I was treated with respect and kindness. I felt confident that the audiologist was knowledgeable of my hearing problem. The hearing test that I took was very comprehensive. The doctor checked my ears and felt confident that I could benefit from a hearing aid.

The office staff is not very helpful. They could not schedule my audiologist appointment or my ent appointment for next year. They could not provide a copy of my bill for today's visit. They just gave me business cards with numbers for billing dept and a number for audiologist appointment. They actually asked me if I had ent billing with my checkout folder with the ent doctor's name on the front right in front of them. I asked them if they took payments and they said they could take my money but not provide a copy of the bill. They said the audiologist contact could schedule the ent appointment. I told them I wanted to do the two appointments on the same day in the same office. They had called me and canceled my audiologist appointment today so I have to go two different days this week. I'm trying to avoid two trips with the follow up visits. Also, the hearing test person was friendly but she was having problems with her equipment and kept poking different devices in my ears.

The front office staff was very kind and courteous and accommodating and made us feel very welcome. The provider was also the same and very knowledgeable with her skills. I feel very comfortable with my own child being in her care. Overall, I'm very happy with my entire experience, and I would definitely recommend her to all family and friends, and use her again in the future if needed.

I like the fact that the doctor was very patient. She answered all my questions. I was very nervous about the quick procedure that she had to do where she went in my nose with a scope. She took her time, she assured me that it wouldn't be painful, that it would be quick and I was very nervous and worried about the pain and she was absolutely correct. So definitely I would recommend her again. I would go to that practice again and I just had overall a positive experience. Thank you. I hope this was helpful.

I was treated with respect and kindness. I felt confident that the audiologist was knowledgeable of my hearing problem. The hearing test that I took was very comprehensive. The doctor checked my ears and felt confident that I could benefit from a hearing aid.
