Patient Reviews

Mar 15, 2024

I met with Dr. Ashford yesterday in order to have my hormone pellets inserted as I do three times a year. The procedure went well, and I have benefited enormously from this treatment over the years. I also spoke with him at length about my interstitial cystitis flareup and pudental nerve pain. He suggested a couple of new treatments including acupuncture. I had my first acupuncture appointment today and it went very well. I feel confident that my condition will be alleviated. Dr. Ashford has always been very helpful in addressing my issues of pain and pelvic floor dysfunction. I have total confidence in him, and I am very grateful for his knowledge and expertise.
