Dr. Ashong immediately put me at ease with her kindness and clarity. She took the time to explain her entire diagnostic process, detailing everything from uterine scraping to ultrasound options.What I appreciated most was that she used actual images to walk me through the conversation, making the information so much easier to digest. She was incredibly gracious in answering every single one of my questions and never made me feel rushed. Also, The staff was so kind and welcoming.

She was so quick. She literally dint showed any care or empathy towards me or directed me to right direction. I had persistent cough since 2-3 weeks and I mentioned about it to her . Instead of telling me the treatment plan she said visit your urgent care. I am coming to Emory to be taken care of and not to be redirected to urgent care. All the obgyn I met at Emory , have put me in a state of mind of whether I chose the right care giver or not.

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. :)

Dr. Ashong should teach a course on how to meet & greet new patients. Her approach from knocking on the door, waiting for a response and asking to come in was exceptional. To our discussion of my visit, concerns, body changes, etc. She was more than knowledgeable, she imparted knowledgeable and wisdom that I could use after my visit. Her standard of excellence, care and compassion showed. And last, she was gentle and made the exam as smooth as possible. Thank you for being kind and caring!
