Reviews

Here at One Ashford Hospital, we are always pleased to hear what our patients think of the service they have received.  Below is a snapshot of the some of the excellent feedback received for Mr Ashish Shrestha.

I continue to appreciate the life-saving surgery you performed on my wife 12 months ago. She now healthy and fully recovered. We are both well and are enjoying a beautiful spring time in Northwest Florida.

You looked after me brilliantly and am so grateful for the attention you gave me. I want to give massive hug as you were so lovely.

I felt very safe under your care and appreciate all you have done. You have a wonderful team and they all cheered me up when they visited.

I had surgery carried out by Mr Shrestha, fully successful with everything reconnected and working well. The care and attention from Mr Shrestha cannot be faulted.
