“I believe that I can relate to my patients, as I practice what I preach. I am helping patients to get back to living a healthier and active lifestyle. I do understand that injuries are a part of being active and have suffered and worked through several injuries myself over the years”. Outside of his practice, he enjoys running, weightlifting, nutrition, and yoga.
Dr. Ashraf is sensitive to the uniqueness of each patient’s situation and adapts his consultations and treatment options appropriately to accommodate individual needs and concerns.
