Dr. Ahearn is a rare gem! How was I so fortunate to stumble upon her?? Always greets me with a genuine smile....efficient, takes whatever time needed to go over every detail....never acts like she is in a rush to get rid of you as so many doctors do. Extremely brilliant at what she does--the Sherlock Holmes of the medical world! Never have I seen a doctor like her in my life. Just hope she (nor I) ever have to move as she will be my doctor FOR LIFE!!!

Awesome Doctor...just the best I've ever had ! My wife and I both go to her, and she is just excellent. A very kind and caring person. I have had her as my Doctor for at least 10 years, and I am so fortunate to have her. Be sure to book your appointment early, as her schedule fills up quickly .

I have been seeing Dr. Ahearn for many years. She has been spot on with every diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Ahearn is always up to date on what's new and if it is suitable you. At times I have gone off on my own to see other Drs. or search the web for information. Guess what? It always turns out that she was right from the very beginning. She works hard a taking care of me and is one of the nicest persons I've ever meet.
