I went to Dr. Ashburn several years ago on the recommendation of my primary care doctor, after being told by another Ophthalmologist that I needed cataract surgery immediately, had macular degeneration and would gradually lose my eyesight. Dr. Ashburn assured me I had neither problem. Dr Ashburn has performed cataract surgery on two of my friends and they have been extremely satisfied with his excellent skill and care. I would highly recommended Dr. Frank Ashburn.

Ive seen him for years and he is terrific. I have a complicated eye situation and he has been so careful and conscientious to follow up with me and to be so caring during visits. He is first rate.

I hardly know Dr Ashburn but he has a good reputation and seems a nice and knowledgeable man. BUT the process of getting information, forms, dates and so on for a procedure have been horrible. Lots and lots of calls and emails, and then conflicting information. Very stressful
