Dr. Melvin Ashford
Chief Executive Office & Medical Director
Dr. Melvin Ashford has dedicated his career to women's health and is a respected Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgeon in the Twin Cities. As one of the first physicians nationally to be board-certified in Urogynecology, he is renowned for his expertise in treating complex pelvic floor disorders.
He believes in three essential principles: "Listen. Listen. And Listen." This approach has revealed many overlooked patient concerns, such as enlarged labia, pain during intercourse, and vulvar darkening, which can significantly affect women's quality of life. Determined to provide answers, Dr. Ashford has sought expertise in cosmetic gynecology and aesthetic medicine, training with top specialists in Italy, Austria, London, Scotland, and the U.S.
His combined training in Female Pelvic Medicine and Cosmetic Gynecology, along with a keen aesthetic eye, has earned him high praise from patients. At Minnesota Women's Care, the mission is to provide women with the care they need and want—delivered professionally and without judgment—recognizing that aesthetic concerns are just as important as physical ones. This understanding led to the creation of the Spa at Minnesota Women's Care.
