Several months ago, Jennifer helped me get the right hearing aid and did all the legwork with the insurance company. She also helped me get it fitted and took the time to help make adjustments after the first few weeks I had the device. I am grateful for the help that I received.

Very well run office. Very helpful and friendly. Helped me get an appointment right away after other doctors couldn't schedule me. Met with the head doctor, Dr. Hemmer, who was genuinely interested in me. He listened and asked questions. I found him to be quite intelligent and very professional. He was able to diagnose my complaint and set up a plan on the first visit. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Hemmer.

Great experience with Dr Hemmer and Jenn! My issues were addressed and felt like they actually cared. Check in was quick. Jenn was amazing when conducting the hearing test - I'll defiantly be back if I need a follow up. Thanks again
