As a professional colleague of Dr. Ambardars who has worked closely with her in both the outpatient clinic and ER hospital settings, I can attest to Dr. Ambardars superb clinical and diagnostic skills, her agreeable bedside manner, and her genuine concern for patients. Dr. Ambardar is a consummate professional and a wonderful, caring psychiatrist. Her patients have always spoken very highly of her and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a bright, compassionate physician for themselves or their family members.
