Dr. Ambrogini is nice and always listens to any concerns I have during my appointments. I had labs drawn that were abnormal. She messaged me soon after the results to let me know and changed my prescription the same day. I was able to start the medication the next day without any delays.

Dr. Ambrogini is by far the best physician I have ever had! Very detailed. Takes her time to explain any questions I might have. Explains the bone density results in terms I can understand and explains what course we should take based on those results. Very friendly. Acts like I am the only patient she has all day. I would highly recommend UAMS does everything they can to keep her until she is ready to retire some day.
