Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Front office is friendly and helpful. Minimum wait times. Dr Ashworth is nice and seems very competent. Answers all questions thoroughly. I like that you can get the lab work done right there.

Dr Ashworth has some of the most obnoxious and rude staff people I have ever experienced. When I try to call and talk to dr. Ashworth he will not return my calls only a nurse who is extremely rude. I am leaving Dr Ashworth because of his lack of ability to run an office properly. No one should have to put up with the garbage I have had two at this office. If you are considering going to this doctor forget it it is not worth it. The last time I saw Dr Ashworth it took 5 minutes just wrong
