WORTH IT
I was very pleased with my experience with Dr. Ashford and his staff. I came in with a lot of concerns and questions and Dr. Ashford thoroughly went over all of my options. one of the many things I had done was a pelvic prolapse surgery which recovered quickly and easily. I also had the Thermiva laser treatment but was a bit skeptical at first if it was really going to help or make a difference. It was clear to me after the second procedure that it was making a huge difference in my sex life. I could go on about the positive experience with him.

Five months since my prolapse surgery with Dr. Ashford and I feel like I’ve recovered 100%. No issues. I managed to get by with just ibuprofen after the first week and was able to start back at work easily four weeks after surgery.
I’d like to add that I also had to have a hysterectomy (LSH) just a couple weeks ago and managed to make it through the first few days of recovery with ibuprofen, heat and ice and again I feel great two weeks later. I can hardly notice any scarring or marks on my abdomen either.

Were you put under general or local for the prolapse surgery? Do you mind me asking what you paid and if insurance approved it?
