My visit was with Dr. Knodell. I was a little nervous about the testing. However, Dr. Knodell was very professional, kind and attentive. Prior to each test, she took the time to explain how the test would be administered and constantly checked to see how I was doing. She is listened to my concerns and made me feel like a valued and important patient. I felt so lucky and blessed to have been in her care. We need more doctors like her.
Great service and support
Great experience! Dr Cole does a great job explaining my test results in a manner that is understandable.
Your service is very professional and personal. I rate it highly. I think I will need an adjustment to the hearing aids. Some sounds are too loud. E.g., when I pick up my car keys, it is very loud. Or, when some any two hard objects touch, it is very loud.
I was surprised how easy the process was for getting the Hearing Aids and pleased with the Audiologist who was very pleasant.
The appointment was so quick and the front desk assistant was so nice and same as the doctor.I definitely suggest everyone to visit them.
Live Better Hearing Potomac is great to work with. Dr. Leeb and her staff are extremely competent and very pleasant and helpful. They really want you to have a good hearing experience and give you 100 percent of their time and attention. I would love to see the office somehow open full-time.
Very friendly and courteous staff. Always available to assist you.
Competent, honest, prompt service/response to issues.
My experience was a very pleasant one. The receptionist was very pleasant and Dr Kelly was very knowledgeable and through and explained everything so I could understand
Excellent
Did an amazing job
Was very satisfied. Dr was very professional and knowledgeable. She answered all questions I had a very positive.
My experience over seven years has been excellent. The audiologists have all been competent, and the service has been quite good. Hearing aids are expensive, and yours are no exception. But "You get what you pay for", and the follow-up service to make sure that the aids are matched closely to my ears and my desires, makes it worth it. Knowing you are there if I have any troubles with the equipment is the final bonus.
The experience was professional and informative. The doctor was attentive and listened to my concerns. The visit also did not feel rushed, which was much appreciated!

Dr Buckley was excellent, she explained my hearing test results clearly and in detail in a calm and pleasant manner. I never thought she was being overly technical. She presented options to enhance my hearing without being pushy. Options were just options for me to consider. She answered all questions from my wife and I. We both feel we were being helped by a true Professional and to have had her as our Doctor. I look forward to future visits. Rob Buckwalter
Absolutely love the personalized care. Feels like family. They care about my hearing as much as I do. Could not be happier!
