“NP Ashleigh was highly recommended to me by a friend and i felt so grateful for her referral after i had my appointment. Ashleigh took the time to meet with me in her office before the actual exam to go over my concerns and history. Her exam was thorough and she made every effort to keep me as comfortable as possible during the exam. Even more impressive to me was that I forgot to follow up with a medication refill request and an order request for a bone density test until the day after my appointment. I’m a bit forgetful. The office staff was very helpful and pleasant and passed on the request to Ashleigh and she followed up immediately. I received the order by email and my meds were filled immediately. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with a new doctor and her office staff. ”

About Ashleigh Pinedo
Ashleigh N. Pinedo is a certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a master’s degree in nursing. She spent nine years as a registered nurse at Hoag Hospital in Orange County, where she learned to treat patients with the highest quality of care, safety, and compassion.
Ashleigh Pinedo joined Dr. Yu’s practice in 2020 to assist him with surgery and offer general gynecological services. She meets with patients for annual exams, diagnoses gynecological concerns, and recommends treatment options. Ashleigh has training and experience assisting with both invasive and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery procedures. She chose to join Dr. Yu’s practice because she agrees with his philosophy of performing surgery only when necessary. Like Dr. Yu, Ashleigh prioritizes less invasive options where possible.
Throughout her nine years of experience as a registered nurse in a hospital setting, Ashleigh learned what hospital outpatient care tends to miss. Her goal is to prevent issues and keep her patients healthy enough that they never need to visit her former hospital. Her experience in hospital bedside care helped her become an empathetic and understanding medical provider. It also provided her with a depth of knowledge, training, and expertise on gynecological issues that most general physicians and nurse practitioners do not have. Ashleigh’s favorite part of the job is developing long-term relationships with her patients. She enjoys seeing patients year after year and creating a comfortable environment for them to discuss their concerns. It is important to her that women feel safe coming to her about any issue, big or small. No concern is too small or peculiar for her to address and treat with care and empathy.
Ashleigh enjoys keeping fit. She attends Pilate’s classes regularly and stays active. She also enjoys classic literature and usually has at least one book waiting to be read.

Came to this practitioner as my old doctor was too busy. It's nice to get an appointment in short notice and changed due to conflict with zero frustration. The staff is knowledgeable, so it was reassuring even before the actual practitioner visit. Had all my issues addresss and was told to come back if meds are not right. Happy patient!

Ashleigh was so friendly and reassuring when my past experience with an OB left me disheartened. The staff was super friendly and the office was very nice and clean. Everything was super efficient but they also reassured that I had all the time in the world if I needed it. Will 1000% be back.
