I'm just not happy with the recent service they have/have... not offered my special needs daughterr. Got a new pair of hearing aids for her in February, cost 6000.00. After four attempts they finally sent them back as defective. She has loaner hearing aides for two months now. They called last week said to come pick hers up. After several calls to make an appointment, leaving message after message, I finally get someone to answer the phone. She had me on hold for twenty minutes, then tells me they do not have any hearing aids for her. But you called me and said they were in. Girl says she will figure out what's going on and call me back. That was 7 days ago, still have not heard from them. SMHread more

This place is extremely unprofessional. First of all the... man at the front desk is incredibly sassy and rude and was loudly arguing with patients on the phone in front of everyone in the waiting room and then commenting on it after hanging up. I took my 18 month old son here on a recommendation from our pediatrician that we see a speech therapist and when the man at the front desk heard my son say “hi” to someone in the waiting room he commented to everyone and said “you’re already light years ahead of your peers why are you here?” That was none of his business to state out loud especially without knowing anything about our situation or what we were there for. Eventually we got called back to do the hearing test and no one introduced themselves at all. I didn’t realize I was even talking to the doctor until someone else came in and called her by name. After the hearing test no one explained the results at all. I then met with the therapist who was nicer but still no introduction and no explanation on what we should expect since it was our first time there. She just sat and watched him play and interact which is fine if that’s how they do things, but a heads up would have been nice so I wasn’t sitting there waiting for the appointment to start thinking she wasn’t doing her job.read more

Very disappointed. I checked with our insurance and this... facility is in our network, so decided to schedule an appointment for my child to have a speech evaluation. Spoke to staff and provided insurance info, scheduled for 8am on 12/10/18. Received a confirmation call on 12/7/18 to be at the facility at 8am and earlier to complete paperwork and bring audiologist report. My wife and I took the day off of work, took our child out of school, and showed up at 7:40am to an empty receptionist desk. We eventually spoke to 3 different people. They check the schedule and state we are scheduled for 9:30am, not 8am. The speech therapist was argumentative in that the person scheduled us knew she was busy and had regular clients, so there was nothing she could do but for us to wait. The front office manager, who never introduced herself or told us what her exact title was, stated there was another speech therapist supposed to be there but we were notified of the change in time, but this was not true. We have a voicemail proving this. She said we could wait (with a 2.5 year old, no thank you) or come back in the afternoon which is another hardship and our child tests better in the morning. She was never considerate and seemed miffed that we were making a big deal of their lack of understanding of what the term "appointment" really means to the rest of society. We canceled and will not return. I plan to also contact our insurance company and make a complaint. No need for this agency to be providing services to their customers if this is the response from the staff.read more
