“When I first met Dr Atwood 3 years ago to get fit for my hearing aids I found her to be extremely patient and helpful and that relationship has continued 3 years later. I didn't know how bad I needed hearing aids and she fit them perfectly for my situation! I also didn't know how much I was missing until I got fitted for the hearing aids.! She took the time and care to get me fitted properly.! Yes hearing aids can be pricey but the gift of hearing is priceless especially when fitted correctly! So if you're considering getting less expensive versions at places like Sam's don't waste your money! Go see Dr. Atwood she will have you hearing beautifully! She takes the time to test your hearing and tweak the hearing aids to your needs. There is a big difference between a hearing aid and a hearing amplifier. The hearing aid is adjusted to your specific hearing loss so that you can hear voices Etc. A hearing amplifier amplifies everything and it's extremely distracting! I highly recommend Dr Atwood to get you hearing properly!”

“I have been to 2 other Audiologists and was not happy with the hearing aids I sampled before purchase. Dr Attwood was completely different, very patient. The exam was very thorough. There was even a cognitive test. The hearing aids I purchased were adjustable in ways I never imagined. Not just an amplifier, I hear more sounds that are around me as well. The support is excellent. Many follow up visits are included, and I can even text Dr. Atwood if need be. They stress there that this is an ongoing process tuning hearing aids to the user. The guarantee and warranty that comes with the hearing aids truly justify the cost. I am looking forward to a better life!”
