“I was seen by Victoria Price for vestibular testing. She was caring, reassuring and very detailed in her directions during my evaluation. The front desk receptionist was also very welcoming and thorough in checking me in. I met Dr. Wigand briefly at my check-in---also very pleasant and welcoming to the practice.”
