Amazing Dr. A!
I have never before reviewed a doctor, but Dr. Aylesworth saved my life when I had stage 3 cancer in 2003. She is my favorite doctor ever, and I cried when I got the letter that she is retiring. She is informed, compassionate, and amazing I’m happy for her but sad for myself. I know, though, that I was blessed to have her when I needed her most.

Total Healing
My regular bimonthly visits are something I actually look forward to because Dr.A is so kind and will treat all of me. No issue is to small. She anticipates your health needs. She takes the initiative to treat the physical and emotional aspects of my cancer. I feel seen, heard and protected. She doesn’t promise miracles. She delivers sound and exceptional health care. When you mention her name to other providers her attention to her patients is remarked upon. I have often marveled that she maintains such a pleasant happy demeanor given the nature of her work. Her behavior brings out the best in me. No matter how sad or scared I have been Dr.Aylesworth’s strength and professionalism can be relied upon. I feel 100% confident in her understanding and knowledge.
