Dr. William Ashford is a top-notch, quality Orthopedic surgeon. He's caring, compassionate and easy to talk to. Great bedside manner. His Radiology Tech, Olivia, is FANTASTIC!!! She's old school and I mean that in the most respectful way. No rush, calm, explains exactly what she needs you to do for the xray, providing you ample time to get yourself in said position and then takes the xray. She too is professional, yet warm, welcoming and understanding! Which is a blessing when you're in pain, scared and anxious of what you may be about to be facing when it comes to your health! Olivia is a tremendous asset to this practice, she works at the Athens office. Take this advice from an older, retired Nurse, schedule your appointment with Dr. Ashford today and if you need x-rays, I have no doubt Olivia will treat you with all the patience and understanding those of us suffering with daily pain and discomfort deserve!
