My visit with Ashley Popadics, PA-C at St. Alphonsus Family Medicine was a reminder of what great care looks like. She took the time to listen—not just to check a box, but to truly understand where I was coming from. Her questions were thoughtful, her explanations clear, and her presence calm and steady. I never felt rushed or overlooked. Instead, I felt like I had a partner in the room—someone who took both the science and the human side of medicine seriously. What impressed me just as much was the follow-through. The after-visit summary was well done—clear, helpful, and easy to reference. MyChart made it simple to stay informed and engaged after I walked out the door. That kind of attention to detail, that respect for the patient’s time and well-being—it all adds up. I left feeling cared for, informed, and confident about the path forward. I’m grateful for that, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ashley to anyone looking for not just good care, but the kind of care that earns your trust.

Highly professional and very good at making me feel comfortable enough to ask questions, express concerns. She is extremely knowledgeable, answered questions, and explained things to me in a straightforward, nonpatronizing way. She is an extraordinary medical professional. As good as it gets.

Ashley Popadics is an outstanding health care professional. Please excuse me, but she ABSOLUTELY knows her s**t.. maybe the most comprehensive wellness exam I’ve ever had. Absolutely listened to my concerns, answered my questions completely, without patronizing me in the slightest. Ashley Popadics is as good as it gets.

From the outset, my visit with Ashley Popadics was marked by clarity, composure, and quiet competence. She entered the room with a calm presence and set the tone—not through unnecessary small talk or artificial warmth, but with a focused, intentional approach that conveyed, “Your time matters. So does your health. Let’s get this right.”She led with questions—not the kind that simply populate a chart, but the kind that demonstrate pattern recognition and professional judgment. She was listening for signals, not just symptoms. That matters. In any high-stakes environment—military, corporate, or medical—success is rarely about reacting to the obvious. It’s about detecting early indicators, reading the context, and making timely decisions. That’s exactly what I saw in Ashley’s approach. She knew when to ask, when to listen, and when to shift from analysis to action.What I appreciated most was that she didn’t treat this as a transactional encounter. She treated it like a shared mission. There was no passive language. She used phrases like, “Here’s what we’re going to monitor,” and “Let’s keep an eye on this.” That subtle shift from you to we signals accountability, mutual investment, and leadership. I’ve worked with commanders, CEOs, and front-line soldiers—and the ones I trust the most are the ones who don’t flinch from responsibility and don’t overstate what they can control. Ashley hit that mark.The result? I left not only with practical next steps, but also with confidence—in her judgment, her process, and the fact that my care isn’t just in competent hands, but in deliberate, disciplined ones. She doesn’t just know the science—she leads with it.

Ashley is a great doctor. She truly cares for her patients

I really appreciate the care Ashley provides. She takes the time to listen and genuinely cares.

Totally professional informative and concerned for my wellbeing her bedside manner was awesome made me feel so comfortable. She’s a keeper!

Total professional care.

Very pleased!

This best I've seen at this location!

Kind and thorough

Otherwise treatment was good

A very through and detailed oriented practitioner who notices subtle things and takes time to explain relevant treatments including the possibility of minor side effects. Excepting my past orthopedics doctor, she is in a class by herself compared with my previous managed care providers. (I'm 73, so there is a lot of history in that regard). Highly recommended.
