Schedule a Consultation"Great surgeon. I got in to see her and got my surgery scheduled both in a very timely manner. Dr. Ash takes time to answer your questions and doesn’t feel rushed at all. She even personally called me on a weekend post-op when I had a question. I feel like that’s unheard of."

"As someone who’s never had surgery, I was terrified and extremely anxious about getting my umbilical hernia fixed with mesh. But it was a lot less scary once I met Dr. Ash who really took her time to explain everything. I never felt rushed talking to her, and she really made me feel comfortable. I truly believe she’s a gifted surgeon!"
