Very concerned and strait forward. I really appreciated her knowledge.

05/09/2025

Ashley always takes the time to really listen and to help me make the right decisions. I appreciate her.

04/28/2025

Ashley really took her time with me and didn't make me feel rushed. Great bed side manners!!

04/25/2025

Ashley Brewster, NP is very knowledgeable and works hard to determine the correct type of med for your migraine. With new options available, she gets all of your information to make the best choice for you. I appreciate her and highly recommend this practice!

04/22/2025

Ashley Brewster afforded us all the time we needed to discuss anything and everything. She provided caring and compassionate feedback as she did her memory care evaluation, made a few changes to routine and meds, and also spoke about what to expect in the near future. Thank you, Ashley!

04/17/2025

Ashley listens and is very knowledgeable. She made me feel at ease at my appointment.

04/03/2025

Ashley M Brewster went above and beyond with me over my health concerns thank you so much Michael

03/21/2025

Ashley made me feel welcome and comfortable at my appointment. She was professional but had a wonderful personality! 😊 The check in staff were great and everything was efficient!

02/13/2025

Ashley is always a pleasure to speak with.

02/11/2025

Ashley took her time and was very informative and understanding in a time that was scary and uncertain for me. She made me feel listened to, cared for and understood while also asking lots of questions to try and make a better diagnosis. I'm definitely going to continue to use her and recommend her to anyone who has a need.

02/09/2025

I last saw you March 2024, my recertification is every six months. I received notification time to recertify. Why would you resubmit in August 2024 vs in September 2024, when I do not see you again until March 2025? Considering you've filled out forms many times, as you stated. Retaliation is not Professional, and if you're not going to honestly assist me, as the retired Robinson recommended, then I'd rather see someone with the Compassion to assist me. As of today, I have gotten worse, hips and knees. Thanks much on the consideration.

02/02/2025

I met with Ashley Brewster last week and it was so enlightening and beneficial. She was a joy to talk with. My journey with neurology is just beginning but meeting with her was an excellent start.

01/23/2025

Dr Ashley Brewster was amazing. We discussed the things I am dealing with and we now have a plan

01/17/2025

Very engaged, didn't feel rushed. Made me a partner in decisions on treatment.

01/16/2025

My husband goes to Ashley. She is very good with him. She always is looking for things to change that might work for him, He has dementia so can be difficult at times. I am very satisfied with Ashley.

01/13/2025

Ashley Brewster is an Amazing A.P.R.N. I was skeptical at first as my regular Neurologist took a higher position at a different hospital. Ashley knows my history and keeps it real 100% of the time! She keeps me informed of my diagnosis, meds, and any interactions that could interfere with my seizure meds. THANK YOU ASHLEY!! 🙂

01/06/2025

Ashley was honest, trusting and kind. W

12/27/2024

An excellent experience! Ashley was very attentive, showed patience and listened to my concerns. She was very informative and made me feel comfortable. She is a fantastic nurse practitioner, and I was very happy with my experience!

12/24/2024

It was very good appointment. Ashley was very informative and had a very caring persona. We felt very positive when we left.

12/20/2024

Ashley is knowledge and understanding. She takes the time to listen and explains herself in ways that are easy to understand. I have many medical issues and see several doctors and nurse practitioners regularly in my skilled nursing center. Ashley rates at the top of the list, by providing some of the highest level of medical care I receive. She is a gift!!!

12/19/2024

Dr. Brewster is the best and listens to you

12/16/2024

I was in and out in a very timely fashion for this appointment. I have never been left waiting in the exam room and Ashley really sits a talks with me about my condition. What's working, what's not. This office is do easy to deal with in person and over the phone. I recently had to change insurance providers and chose my new plan based on if Ashley Brewster was on it. Love her!

12/10/2024

Very nice, listen to me,had read my file before I came so had time to discuss a treatment plan.

11/29/2024

Outstanding patient care

11/29/2024

My first visit with Ashley & I couldn’t be any happier. I was very reluctant to have a new provider yet her knowledge, professionalism and great listening skills over shadowed any of my concerns.

11/26/2024

Very attentive, offered more than one option to try for my issue. Personable, down to earth. Would highly recommend!

11/25/2024

Ashley seen well educated regarding the sleep apnea we talked about. And left me feeling she could help my situation.

11/15/2024

Ashley Brewster is amazing. She hears me and actually listens.

11/12/2024

Thank you so much Ms Brewster for always being not only patient but very kind. I'm grateful that you always break things down with great understanding. I pray that your career does nothing but expand with great success.

11/05/2024

Takes time and explains everything well

11/01/2024

Dr. Brewster is an amazing person. She explained in detail the treatment plan and wanted to hear my concerns. I truly couldn’t be happier.

10/29/2024

My doctor retired and I was having some issues. She was quite informative and listened to me very well

10/22/2024

She was detailed, organized, responsive, and understanding of my concerns. While I still need more expensive tests, they were clearly explained and options were given. Can't ask for more than that.

10/12/2024

This was my initial meeting with Ashley, and she came prepared having read my background and premeeting data screening. Her exam was meticulous and thorough. She explained how side effects that I’m having may be alleviated by changing my drug dosing schedule and sleep and energy levels may be improved. She reviewed my history and hospital stay to point out needs for additional therapy for improved recovery. She is obviously dedicated to her patients, very intelligent, and focused on best outcomes for her patients.

09/30/2024

She takes her time with you which means a lot to me! Answers all questions that need answered! Very happy to have met her! Made me feel better!

09/24/2024

This was possibly the best consultation I have ever experienced! She was thorough and cared about my well-being. I feel I have real understanding of my condition!

09/09/2024

She took the time to listen to me. I really appreciate that.

09/06/2024

The most inept facility. Complete lack of communication and unwilling to help those in need.

09/04/2024

Everyone here is nice. Ashley has listened to me and not just told me what to do (or that there’s no hope), but is helping me reduce my meds a littler at a time! (I’m hoping that this will last!!!)

08/29/2024

Not concerned with helping me get better, only promotes her Knowledge, according to the Office Administrative. Too judgemental and assumptions or controlling. Decides when pain comes and goes; does not treat accordingly to why referred there in the first place. They much rather prefer to say, "find another place to go, if don't like it." Not acceptable and does not honor their oath to provide. Lastly, revisiting eight months-one year later, IS NOT an effective trusted PATH OF CARE! "Pain can be expressed in many ways, including facial expressions, body language, and other behaviors: Facial expressions Frowning, grimacing, wincing, eye tightening or closing, distorted facial expressions, and rapid blinking Body language Writhing or shifting in bed, moaning, groaning, or whimpering, restlessness, agitation, appearing uneasy and tense, drawing legs up or kicking, guarding the area of pain, or withdrawing from touch to that area Other behaviors Crying, resistance to care, reduced social interactions, increased wandering, not eating, and sleeping problems Pain can also be described in different ways, depending on the type of pain: Chronic pain People with chronic pain may describe their pain as aching, burning, shooting, squeezing, stiffness, stinging, or throbbing. Chronic pain can also lead to other symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, and mood swings. Neuropathic pain This type of pain is often described as burning, tingling, shooting, or like electric shocks. Conditions that can cause neuropathic pain include diabetic neuropathy, shingles, and sciatica. Visceral pain This type of pain can be accompanied by other symptoms, such as nausea or vomiting, as well as changes in body temperature, heart rate, or blood pressure. Examples of conditions that can cause visceral pain include gallstones, appendicitis, and irritable bowel syndrome.

08/22/2024

I really like her. She was very nice and helpful. I would recommend her to my friends and family.

08/19/2024

Ashley was very thorough and attentive. Looked outside the box to bring me some relief and answers.

08/02/2024

Always so helpful....

07/31/2024

I went in absolutely miserable. Ashley listened to every word, even as disjointed as my conversation was and managed to follow where I was going.

07/31/2024

Very personable and responsive. 5 ⭐

07/29/2024

Ashley was very professional and made several suggestions for me to improve my care.

07/11/2024

Very passive aggressive to work with. She pretty much blamed me for cancelling my appointments even though I didn't have insurance. Put in her notes that she didn't believe what I was saying about my sicknesses. Really think it is extremely unprofessional to put in there about my jobs as well. I really think it's time to find someone with a better bedside manner and someone who doesn't make you feel stupid

06/21/2024

This was an amazing A.P.R.N full of energy and knowledge. I enjoyed her personality. She was lively and friendly and that’s what I like in humans. I look forward to having her assist with all my needs.

06/20/2024

No wait time, she asked pertinent questions, and answered my questions. Excellent provider.

06/18/2024

After 20yrs I feel like I have finally gotten a proper diagnosis!!!!!!! She made me feel important. She didn't rush me through my appointment, and she answered all of my questions!!!!!!!!

06/16/2024

Dr. Brewster is very qualified and knowledgable in her field. She is very personable and gets to know her patients well. I like her and glad she is my Neurologist

06/05/2024

Ashley is kind and always answers all of my questions thoroughly. She has raised my dosage when needed. We are happy with her.

05/07/2024

Ashley could be the most caring health care professional I’ve ever dealt with. It is obvious she loves what she does and does everything in her power to treat her patients and help them feel better. I only wish I had found her sooner.

04/29/2024

Ashley Brewster was very personable and patient. She took her time to ask me questions and listened to what I was saying. I felt very comfortable and non threatened. She was very easy to talk to and explained what we needed to do before making any diagnosis. Gave me a list of what we going to do first. She heard my physical, mental, emotional and social being. Thank you!

04/09/2024

Knowledgeable and caring.

04/05/2024

Receptionists were great and the wait was less than 5 minutes. Ashley Brewster is amazing! She listened attentively, asked questions to me, explained everything to me in detail. Best part was I felt like i could be totally open with her and not feel embarrassed. She answers all her portal emails from patients PERSONALLY too! Very happy with her as my provider.

04/04/2024

I cannot recommend Ashley Brewster enough. She is geniune and shows patients the utmost respect and is willing to go the extra mile for you. I have trigeminal neuralgia, after two years with a specialist who was not helping at KUMED, I moved to this practice and haven't looked back since!

04/03/2024

I had the pleasure of being treated by Ashley Brewster, and I can't recommend her highly enough. As a neurology physician assistant, Ashley demonstrated exceptional expertise and genuine care throughout my entire experience. Her extensive knowledge of neurological migraine conditions and medications was evident in her thorough evaluations and insightful explanations. Ashley's compassionate demeanor and attentive listening made me feel heard and valued as a patient. She took the time to address all my concerns, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed me every step of the way. I'm truly grateful for Ashley's professionalism and dedication to her patients' well-being. If you're seeking top-notch neurological care, look no further than Ashley Brewster.

03/25/2024

Very detailed with her work,and very organized . Was very much impressed with her

03/07/2024

Ashley Brewster is amazing! She’s always incredibly helpful and makes me feel like she truly cares about my pain. If I’m having more frequent migraines or need to be seen, she is always able to work me into her schedule and is never afraid to try something else if my migraine treatment is no longer working for me. Highly recommend!

02/27/2024

I have tried to get into the patient portal but can't. Ms bluster was very professional.

12/15/2023

By mistake I arrived at my 1015am appointment at 830am and they squeezed me in.

12/05/2023

I was early but that was ok because she was 15 minutes ahead of schedule. Ashley took plenty of time to answer my questions and fears.

11/20/2023

Ashley Brewster demonstrates the best of her profession with a careful and research-based discussion about relevant neurology research related to my neuropology issues. She did her homework about the research related to my condition. She asked me precise information regarding my symptoms and how I used medication related to my neuropology condition. Ashley is a trusted, and responsibly profession. I will return to see her frequently. Thank you.

11/11/2023

I didn’t have to wait long. Ashley Brewster was super nice. When she explained things she made it where I can understand.

11/02/2023

When I went to see Ms. Ashley Brewster, I explained what had been going on and how long it had been going she wasn't surprised and she knew exactly what it was that had been bothering me I'm so glad she took the time to listen to me. Not only has she helped me with my migraines but she has also helped me when I felt like all of my nerves were all on fire and to find out it was actually Fibromyalgia. Thank you so much Ashley you are a life saver!

09/13/2023

Good listener and communicator

09/01/2023

She was very easy to talk to. I was nervous about the appointment. Ashley calmed my nerves. She explained the test EMG, and what the results might be and what to do when I would get different out comes. We made a plan.

09/01/2023

I needed to re-establish since I hadn't been there in a year. Dr. Hon was not there as much now so I saw Ashley Brewster for the first time. As expected, since it is a neurology office, I had a little wait but once Miss Ashley came in she was apologetic for the wait & then got down to business. She asked questions & listened to me & my concerns. I didn't feel rushed & was treated with respect. I felt like I was going to get some answers after my testing is done.

08/11/2023

If possibly, I needed to contribute to the questions and answers

08/05/2023

Ashley Brewster, A.P.R.N. met with my mother for the first time to check in with her after 2 hospital visits. Ms. Brewster came prepared by studying my mother's charts but also by having a future game plan for her. She was helpful and really listened to us. It was refreshing to have a medical professional care in such a way and be so proactive. My elderly mother adored her.

07/25/2023

Brewster APRN has been nothing but helpful and friendly in dealing with my concerns. She's always very open about the standard procedures and why she is prescribing what medications and procedures she does.

07/21/2023

Ashley was informative, answered all my & my daughter’s questions. She set up brain testing. She called a Rx for me, a time/date was set for my next appt with her. I wish it was not as far out as next February, but she said it is difficult to get soon appts for brain testing. I left feeling that the wheels are in motion to find out what I need to know about my health.

06/26/2023

Ashley is very knowledgeable and efficient. We felt very comfortable and confident with her care. Will continue to see her.

06/12/2023

01/13/2023

I have seen 3 excellent doctors at this practice and by far Ashley Brewster, A.P.R.N. is my favorite. She is exceptionally kind, sincerely listened, asked intuitive questions, offered an array of options and engaged me in making choices and next steps about my own care. I feel seen, heard, informed and hopeful, which is not a feeling that many people with chronic issues generally feel leaving a doctors office. Highly recommend.
