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!

Dr. Mahan always has time to listen. There are many things I appreciate about Dr. Mahan but one that is very important to me is that I never feel rushed thru my appointments. She always takes her time to listen and is always present.

Ilana Farb is excellent, kind, relatable. Ilana has a joyful, welcoming personality. She listens well and makes me feel empowered. I feel so much better since I began seeing Ilana. This feeling effects more than my sex life, it effects life itself.

Dr. Ashford was very thorough and listened to my concerns. He explained all my options and made me feel comfortable. He asked if I had any questions and took the time to answer them.

Worth driving from Golden Valley to see! I initially brought my teenage daughter to see CNP Farb on a referral and have continued to come see her because of her exceptional professionalism, knowledge, skill, and kindness. She is attentive not only to my daughter's medical needs and privacy, but also to my concerns as a mother. She is an asset to this clinic and we will continue to come here as long as she is here.

Erin is so caring and great at what she does! She has been adjusting me for a while and I have never had a bad experience! She is always so caring and has definitely helped with making both chronic and acute pain feel better! I am so grateful for all she has done and would highly recommend her!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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
Dr. Laure Waschbusch has been my gynecologist for over 15 years. She is simply the best! She listens, takes time to answer every question, and addresses any concerns. I always feel informed and educated when I leave. She is also very pleasant and easy to be with. Talking with her is like talking with a good friend.
