I thought Scott MacDonaid Au.D was very thoro in his explanations of how the cochlear implant works and what to expect from it. He took all the time needed to explain what to expect if it was determined that I would be a good candidate for the procedure, He took plenty of time to answer all my questions about the process,risks,financial,time frames,benefits,and options with the different styles of equipment, He was very friendly and made me feel comfortable thru the whole question and answers and testing process, Paul B Henry

Dr. Abagail Katz does wonders for my hearing, wonders with my hearing aids. When I left her office the first time I thought: "This is it. I can hear incredibly better now." But with each visit she found something to do that improved things even more. She clearly knows her stuff. She is not only competent, but she is pleasant and engaging as well. I look forward to my visits and always leave with the hearing aids doing an even better job. Dr. Abba Rubin
Always a good experience. Everyone very friendly and accommodating.
