Ambis Dental

Very very dishonest clinic. I have my MetLife insurance from Cornell University and asked Dotti if this was covered or not before my first visit. She was very certain about this and claimed that it would cover at least 60%. Guess what, after three-time visits and paying over $1300, I only received around $130 from the insurance company. I called MetLife and they told me Ambis Dental was out of network. What a scam!!!! Later, I argued this with Dotti. She was extremely rude and told me that the insurance company sucked. She never admitted her fault. Dotti was very nice if you spend money. Once I decided to switch to another dental office, she became very mean and impatient. What a mercenary woman!!! She also promotes a CT scan to everyone, which costs $700 and is pretty useless, unnecessar

I've been a patient of Dr. Ambis since he opened his practice, more than 40 years ago. He and his staff have done a great job of helping me keep my teeth and my gums in good shape. He is very concerned with pain control. He also treated my father when he was 90 years old. Ithaca is very fortunate to have Dr. Ambis available.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Ambis, his wife, Dottie, and the staff. Not only do you feel like family there, but Dr . Ambis is incredibly caring. I highly recommend them to anyone. I went there because of any issue with my jaw, but I’m also keeping Dr. Ambis as my regular go-to dentist.

The best dentist in Ithaca. After years of having dentists who took advantage of me and gave me unnecessary fillings, Dr. Ambis was a breath of fresh air. I scheduled my first appointment with Dr. Ambis about 7 years ago, after being told by my dentist at the time that I needed two fillings (something I was being told at almost every cleaning). During my first appointment, Dr. Ambis said that I didn’t have any cavities that needed to be filled, and that I just had two weak spots that I should pay extra attention to when brushing and flossing. My old dentist had been drilling what didn’t need to be drilled in order to make a quick buck. Dr. Ambis will never try to sell you unnecessary procedures. He doesn’t judge your for the state of your teeth, and he is incredibly accommodating to folks

Friendly staff...you pay for what you get...he has fixed several teath from previous work from other dentist... not pushy in any way to have work done . You go when you are ready and comfortable... great for fixing fillings crowns and ect. I highly recommend him over many dentist that are well known in the area ..he has had to fix a lot of issues they did incorrectly....will never go anywere else ...in addition you can call and ask them how much a cleaning will be or filing..like I said I would rather pay and have them done correctly than have a filling fall out several times in the past from previous dentist ...he takes good pride in his work !!♡♡
