Patients at Fishtown Medicine describe unhurried visits, clear communication, and a doctor who actually reads their records. Members value same-day access, deep listening, and a proactive approach that connects labs, lifestyle, and goals into one coherent plan.
The clearest measure of a medical practice is the experience of the people in it. Members of Fishtown Medicine often arrive after years of "surface-level" care. Once inside, they describe feeling heard, supported, and finally able to plan ahead instead of react.
What do patients say about Fishtown Medicine?
"When I sent Dr. Ash my medical history, it turned out to be 300 pages, and never in a million years did I think he would read all 300 pages, ask me specific questions, and provide structured feedback, which he did! He is extremely timely in communication as well as extremely supportive."
- Katie D.
"Because of the extremely quick turnaround and him being in the neighborhood, we got our flu tests done the same day and were able to get tamiflu an hour later. If you're a parent you can appreciate what a relief this was to the entire household."
- Kasia F.
"After two long years of searching for a new Integrative/Functional medicine doctor since my previous one retired, I can honestly say he was worth the wait. Dr. Ash approaches healthcare with a deep compassion, focusing on understanding the root causes of issues rather than just treating symptoms."
- Morgen P.
"Dr. Ash is the kind of person you know is looking out for you as a person. You're never a number to him. It's hard to picture a situation where you have to place greater trust in someone else to do the right thing."
- Aaron L.
"Dr. Ash has a very modern and holistic approach to medicine that is science-based with a preventative focus. His services are convenient and I found the pricing to be sensible."
- Spencer T.
