What our patients say ...

  • Today was my 34 week OB appointment with Heather. Heather is such a comfort to me and addresses my concerns confidently and thoughtfully. I've had so many great experiences with Heather, including the care of my first pregnancy and delivery of my daughter. Trusting Heather with my care has been easy and even fun!
    L.G. - Patient
  • Comprehensive, on-time, and helpful. Today's visit was on-time. Rachel Snell was comprehensive, quick and very helpful. She offered to check on availability of mammogram - I was able to combine services at my appointment. Rachel is very responsive and presents very credibly.
    Anon - Patient
  • I really appreciate Dr. Kelly's expertise and honestly. I've known her for 10 years, through 4 children and now working through the changes of turning 40! She has always been so down to earth and real. She's not just interested in my medical health but my overall well being. She remembers the little things even from years before. She's just amazing!
    J.B. - Patient
  • Dr. Kelly is our "all in the family" physician and my daughters and I have been her patients for many years. Both in my own care and during the deliveries of my grandchildren, she has been encouraging, supportive, and exceptionally skilled. I continue to have the highest level of confidence in her care.
    C.H. - Patient
  • Erin Epperly is my saving grace! I first saw Erin when I was barely able to move due to a sore back/pelvic in my first pregnancy. Not only was she able to relieve my pain but she has also been a great source for all of my first time momma questions and concerns. I absolutely love my appointments with Erin. I am always more comfortable and I always walk away with more information and pointers to continue care outside of her office. I feel very comfortable with Erin and feel that I can tell her anything that is on my mind, even if I'm crazy. Love her - would HIGHLY recommend her to everyone I know!
    D.K. - Patient
  • Doctor Ashford and his staff gave me my life back and I would recommend them to anyone dealing with OBGYN needs. He worked with me for many months and really listened to and understood me, he also personally preformed surgery on me in April and found the right medication for my endometriosis. A million thank you's to EVERYONE at the clinic, from the people answering the phones, all the way to the nurses and Doctors Ashford, may God bless you all.
    M.A. - Patient
  • Julie Ann is very kind and understanding! She was very kind and helpful. She was not judgmental at all and I felt like she listened to everything I said and did a great job explaining everything to me that I asked about!
    J.P. - Patient
  • I have had a great experience with Minnesota women's care at all four locations. When I was going through an ectopic pregnancy they were the most attentive out of all clinics I reached out to. They helped me through every stage including surgery. Naturally when I got pregnant again I went back and was able to meet many of the doctors and midwives. Now I am about to deliver my first child and am so excited!

  • Dr. Ashford is the best doctor. His staff are amazing as well. It is an honor to have you and your team at Minnesota Women's Care. To all those looking for a good doctor, this is the right choice.

  • I am blessed to have been seen by one of the very best provider at MN Women's Care. Heather DeJarnett was very thoughtful, direct and informative. I feel that after my visit all my concerns and worries was answer and taken care of. Kudos to Heather!!
    K.K. - Patient
  • I have been coming to the Minnesota Women's Care clinic for the past 3 years, I have seen many of the wonderful doctor's here and it's been nothing but a positive experience. I am now enrolled in a program with Dr. Ashford that I have been a part of for the last 2 months. Everyone involved in this program has been exceptional! I will admit that the wait is occasionally been a little longer than I wanted but it is always been worth the wait. Dr. Ashford and his team have always been there to listen, and help with any issues I have had. I have never felt rushed or not listened to, I always feel that all my questions and concerns are taken care of.

    The HCG program has been tough at times but very rewarding. I have dropped almost 2 sizes in less than two months, Dr. Ashford and Courtney have been amazing through out my entire experience. Courtney has been life changing, I have learned so much that I will take with me always! Thank you both so much for a rewarding and much needed experience!

  • Wonderful experience! Highly recommend Dr. Ashford! Love coming to see Dr. Ashford and his nurses. They go above and beyond with their patients. I always leave with a smile on my face.
    Anon - Patient
  • Where do I begin with expressing my love for this clinic and its staff? My care here started with Dr. Erin, the chiropractor for MN Women's Care. She has never made me feel like another patient. [...] After several visits with Erin, she directed me to see Ilana for some issues I was having. Ilana has been my rock throughout this pregnancy and I refer her to anyone I know who has hormone, fertility, any GYN concerns and for OB care. I don't think there are enough words to express my gratitude I have for Ilana, she's truly incredible.
    A.S. - Patient
  • Dr.Kelly got me through two very difficult pregnancies. I had complications that were scary and painful for me, but she made them so much easier to go through it. She spoke very clearly to me, made sure I understood everything and that I was well taken care of. She listened to my concerns and helped me find the right answer for me. There was a time that I had to be seen right away and even though she wasn't in the office that day, she came right in. I have never had a doctor more reliable. I don't know how I would have done it without her.
    A.R. - Patient
  • Dr. Ashford is very easy to talk to. He will listen and respond with understandable terms. I highly recommend him.
    Patient - St. Paul
  • Excellent Care! Rachel Snell is very kind, thorough and professional in all her medical care at Minnesota Women's Care. I know I can always ask any question and get an informed and honest answer. Always the best!

  • I could not have asked for a better surgeon or care team.
    Bianca - Minnesota
  • Amazing staff! They listen to your issues and address them. Super kind and caring. Also, very knowledgeable! love Dr. Myer!
    S.B. - Patient
  • We had just recently moved back to Minnesota in May of 2018, because we were expecting our second little boy and our realator is actually the one who recommended MWC to me. Our first birth was a little traumatic for our family and he ended up in a c-section. So, when I got to MWC and initially met with Rachel Gates (CNM), there was a lot of reassurance, encouragement and support through that appointment. Being a type 1 diabetic, I wasn't sure that they would want to take on a high risk pregnancy, but instead they were more than supportive and ready for the road ahead.

    [...] The whole staff at MWC is so nice, they get to know you and treat you and your family with such respect and kindness. If you have any need, I would recommend MWC as your place to go. MWC is the only place I will be going to during future pregnancies.
    P.R. - Patient
  • Dr. Myer is an incredible doctor! I recently had surgery with Dr. Myer and she has been amazing through the entire process. From diagnosis, making a care plan, pre-op and post-op she has listened to my concerns, is detailed in her explanations of things, and has been so incredibly caring! She has been such a blessing and I highly recommend her!
    L.Z. - Patient
  • My experience with Dr. Ashford has been absolutely amazing. I've seen many physician's for my problem and this is the first time I feel that someone has listened and offered options/solutions versus being dismissive. I feel like I'm finely on the right path. I would highly recommend Dr. Ashford!
    Anon - Patient

  • I just wanted to let you know our baby twins are doing awesome! I will never forget you. You saved my life and my twins lives, especially Olivia. You were such a blessing in our lives and I want you to know I really don't think we would be here without you. I hope you are well!
    Sarah - St. Paul
  • Dr. Kelly is one of the best ob/gyns I have ever worked with! Her knowledge is amazing and her personality is even better! Dr. Kelly gives great suggestions for dealing with any questions or concerns that I have, and she knows the latest medical treatments. I trusted her completely with my prenatal care and the delivery of my twins 7 years ago. Now I continue to see her yearly because she is so personable and takes great care of me.
    Anon - Patient
  • Wonderful and caring staff. Doctors there are brilliant. I have never felt better!!!!!
    K.W. - Patient
  • Finally Found a Dr. that listens to me as an individual. I have unique pelvic issues and Dr. Ashford is helping me along the road to recovery. Finally someone that doesn't just practice cookie cutter medicine. Everyone there is nice an helpful. I love that the nurses answer the phone and usually don't have to wait for answers to questions. Well worth the drive. I understand having to wait to be seen because all his patients have their needs met.
    Rhonda - Minnesota
  • I love going to the MN Women's Care clinic and Dr. Ashford is the best of the best that there is! He is very caring, knowledgeable and very passionate about what he does.

    Dr. Ashford delivered my soon in 2009 and when I found out he had his own clinic in 2013 I just had to have him as my doctor again for my second child and third child. His team is so amazingly wonderful and very friendly and I love that you can just chit chat about things you have in common with them or everyday life. I have recommended this clinic and Dr. Ashford to all of my family and friends. The facility is beautiful and very clean! Wait time and scheduling was excellent when they first opened and as time went on they became busier as a growing clinic and wait time and scheduling was some times longer and further out which is understandable as a growing clinic, but I called towards the end of Dec. 2017 and couldn't get in to see anyone until the end of Jan 2017 which I just think is too long of a wait to see someone. Overall I wouldn't go anywhere else, but here. I really appreciate what Dr. Ashford has done here for all Women and thank you to his family for sharing him with the world!

  • I came to MN Womens Care in desperate need of help. Dr Crabb was the first doctor to really listen to me, to hear my complex symptoms and work on solutions. He is an excellent surgeon who gave me back my body from the adhesions and endometriosis scars that had developed over many years. I credit Dr Crabb and his staff for giving me the best experience I have had with the medical profession in years. Thank you.
    D.C. - Patient
  • I received Femilift treatments at your clinic. I have never had such a wonderful experience at any medical facility in my life. I was listened to, heard, respected, and treated with such absolutely professionalism and caring. I can't say enough positive things! I will be (and have been) referring you to anyone I can.
    S.S. - Minnesota
  • Dr. Erin is always more than willing to take the time to explain things to you so that you understand what it is she is working on with you. I have never felt rushed-even when she is busy. She makes it a priority check in and see how things are going since she saw you last and is always giving ways to achieve improvement in your health. All around I think Dr. Erin is an exceptional provider.
    Anon - Patient
  • I wasn't sure what to expect given that this was my first time ever meeting with a chiropractor and meeting someone for my pregnancy sciatica pain that I've had my last pregnancy as well. But Erin has made me feel really comfortable and made it easy for me to trust her with my body. She thoroughly explains what she is doing so I don't become alarmed and also in a way that I understand. Overall, it's been a great experience!

  • Sotto Pelle is a miracle. I had been suffering severe menopausal symptoms for years. Overnight, my hot flashes were gone, I was sleeping again, enjoying sex again, just feeling great all around, after feeling absolutely miserable for years. Even my joints have quit hurting. I am constantly recommending this to women I catch frantically fanning themselves. It truly made my quality of life so much better, I want to share this miracle treatment.
    M.B. - Patient
  • Ilana is the Best! I am in such good hands in Ilana's care. She listens, takes my concerns seriously, is willing to adapt to my needs, and works to find the very best treatment tailored to me. More than that, she is kind, patient, and fun.

  • Dr. Ashford and staff are absolutely top-notch. He treated several conditions I had with excellent results and corrected some mistakes other physicians had made. I didn't have to to go Mayo although I had thought about it. I found exactly what I needed at MN Women's Care. No matter what your condition, don't hesitate. Make the call for an appointment. You won't be disappointed.

    Being an older woman like me doesn't mean we have to go through life ashamed, hopeless, or even ignorant about our own bodies. Dr. Ashford and staff treat women who have lots of different issues. They restore hope, dignity and make life full of possibilities again for things you may have thought were hopeless. I am so happy I go there for treatment.
    J.C. - Patient
  • My experience with Dr Ashford has been very positive in getting me back to good health after my surgery. I have had two surgeries with him and good results. Dr Ashford and nurses are a great team in providing healthy experience. Rachael, Andrea have done the uroystem treatment with me great success along with others that have assisted. I love Women's Care and have referred others to the clinic. Very helpful and supportive. Thanks.
    S.A. - Patient
  • I was at my wits end with the effects of menopause. Low energy, weight gain, zero sex drive, you name it. I did some research on BHRT [bioidentical hormone replacement therapy], then found that MN Women's Care could treat me with SottoPelle. It has been such a relief! I feel like myself again. Dr. Ashford takes his time to explain everything, and is very gentle with the treatment. The staff is friendly, patient and supportive.
    N.M. - Minnesota
  • I've been going to Women's Care for a long time now, and all my experiences have been great. Andrea and Dr. Ashford have been very skilled and answered all my questions. I always feel well taken care of when I visit there, and any time I have questions I'm able to have them answered fully. Definitely recommend this clinic! I drive 20+ miles for this clinic and it's worth it.
    M.W. - Minnesota
  • Dr. Ashford is the best! Being a doctor that is both a gynecologist and an urologist he has been able to help me solve all of my issues, not just some of them. Even when I was questioning what was going on, he has remained calm and has always had a plan. He also has explained everything in a way that I could understand.

  • Dr. Amy Kelly has been our OB-GYN for the past 8 years and my husband and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is a highly skilled and competent practitioner and surgeon. We have recommended her countless times to friends and family, whether it be for OB services or to have surgery, and never once has she disappointed. Whether it is a highly complex surgical procedure or the attentive care needed during pregnancy, Dr. Kelly exceeds expectations in all that she does.
    S.D. - Patient

  • Today I saw Dr. Crabb and the visit was phenomenal. He was attentive and responsive to my every question or statement of need. He was competent, sharp, and along with a rapid diagnosis of my problem helped me address and resolve other issues that were outside of the purpose of my original need. Thank you, Dr. Crabb.
    M.B. - Patient
  • After finding out from my prior doctor that was in need of a hysterectomy due to a large fibroid, I searched for second opinions. This led me to Dr. Ashford. There was no question in my mind after our first visit that he was the right choice. The staff and Dr. Ashford have been discreet, kind and thorough. I will highly recommend Dr. Ashford and his office to any woman who has concerns or is looking for a doctor. Thank you!

I feel like I am very well taken care of and I would highly recommend Dr. Ashford to any woman.

  • Dr. Ashford is a brilliant and kind physician. It's worth the wait to see him. After some years of pelvic pain, he put me on a path of therapy and treatment that has ultimately totally alleviated it completely. His expertise is invaluable and I hope more doctors can be influenced by his advanced and wholistic approach to women's care.
    C.K. - Patient

  • Dr. Waschbusch is the absolute best! I don't think I have ever had a physician listen as well and be as empathetic to my concerns. She has the best bedside manner and her focus is really on you as a whole person and how she can help you. I would recommend her to anyone at any stage of life, she is truly wonderful!
    M.B. - Patient
  • Amazing. I came here in January and had to submit several labs/physical appointments to have the pellet therapy. It was all worth it, I had to come in for a booster and now on my regular regime as of today. I feel so much better, more energy, focus, happiness, I have a increased libido! Yay. Won't go without it. Thank you! I have never felt rushed.

  • From February 2013 to November 2013, I worked with Dr. Ashford's staff with use of the In-Tone device to strengthen my pelvic floor muscles. It was a very good experience, and I still use the device. This is a great alternative to try for bladder leakage.
    P.R. - Minnesota
  • This is the place to be for top notch women's health care. The staff is amazing and truly care about your needs and concerns. Having had the pleasure of working with all the core staff during my pregnancy I must say that it was the best experience I could have hoped for.

  • I received excellent care from Dr. Ashford and nurses to provide treatment for ongoing excessive bleeding. I underwent an endometrial ablation procedure, which was quick and relatively easy. Since the procedure, I've had no problems, no pain, and no bleeding. Dr. Ashford's team was professional and caring and helped me to feel comfortable.
    T.G. - Minnesota
  • Dr. Ashford makes sure to give multiple perspectives on any issue and is pro individual. He and the staff are of the highest quality and would strongly recommend the facility to any expecting couple.
    A.L. - Minnesota

  • Love this clinic! This is the first clinic where i feel heard. I can tell them i don't feel sick but i just don't feel great and i don't feel like myself and they get it! They listen and understand the female body and all the hormonal challenges etc.

  • I first met Dr. Mahan 12 years ago. I came with my sister to one of her appointments, and I got to announce to both of them that I was expecting my first child. She has since delivered all four of my children. She is absolutely wonderful! She is more than a doctor to me, she is a beloved member of our family and we are so grateful! She is warm and genuine and makes you feel super comfortable. Her excitement in the delivery room is contagious - you would think it was her first delivery by her joy each and every time! I highly recommend her to all of my friends.
    K. A. - Patient
  • I love coming here. As soon as I walk in there is always a warm welcome and I am greeted by first name. The environment is very friendly and family oriented. The best treatment I have received in years.

  • I have had incredible results working with Dr. Ashford and his staff. Before meeting with him I had been dealing with severe pelvic pain for over two years. Most doctors, even specialists, did not know how to reduce my pain level. I had tried many therapies and nothing had worked until I met Dr. Ashford. After a few months working with him and his therapy and medication treatment I have seen a dramatic improvement with my symptoms. These people really know what they are doing and are patient and compassionate enough to take the time to listen and explore the many options that can help you. I highly recommend you give Minnesota Women's Care a chance to help you feel your best!

  • Please send my sincere thanks to Heather for taking me seriously this morning, for treating me with respect and care, and also send a thank you to whoever scheduled my last-minute appointment at St. John's! Care like this is why I will keep coming back to your clinic.

  • Minnesota Women's Care offers very extensive care for every woman and their needs. The facility is always clean. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I myself go weekly for Urostym treatment for my Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. This treatment has been very beneficial for me. Dr. Ashford is so knowledgeable about every aspect of a women's body. I would HIGHLY recommend him to every woman.
    E.B. - Minnesota
  • I had an awesome experience with Rachel Snell. I was in for my annual visit. I had many concerns concerning previous abnormal paps, birth control options and thyroid symptoms. Rachel was prompt, open to discuss options and informed me about benefits and risks of those options. She made me feel comfortable and has excellent bedside manner.
    Anon - Patient
  • Very nice atmosphere, people are wonderful. All questions answered and they take their time with you.
    P.C. - Patient
  • Staff is just wonderful! And Dr. Ashford is a great listener and takes time with clients instead of rushing in and out of the room. I love this place! I have never been more comfortable at a gynecologist before.
    R.F. - Minnesota
  • Dr. Mahan is very kind and understanding, I felt very comfortable under her care for me and my twins. She helped answer all my questions and made me feel like I was in good hands. I was supposed to have a c-section because my babies were breech but at 37 weeks they finally turned and it was a successful vaginal delivery. She took great care of me in the operating room.
    P.D.L - Patient
  • They are awesome at his clinic .. and he did a very good job on my hysterectomy. And after care. He fixed my life...thanks.
    J.A. - Minnesota
  • I love Dr. Ashford and his staff. They are truly amazing. I am so grateful for him - he restored my health all around as a woman. I don't have the words to describe how pleased with his services. Thank you Dr. Ashford you're the best!
    N.M. - Minnesota
  • I really like my provider Dr Ashford and his partners. The front desk staff always greets you with a smile and a warm welcome the facility is always clean and location is assessable if taking a bus. Scheduling and wait times are good if can't get in with primary you are always offered to see someone else. My treatment has always been excellent and geared to benefits my needs at the time. With that being said I need to call to schedule an appointment. Thank you.
    C.C. - Patient
  • Dr Kelly is always ready to connect with me. Dr Kelly takes the time to make sure all of my questions are answered and needs are met.
    E.H. - Patient
  • My experience with Dr. Ashford and MWC has been excellent. Dr. Ashford always listens to what I have to say and I always feel that he is carefully considering what is best for me with my unique set of symptoms. I have every confidence in him. In addition, his staff is always responsive to my needs and questions.
    B.C. - Patient
  • I was hit with a few major diagnoses at once and didn't realize how much it could effect women's health overall. There were times where I had honestly given up on the possibility of being without pain until Dr. Ashford had instilled in me that women don't have to just exist with it.

    Dr. Ashford is the most honest and thoughtful provider I've ever worked with. He explains decision making with clarity and ease without making you feel overwhelmed or small. I'm someone with a boat load of anxiety and Dr. Ashford and the team here at MNWC are truly sensitive to my needs and want to see their patients reach their wellness goals. I'm beyond thankful and wish I could begin to describe the kind of gratitude that comes with that but for now I'd just say thank you so much!
    Anon - Patient
  • I'm so glad I am a patient at the best clinic in the world with the best OBs ever. They delivered both of my children (one who will be 9 tomorrow) and soon to be a 3rd child....I followed them from Allina to Dr. Ashford's clinic and so happy I did!
