    I like Dr. Asher. She gives me my Botox shots for my migraines. She’s very nice. She is short and sweet to the point she has replaced Dr. Donnie. I prefer Dr. Donnie, but I do like Dr. Asher.

    There are times she is not forthcoming in what the results of tests mean about my Nuropothy in my feet. I often have more question when I leave then when I came in.

    Because, as good as she is, I am a firm believer that no matter how well a person performs in their profession that there is always room to improve and thus I never rate anyone at top rating.
