Patient Reviews
Dec 02, 2023
I saw Dr. Ash for a second opinion about an injury. I was very anxious because I had a very bad experience at another orthopedic clinic a month ago, but my appointment with Dr. Ash was entirely positive. He was careful in his examination, and explained both my condition and care plan in great detail, which made this consultation the antithesis of my experience at the other clinic.His bedside manner is caring, assuring, and he provided clear direction for treatment, medications, and followup. I was incredibly apprehensive about seeking treatment after my poor experience elsewhere, to the point where I brought my husband with me to my appointment, but Dr. Ash addressed me and was not condescending in the least.I would highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Ash especially to anyone seeking orthopedic care.
