Dr. Ashford has always been professional, yet approachable! He has an EXCEPTIONAL bedside manner, I'm a retired Nurse, that's a quality I am very familiar with and I GREATLY appreciate! He LISTENS & allows me to have input into my health care decisions!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. William Ashford, M.D. I pray as his practice grows, he doesn't loose his ability to freely be "himself" & show compassion to his patient's!! He's a breath of fresh air to this retired Nurse! I wasn't sure there were any physicians/surgeons with his qualities still around!! Thank you Dr. Ashford for caring!
