I was delighted to work with Dr. Zolt, as he is warm, compassionate, and excellent at explaining an important step toward better health. The adoption of hearing aids is a big step - it takes more time to get ready in the morning and it takes time to learn the software linked to the aids that enhances sound in diverse environments. Dr. Zolt's "hearing aids school" made the process fun and comprehensible. I have already recommended him to a number of my friends and will continue to do so.

My experience with Dr Shelby at Live Better Hearing and Balance hit all the marks of excellence. Having been a previous customer of Costco, I was looking for a different brand, evidence of using more technological measures relative to reliability, and higher quality of communication and meaningful/instructive personalized service by a Doctor of Audiology who was clearly unlike the original "hearing aid dispenser." Dr Gillen is a pro, and a person endowed with a high level of interpersonal intelligence. Dr Lynn Neff

Everything with the VNG test was fine. Dr Kelly Becca explained the test and afterward allowed me to record her explanations so I could review her assessments later. I did have some problems with communication about my appointment. I wasn't told I needed to bring a referral. Thankfully my primary care physician sent one while I was waiting for the test. Also, I was told that I was supposed to have received instructions on preparations for the test. None received. I had trouble receiving the vestibular account. None was sent to my primary care physician. I was able to give her one after I received a mailed copy. I did finally receive an email copy. Thank you all for your help. It was much appreciated.

I had a very positive experience at the Waldorf clinic with Dr. Madison Knodell. I felt very comfortable and well taken care of from the moment I arrived. Dr. Knodell was very professional, kind, and thorough during my ear and balance evaluation. Although I am not fluent in English, the staff made sure to find interpreters so that I could fully understand everything. I truly appreciated that. I especially liked the way Dr. Knodell explained everything to me clearly, including what she evaluated during my examination and the results. She took the time to make sure I understood everything and explained everything in a very professional and caring way. I am very grateful for the care and attention I received. I highly recommend the Waldorf clinic and Dr. Madison Knodell for their professionalism, kindness, and excellent patient care.
