My extended family began going to Dr. Ashley about a year ago...wish I hadn't waited to follow their lead! I was able to get an appointment quickly and was very pleased with the staff, atmosphere and overall experience! (called my dentist of 26 years on 6.28.2011 - they said it would AFTER the first of the new year before they could book me!) I've heard that from others that go to the larger dental offices and decided it was time for a change. Glad I did!!
