    Dr. Ashong was very apologetic about the delay, and she spent a good amount of time reviewing my health history with me. When I told her my health concerns, she listened with curiosity, asked clarifying questions, and walked me through various treatment options. I walked out of the office with prescriptions, finally feeling heard by a medial professional. Dr. Ashong was thorough and kind, and she connected with me.

    I love Dr. Ashong (this is my second pregnancy seeing her). It seems like she tends to run later than some of the other doctors, but I suspect it's because she actually spends the time with her patients that they need, instead of rushing things. So maybe she could be allowed more time for appnts so she doesn't get so backed up? I think she's great and worth the wait, but still wish I didn't have to wait. :)
