    "Dr.Aston is very professional. I have had vertigo and eye problems for about a year now. She covered a lot of territory in an hour. I could watch the mind work while she asked questions. Trying to formulate where I was going to get good testing for her further analysis. I felt very confident in the care I received and realize I have a long road to walk. With her help, my eyes and vertigo will improve. Thank you Dr. Aston."

    "This provider is good at diagnosing and taking very thorough notes. At first diagnosis, I appreciated her honesty, but felt a little let down as the appointment was over. I felt like there should have been more. I'm not sure what really, except maybe to say if anything else comes up or you need anything at all, maybe to give the office a call or to give me one of her business cards. Thursday was a follow up to that appointment, a six month checkup. We discussed next steps, but I gave her a list of things I have noticed about myself, yet nothing was suggested as to what I can do or offering if a medication would be helpful. Maggie the CMA/Nurse, listened to all I said. She was a nice person."

I felt that I left the appointment really well informed in regards to what happened, my current situation, and my future care. I can't say enough good things about the doctor. Thank you very much."
