Best female doctor around.. I have used him for the birth of my children, then went back to him 25 years later for my hysterectomy. His bed side manners are next level with taken care of his patients. It's hard finding good doctors these days. Listens to your every word FIRST then He explains everthing to you so you understand whats going on. Highly Recommend

I hadn’t ever experienced labor at Wesley Merit, only Forrest General & even considered switching because of fear of the unknown for surgery, childcare, & post op care. Dr. Washburne made a scary procedure bearable! Always polite, informative, & knowledgeable. I instantly trusted his decision to not be able to deliver vaginally. I am healing well and despite my sons problem with SUA, a cesarean being safer, and my fluids dropping unexpected to cause next day delivery...I’m the happiest momma I didn’t know I could be.
Dr. your experience & medical opinion is unmatched! Thank you, forever indebted.
