Rachel Kathleen Ashby's Online Review Report Card

I've been going to Dr. Ashby's office for over a year for treatment and I've only ever seen her once for my initial consultation. Every single interaction since has been with the PA. As someone who is new to infertility, nothing is ever explained. I've spent hours on the internet trying to understand the treatment process/test results because I'm never given a clear explanation. As a patient with PCOS pursuing non-invasive options, I don't feel I am given the time or energy that more complicated patients are given. I had a traumatic loss/suspected ectopic and even then, never saw Dr. Ashby. In fact, a medical student attended to me and he was more compassionate and thorough than any other person I've seen at this practice. Dr. Ashby has also not yet advised that my partner be assessed for any male factor infertility. Definitely seeking a second opinion. If you are new to infertility, go elsewhere. This feels like a factory where you risk slipping through the cracks.

Doctor Ashby, was a amazing, she’s was really clear and honest on what do we need, her knowledge, kindness and honesty was everything for us. Thanks to God and her we have our bundle of joy with us.. Highly recommended.

When I saw Dr. Ashby, she did not ask me any questions about my symptoms. She said hello and asked me about one of my test results. She then told me she sees 5 women like me a day- presumably to make me feel better about the diagnosis that she quickly concluded. In reality, it made me feel like any of the factors in my personal medical history were irrelevant and did not play a role in her thought process. If you want someone who asks you questions about how you are feeling, your symptoms, your worries, your preferences for treatment- this is not the doctor to visit.

We used Dr. Ashby for both our pregnancies. I respected and trusted her and knew she cared about what we were going through. She is super smart and just right for my needs of "bedside manner." We went through a lot in the process and she was empathetic but direct, which I appreciated.

Very Weak leadership skill, surprisingly a social worker manage her—And this hostile social worker has more authority to make a medical decision on her patients whether or not proceed a surgery.Dr. Ashby is like a business woman but has no qualities to be a doctor. Even if you have two insurances, even you are in the medical area, she additionally charges collects cash or credit card payment of $498.00 for the initial visit and $199.00 for the follow up visits from you. In your first visit, she acts very kind and carrying—At this point, every women including myself have fallen into her trap. She treats you nicely because she knows that the hospital will send you the evalautions/feedbacks to score her after the first visit. (However, the hospital never sends a second feedback form to check the patients how satisfied with continuous care with this doctor) Not surprisingly she gets the five stars! Once she got the best feedbacks, she makes herself wall--she does not response your emails, calls. She does not care the patients at all. She has no empathy to the patients. Even something is very simple to say with one word “yes” or no” by an email or call, she ignores your calls and wastes your valued, ciritical time but make you to come her office to charge you another $199.00 and wait 2-3 months to get an appointment to learn her one word answer “yes” or “no”.I am extremely disappointed with such poor quality of doctor in the top academic hospital. I DO NOT RECOMMEND Dr. Ashby.

I came to Dr Ashby because I had multiple miscarriages after giving birth to a healthy child.I researched online to find a doctor who is specialist in handling these situations and she seemed to have great reviews. Before I try to get pregnant again I consulted with her and she ordered a bunch of tests which all came back normal, the only thing she recommended to me was taking daily dose of baby Aspirin.She repeated over and over that those consequent miscarriages were just bad luck and her "gut feeling is telling her" that I won't have any issue if I get pregnant again. She even said you should not wait to get your results back before you try to get pregnant again.Long story short, I got pregnant for the 4th time and miscarried again at week eighth.So basically she didn't find out the reason for repeated miscarriages and didn't even try to have a different approach other than regular obgyns. Just "get pregnant and wait and see what happens"was not exactly what I planned to hear from a specialst who is apparently interested in handling difficult pregnancies.

Rachel Ashby is one of the kindest and most compassionate doctors I’ve ever met. I was her patient for nearly 4 years as I struggled with repeated miscarriage and failed IVF. I got a second and third opinion both of which were wrong and her original opinion was the one that worked.

If you are looking for an OBGYN who is caring and passionate about what she does and has and specially if you are looking to solve a problem whether it is miscarriage or infertility , RUN AWAY. She acts very nice and caring at the the very beginning until she has you in her trap , during the following appointments she does not listen to you and your requests, as an example I told her I feel like I am miscarrying based on my previous experience , she ignored me and stated that " there has not been any studies that proves there is any relationship between patient's feelings and mis-happenings during pregnancy", mind it I miscarried the following week. She is only in NWH two days a weeks and if something comes up all her office offers you is giving direction to ER. They did not even want to see me while I was in miscarriage pain, around 10 am in the morning, and referred me to ER where I finally got a Morphin IV 4 hours later. Nobody called me from her office the next day to follow up . She and her office have NO EMPATHY for patients and are very UNPROFESSIONAL.

Very poor leadership skills; surprisingly a social worker manage her and make a medical decision on her patients whether or not proceed a surgery. She is like a business woman but has no qualities to be a doctor. she does not response your emails, calls. She does not care the patients at all. She has no empathy to the patients.Even something is very simple to say with one word “yes” or no” by an email or call, she ignores your calls & wastes your critical time. I don't recommend her.
