During her fifteen years of practice, Dr. Kimberly touched the lives of countless people and garnered respect from the surgical community around her. She worked tirelessly to help her patients and sacrificed much of herself for the betterment of those under her care. She was a committed staff member and continually put the wellbeing of others first, as is the hallmark of a true physician. In her personal life, she was married to a loving husband, Michael D'Ambrosio, and had two children, Carmen and Lorenzo, whom she loved more than life itself. She also remained committed to activity and exercise and credited her physical fitness with the ability for her to keep practicing even while the cancer had begun to ravage her body.

In 2023, after several years of battling a resurgent and unexplained stomach pain, Dr. Kim was finally diagnosed with advanced stage peritoneal carcinomatosis. Her entire abdomen was covered in inoperable, cancerous cells that caused significant pain. She went on to valiantly battle the unwinnable disease with chemotherapy and any other measures, despite the immense pain, for more than ten months. During that time, her desire to return to the operating room and to the patients she cared for fueled her heart.

On February 29, 2024, Dr. Kimberly Nemeth D'Ambrosio passed from cancer shortly after her 45th birthday. Though her life was short, the legacy of her impact on the lives of her patients is unparalleled. It is to this end that Dr. Kim's family and friends are looking to advance her name in medicine and continue her life's mission. In this website, you will find a place to write a testimonial to any experiences or memories you may have had with Dr. Kimberly.  There is also a link to donate money, in her name, to be used for a memorial and to advance her work in medicine even after death.

Beyond her professional achievements, Dr. Kimberly was a devoted mother and wife who managed to balance the demanding nature of her surgical career with her deep commitment to family. She embodied the belief that healing extends beyond the operating room and into every aspect of how we care for one another.
