Ashley is great and has a good bedside demeanor. This visit was for an annual checkup and the body scan is quick. I'm not sure there is enough time allocated to discover any issues on my skin that I don't already point out in the beginning of the process. I worry about any areas that I can't see well such as my back, the back of my legs, etc.
