At Hygeia Gynecology, her private clinical practice in Englewood, New Jersey, Dr. Ashton has emphasized a return to old-school medicine with a new-age approach. As an Ob-Gyn, she enjoys the daily contact with women of all ages at various critical points in their lives. “I can deliver a baby, treat an adolescent with painful periods, a 50 year-old with hot flashes and diagnose cancer all in the same day. This field encompasses endocrinology, psychiatry, surgery, oncology and infectious diseases all wrapped up in one specialty.” Many of her adult patients are the mothers of her teenage patients, who embrace Dr. Ashton’s relatable approach and welcome her up-to-date medical knowledge and her un-hurried approach to healthcare.
