I have nothing personally against Dr. Ambler as I don't even know the man. I do however know that…read morehe has a PA by the name of Kathy Glenn Roberts aka Kathleen Glenn whom was previously employed at the Medical Center on Hammond Lane and I was a patient of her. I needed a PCP at the time so I had called the Great North Medical Ctr. and she was whom I was assigned to not a Doctor but a PA pretending to be a Doctor. She seemed pleasant enough at first until she started to diagnose me with all kinds of illnesses that I was sure I didn't have, My wife came to an office visit with me at one point and told her that I did not have Hypertension , I had what was called "white coat syndrome" she had an immediate dislike for my wife, My wife suggested a BP monitor Kathy agreed. Bottom line I wore the monitor for 48 hrs and returned , results all normal NO high BP reading. This PA was too quick to try to prescribe an RX for something I didn't need. Then she started in on a load of other things , when I felt perfectly healthy. The only issue I did develop was a belly button hernia which I knew needed surgery , my wife scheduled it in VT and I went to an appt. to see Kathleen for the referral before she knew the appointment in VT had already been made, she started to tell me she would set up an appointment with some surgeon in Plattsburgh and I said NO, I am already set up for a Surgeon in VT , I just need the referral faxed over to them for insurances purposes, She was pissed off and knew my wife had set it up. I said , I want to live and there are NO specialist in Plattsburgh for this type of surgery. I did have the surgery and all went well. I finally decided to get a new PCP and I heard Kathy was leaving anyway so great time to change. I asked for all my records which were paper at that time , I was totally blown away by some of the things she has written in MY medical record. She had wrote more about my wife than me, stating that my wife caused me stress ! What ? I never told her such a thing , my wife caused HER stress. I did not like the unprofessional things she wrote about my wife in my medical records that had no reason to had been written and were not true. Kathleen Glenn is a wanna be Doctor with no personality , no as they say bed side manner, rude , drug pusher, quick to diagnose and should not be allowed to be practicing medicine unless under strict supervision if at all. I would not bring an animal to her. If I am wrong and she is no longer at Dr. Ambler's , I apologize to the office. If she is there DO not accept her as your PCP she's a know it all and know's nothing.

Dr. Guaghan's office requires a credit card payment of $200 to make an appointment. I was told…read morethat if the appointment was kept, the insurance company would be billed and the $200 would be returned. I provided my insurance company's name and was told the office accepted that insurance. However, my $200 was not returned. When I inquired about this, I was given additional information that meant I would not be reimbursed for the $200. This information should have been given to me at the time the appointment was made not during or after the appointment. I provided enough information to the person who I made the appointment with to have been told that, in this case, the $200 would not be reimbursed, but the office is not taking responsibility for their error. Instead, I was told this has been their policy for a long while and it's in writing; they don't seem to understand that their policies have to be communicated correctly and timely to the patients. The info. in writing was provided at the time of the appointment which was too late to cancel since cancellations are required 24 hours in advance. I saw on Manta this office is estimated to earn $500,000 to 1 million dollars a year and has 1 - 4 employees. The doctor's policy of charging people in advance is working well for her but please be cautious when giving your money to her because, in my situation, I was not given the correct information to make an informed decision. Based on the information I received, I felt certain that as long as the appointment was kept, the $200 would be reimbursed but it was not and there was absolutely no sympathy or apology or any concern whatsoever that the doctor has $200 of my money that was caused by an error of her office staff. Shame on her.
