Dr. Ambler is originally from Arkansas where he received his undergraduate and medical education. He moved to NC in 2007 to attend a residency at MAHEC in Asheville. After residency, he spent a year working at a bush hospital in northern Ghana in West Africa. Upon returning, he worked temporarily in Madison County, NC, before getting married and moving to Neah Bay, WA, to live and work on the Makah Reservation with his wife. They returned to NC in 2015 and moved to Alleghany County for proximity to other family in NC while still living in the mountains. They have lived here since. They have two young boys who love being outside on the trails! Professionally, Dr. Ambler enjoys living in and serving rural communities with a wider scope of primary care than exists in many big-city practices. He generally enjoys exercise, primarily running on the Blue Ridge Parkway and participating in triathlons.
