Dr Ashburn performed an emergency surgery (colectomy) for me. My case wasn’t straight forward and was risky but Dr Ashburn took on my case, preformed the surgery and saved my life.....Highly regarded and recommend!

I cannot say enough about this phenomenal surgeon. I have been struggling with GI issues for over 9 years. Life was slowly slipping away from me, until I met Dr. Ashburn. I have been a complicated case and Dr. Ashburn knew exactly what was going on inside of me within minutes of talking to me - something dozens of doctors for hours on end couldn't figure out! Her bedside manner is wonderful and she knows how to keep you confident and comfortable. I would give her an infinite number of stars!

Was able to provide an alternative to surgery (that had been recommended by another doctor as the only option). The treatment regimen she prescribed has cleared up the problem with no recurrences. During the appointment, she listened, was empathetic, and worked with me to come up with a solution.
