About Dr. Ambush

Dr. Jacqueline Ambush has served her community despite numerous challenges throughout more than 30 years of experience in pediatric and adolescent medicine. Her optimism, passion for pediatric medicine and love for children have been the foundation of her success throughout her career.

Dr. Ambush's origins are Jamaican, though she was raised by her Indian grandparents and immigrated to the United States in 1980. Dr. Ambush has always been civically minded and inspired by her love for children - to wit, she volunteered in pediatrics as a teenager. After graduating high school, she pursued an education in pediatric medicine. Diagnosed with a seizure disorder, she was unable to complete her pre-med program.

Undeterred, she decided to instead study for a career in nursing and, in 1992, graduated cum laude with a Master of Science from Lehman College, City University of New York, where she was designated as a clinical nurse specialist in maternal and child health. Dr. Ambush entered her nursing career and was assigned to the intensive care unit (ICU), but switched to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where she spent the bulk of her successful 20-year nursing career.

At the age of 50, Dr. Ambush decided to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor despite naysayers. In 2013, she completed her post-master's certificate pediatric nurse practitioner program at The Catholic University of America. Inspired by her personal motto, "If you can dream it, you can achieve it," she opened her clinic, Ambush Pediatrics and Family Medical Clinic, in Baltimore, Maryland, in 2014.

Aware of the intricacies of the medical care industry, Dr. Ambush strives for a high standard of care at her clinic while also being mindful of health care resources for her patients. She is aware that there is a need for advocacy for patients within the health care system and that insurance agencies should adapt to ensure appropriate actions are taken to improve their services.

Dr. Ambush maintains a steady awareness of the needs of the community and adjusts the services of her clinic accordingly. She oversees a staff that includes three doctors, a nutritionist and a psychiatrist. One addition to the services her clinic provides is substance abuse counseling (adult and geriatric patients). The Ambush Pediatrics and Family Medical Clinic will continue to expand its services to the underserved and expand its reach to meet the needs of the community.

Dr. Ambush is aware of her status as a role model and believes in the incredible potential of the human spirit. She endeavors to inspire everyone around her to achieve their goals. Her belief in the saying, "When God gives the vision, he also gives you the provision," continually inspires her to achieve her aspirations for herself and the community she serves.

Dr. Ambush is a member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP Inc.), Maryland Board of Nursing (MBON), American Nurses Association and the American Nurses Credentialing Center. She has been featured in Millenium Magazine, Who's Who in High School and Who's Who in College for her successful endeavors in the field of pediatric and adolescent medicine.

Dr. Ambush continues to showcase her passion for community through her work at Ambush Pediatrics and Family Medical Clinic. She is dedicated to helping her patients and strives to offer more services needed in the community.
