I have been seeing this Dr. since i was diagnosed by her in mid 2008 and I am now going to get a second opinion!!! Dr. Ashraf is not very friendly and wants " to get down to business." I am always in and out no more then 15 minutes. I have to pull info out of her and she has told me "there is nothing to do about the way I feel." I should not have let it go on for soooo long!

Dr Ashraf was compassionate and gave me time to ask questions.She was also able to give me a sense of hope regarding my condition and also made me feel she would be there for me when I needed her.

as with the other comment, the Dr needs to slow down alittle and l i s t e n more. There was no one else in the waiting room - yet I was in and out in 5 minutes- with my head still full of questions and my questions without answers.
