This was my first time seeing Dr. Ashton and he was SO good! Very informative/kind. He didn't talk fast and made sure we understood everything. He is a fantastic physician, and you can tell he really cares about his patients as well making sure the parents understand what he is saying. We need more physicians like Dr. Ashton, it radiates that he is in the right profession and loves his job.
