“Doctor takes her time explaining procedures to the kids and getting their input to make them comfortable. Also takes her time and answers all questions. No rushing in and out like some other facilities. Highly recommend them. ”

“Excellent experience working with EARS and Associates. Have had a few hearing tests and consultations with them in last few years and always was treated with respect and care . Shout out to Behrouz Farsi as he is great at conveying what hearing challenges mean for the patient and family. ”

“The office staff was very friendly and pleasant. However, Dr. Maw was not. She was completely dismissive of my symptoms, lacking compassion and cold. She genuinely seemed bothered when I asked her a follow up question as we were leaving the room. Her bedside manner is terrible and I would not recommend anyone see her. I do believe there are other doctors in the office as well and perhaps they are better suited to interact with patients.”

“Behrouz is an outstanding provider! His understanding for those with hearing problems is comprehensive, educational, sensitive and caring. I cannot say enough positive things about his professional skills and thoughtful presence. He is a tremendous asset to the profession and to your group. ”

“Dr. Insera is an amazing doctor and well knowledged in her field. She goes above and beyond to meet my hearing needs. She explains with a conversation/discussion so that I undrestand. She listens and never dismisses my complaints. She goes above and beyond and provides excellent care. The office staff and other doctors that I have met with and have helped me are professional and courteous. I recommenend this place to any one needed help with ear issues.”
