Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Bad Customer Servie
Dr Ambaw cancelled my mom's appointment without anyone from his office calling to tell us about the cancellation. I drove from South OKC to North OKC on icy roads to pick my mom up. As this was our first office visit with him, once I got to what I thought was the building his office was in, I called to confirm the address. That is when I found out the appointment had been cancelled. His office confirmed we did not receive a call and apologized. Offered to reschedule in MWC. It is not convenient to get to MWC to see him, nor should we have to wait another month for an appointment in North OKC. We will be switching doctors!! In bad weather, it is imperative doctors communicate cancellations. His office did not show us the courtesy. We won't continue with him.

Scheduled me for 2nd CAT scan for more information on possible complex cyst. Didn't tell Lab why he ordered 2nd scan so report didn't say whether cyst was simple or complex. That's why the scan was scheduled, to clarify if it was simple or complex. Also ordered Lab test, Lab couldn't read his orders, delayed another week, wasted time waiting at Lab so they could contact him for clarification. Recommended I see a urologist, since he wouldn't even make diaganosis.! Waste of time and money!
