I was hit with a few major diagnoses at once and didn't realize how much it could effect women's health overall. There were times where I had honestly given up on the possibility of being without pain until Dr. Ashford had instilled in me that women don't have to just exist with it. Dr. Ashford is the most honest and thoughtful provider I've ever worked with. He explains decision making with clarity and ease without making you feel overwhelmed or small. I'm someone with a boat load of anxiety and Dr. Ashford and the team here at MNWC are truly sensitive to my needs and want to see their patients reach their wellness goals. I'm beyond thankful and wish I could begin to describe the kind of gratitude that comes with that but for now I'd just say thank you so much!

Pelvic Pain

My experience with Dr. Ashford has been absolutely amazing. I've seen many physician's for my problem and this is the first time I feel that someone has listened and offered options/solutions versus being dismissive. I feel like I'm finely on the right path. I would highly recommend Dr. Ashford!

Great experience

I was admittedly a bit nervous, having never seen a male OBGYN doctor before, but I felt very comfortable with Dr. Ashford, as well as getting a thorough and clear discussion of all my options. I am excited to have found him.

All of my interactions with Dr. Ashford have been very, very positive.

As I stated above, all of my interactions and treaments received by Dr. Ashford and his staff have been very, very positive. they work in a very timely manner. They ask questions, listen carefully, and perform the treatments, (if necessary) with care and concern for the patient and the patient's welfare. All of their practices are performed in a clean, and hygienic manner. They are very pleasant, and polite to their patients, care about the patient's outcomes and welfare, and very knowledgable.
I do have a problem with the question on trust in decision making. I trust the medical decisions they make implicitly. But in general, I don't like when patients interfere with the healthcare professionals' decision with what they think from "the Internet". People in healthcare, especially the doctor have gone to school, for a long time, and worked hard to learn what they know. If patients can get what they need to know from the Internet, or believe they know better than the doctor, th

Working with Dr Ashford has been an amazing experience. I struggled for many years with severe pain that I couldn't manage. He was the first person to listen to me and my needs. He was diligent in developing a plan that worked for me! I'm grateful to have been under his car and the rest of the team at the Women's Center. I feel like I'm cared for by everyone there, they all know you and really care how your progress is going. The services offered are tailored for your needs and really treating the whole person not just the initial problem or concern! I would recommend their care over and over again. I am truly grateful.
