“Very in-depth hearing analysis, if they are unsure then they will do more testing. Additionally, very welcoming to younger patients with hearing problems. Some audiologists aren't very welcoming for young people with hearing loss, but they were very professional and encouraging. ”

“Very great staff and service. Audiology Doctors were very efficient and knowledgeable about hearing. They went overboard in discussing what is wrong and what needs to be done to correct the disability. Highly recommend.”
