manner that I have ever encountered . He sat down next to me and was so easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. All of my questions where thoroughly answered! His eye for details is so important in helping me achieve my desired look! I am looking forward to having this team do my tummy tuck!! I highly recommend this team for all of your plastic surgery needs!!!

I went for a consultation with Dr. Ambay, not sure of what to really expect or very knowledgeable about the whole process, however when I left I had been provided with a wealth of knowledge and more confidence in my decision. Dr. Ambay took as much time as I needed answering questions, going over the information, explaining the surgery and the expectations and just getting an understanding of my goals and what type of look I wanted to achieve and how they would work to achieve those goals. He even educated me on things I didn't know about my own body. I appreciated his straight-forward and honest approach, and can definitely see myself going with Dr. Ambay for my surgery needs.

I met with Dr Ambay for a consultation a few weeks ago and he made me feel so comfortable with my questions and decisions. He was so informative and accommodating. I had met with two other surgeons prior and they were both horrible in comparison. They both told me the way they do things and why it was the best option. Dr Ambay took the time to ask my wants, needs, and about my lifestyle to determine which options would suit me best. We spent an hour discussing surgery options. I had some additional questions a couple weeks later so the office let me schedule a second consultation at no charge because they wanted me to feel comfortable with my decision. I ended up booking a surgery date at the second consultation because of how awesome everyone was. Lauren at the front desk and Jacqueline the patient care coordinator were both phenomenal and made me feel so at ease. I couldn’t be more excited for this journey and will update after!

First Dr. Ambay has the best consultation I have ever experienced. He takes his time and explains the whole process instead of expecting you to have all the questions. If you haven’t had the procedure you don’t know what questions to ask. My consultation was 3 hours and he didn’t make me feel like he wanted to leave. Second, he is the only surgeon that I have found that includes sewing your abdominal muscles together along with the skin removal and lipo of a tummy tuck included in a mommy makeover. He also includes extras like making sure your whole midsection looks good not just the front of your waist. Dr. Ambay also does his best to avoid using cuts that leave more visible scars than necessary. He and his office staff are truly kind and courteous and polite to you ever time you call or visit them.

Dr. Ambay and his team are truly amazing. From the moment I walked into the facilities, I was met with courtesy and care. My consultation with Dr. Ambay was refreshingly honest and surprisingly comfortable. Not only did Dr. Ambay take the time to discuss my expectations and goals, but he thoughtfully and patiently walked me through the science behind each procedure of interest to me so that I could make an informed decision. There is no doubt that Dr. Ambay and his team take pride in what they do and how it's done. This team of professionals work extremely hard to ensure that patients are more than just satisfied with their transformation results, but happy about them as well.

Dr. Ambay is an incredibly talented plastic surgeon. He takes time with his patients and makes sure they understand everything before he does a procedure. He is very kind and compassionate. I felt comfortable with him from the minute I stepped into his office. His entire staff was first-rate. I am extremely pleased with my results and would recommend him to anyone looking to have plastic surgery.

Dr. Ambay is an excellent doctor. He is thorough and caring and he takes time with his patients. He explains options and answers all questions so that the patient completely understands. He is meticulous and strives for magnificent results. He also has the best staff ever...they are warm, friendly and insightful. I had a great experience and would recommend Ambay Plastic Surgery to anyone.

Before I met Dr. Ambay I did extensive online research and visited 2 other surgeons. I searched for who had the best credentials and best online reviews and Dr. Ambay had both of these. As soon as I had my first consultation I knew I was in good hands and that my surgery would be a success. Ambay Plastic Surgery is by far the most professional and reputable practice in the Tampa Bay area. Dr. Ambay was honest and answered every question and concern I had in preparation of my breast implant surgery. He and his team made me feel safe and comfortable from beginning to end. Going to Dr. Ambay was the best decision I could've made. I am extremely pleased with my results and would recommend him to anyone looking to have cosmetic surgery.

My experience at Ambay Plastic Surgery was phenomenal! Jackie and Isabel, the Patient Care Coordinator and Surgical Coordinator, were friendly and professional and made me feel as though I was a priority. Lauren, my nurse, had a soothing presence and made me feel at ease. Dr. Ambay was excellent in both his interactions and in his work. He is friendly and respectful and very skilled. My surgery was a success. I am very proud of the work he did, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality care when needing plastic surgery.

Dr. Ambay is an amazing physician. I had a breast augmentation done and I am more then satisfied with the results. He will answer any and all questions you have. He takes as much time as you need during your consultation visits to make you feel comfortable about your procedure. This was the first time I had ever been under anesthesia, and Dr Ambay made me feel safe about the surgery. I appreciate how patient he was with me and the thousands of questions I had for him. It is hard to find physicians that offer amazing patient care, and Dr Ambay truly does that. He is such a kind hearted man and it shows every time you talk to him. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
