After three surgeries with no relief from my pain, I was starting to lose hope. Doctor Ashford truly listened to me and took my concerns seriously. Thanks to their care.I finally felt some relief the very day I had my fourth surgery. I’m incredibly grateful for the difference they made in my experience.
