Dr Ashwin provided truly exceptional care while treating my grandmother for breast cancer. Throughout the entire process he wasn’t only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate. He took the time to explain and clarify every step ensuring we felt informed. We are deeply grateful for his support and dedication.
We consulted Dr. Ashwin for my 73-year-old mother’s breast cancer surgery and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He performed a complex Level 6 Oncoplasty with incredible precision, achieving wide 3.5cm clear margins while prioritizing her aesthetic recovery. What stood out most was his balanced, patient-centric approach—collaborating with the oncology team to avoid unnecessary chemotherapy and genetic testing given her specific health history and RA. He is a brilliant surgeon who combines technical excellence with genuine empathy. Highly recommended at Aster Whitefield

Especially callout to Ms. Maria of surgical oncology and Mr. Shahidul of International Patient Desk
We went to Dr. Ashwin for my mother’s treatment for breast tumor. Dr. Ashwin helper us to understand all about the disease, he explained clearly the process of treatment, and all the options. We had multiple appointments with Dr. Ashwin to clear all our queries. With his suggestions and help we went with BCS in just 15 days of identifying the tumor. Surgery is successful and my mother is doing well.
With Dr. Ashwin we felt like some one from family is handling my mother’s treatment. He is a great Doctor and a great human being. God bless him always.
My elderly mother had to undergo a mastectomy procedure recently. We were quite anxious about selecting the right hospital and more importantly the right doctor who would be able to connect with her and explain her situation without making the whole thing look like a grave situation . we met Dr Ashwin through a known reference and were really happy with the way he dealt with my mother . He explained her ailment with a lot of clarity and also reassured her of the surgery and gave her the much needed confidence to face the coming days, given the fact that she has never had any serious health issue other than this one .
The surgery went smooth and my mother is now recovering well. , thanks so much Dr Ashwin .
I have recently visited Aster Oncology for my MIL utres removal surgery and I was very happy by the explanation from Dr Ashwin K R.

So I very much recommend Dr Ashwin for the any Cancer treatments. And the staff members Latha, Maria and Magie were very helpful through out the journey
Doctor Ashwin, clearly explained the issue and how the treatment will be done. Dr. Installed confidence to the patient.
