UofU Patient May 03, 2013
Dr. Ambati is really nice, very caring.
UofU Patient April 24, 2013Dr Ambatti has always given me excellent care every time I see him.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013my overall experience at the south jordan eye hospital was very good. my experience at the reception at the moran eye hospital, trying to find the right person to make an appointment with dr. ambati, was not a very pleasent experience.
UofU Patient April 08, 2013Dr. Ambatti is wonderful and gave me information I can use to to keep my eyes healthy.
UofU Patient April 02, 2013Dr. Ambati himself came to the hallway and invited me in. He proceeded to seat me, greet me and treat me. There were no assistants; like, they took the day off. How kind of Dr. Ambati to let them do that! He is the best! I was in and out in 15 minutes. Perhaps the assistants delay the exams in some way?
UofU Patient March 11, 2013Dr. Ambati is the best. He is brilliant, skilled, thoughtful, caring, and generous.
UofU Patient March 11, 2013I am quite happy that Dr. Ambati is an excellent eye doctor. But, as important, he is a remarkable human being. His video lecture in India was superb, and what I have experienced of him here equals this. I find myself spreading the good word about Moran, including Dr. Ambati and others, and their work here and outside the US. Most aspects of the appointment, I did not really notice, so I am not very reliable as a 'witness'.
UofU Patient February 09, 2013Very satisfied. Providers went beyond the call of duty, giving extra assistance, when asked, re: related situation.
UofU Patient January 23, 2013Dr. Ambati is an excellent doctor, but perhaps also the best man I have ever met.
UofU Patient January 07, 2013this Dr. is one of a kind
UofU Patient December 31, 2012Very enjoyable visit and the doctor and PA both spent time with me explaining anything I needed to know. Very personable and approachable.
UofU Patient December 30, 2012Dr. Ambati has been very good during my care at Moran. He sent me to Germany for a special lens that could not be done in the US and did a great job on the cataract surgery in the other eye. I would highly recommend him.
UofU Patient December 25, 2012Dr. Ambati was excellent. He showed genuine concern for me when the surgery did not go as planned and made sure I had the best care possible to "fix" the problem
UofU Patient December 18, 2012I recommend Dr. Ambati and the Moran Eye Clinic to all my friends and acquaintances, very often!
UofU Patient December 06, 2012if you ask a question always get a good answer. Usually does not provide much "why" explanatiions otherwise. More explanation of the medication would help.
UofU Patient November 26, 2012Dr. Ambati explained so well what my results were and about all that was done. I've never had that much explained to me before. I plan on returning in a year, because it was such a positive experience for me. Thank you!
UofU Patient November 26, 2012I have had no bad experiences.
UofU Patient November 13, 2012Always positive.
UofU Patient October 29, 2012I seldom rate anyone with straight 5s, but this really was an exceptional visit.
UofU Patient October 04, 2012Outstanding and caring physician with great expertise
UofU Patient September 17, 2012I have never been MORE PLEASED with a Dr. before !!
UofU Patient August 21, 2012I think you've got a good man there in Dr. Ambati.
UofU Patient August 06, 2012thank you for putting my mind at ease im very greatfull
UofU Patient July 16, 2012Dr. Ambati is an empathetic provider.
UofU Patient June 26, 2012The experience with Dr. Ambati was beyond what words can describe really- you may be tempted to think that someone of his training, status, etc. would not be the perfect picture of beside manner(as I have experienced this with others in the past).... However, I could not have asked for a more kind, caring and knowledgeable professional. This was a superior experience to all other physician encounters I have had in the past.
UofU Patient April 18, 2012Very polite, softspoken, confidence in himself.
UofU Patient March 07, 2012At one point I asked the question, 'do these meds need to be given 5 minutes apart?' The response - '1 or 2 minutes.' is really not adequate. Now at home, I'm assuming there is a wait because med 1 has a diluting effect ... explanations of 'why' are super helpful to the patient/care provider & goes a long way to assure compliance. I expressed some concerns to the doctor; I'm not really sure I was 'heard'. Hope so.
UofU Patient February 15, 2012I have and will tell anyone who needs an eye care professional that Dr. Ambatti is the doctor to see. I respect him and trust everything he and I talk about and the procedures he has performed on me. When he brings in students to look at my eyes and gives them training I really enjoy being their subject of training.
UofU Patient January 04, 2012I have already recommended the Center and Dr. Ambahti to many of my friends.
