    I would have benefited from more warning of what to expect from the procedure. I'm unusually sensitive to sensations especially sound and the surprise on top of the discomfort and extreme noise was hard to take.

    I would recommend the care provider but not the medical practice due to the long delay in seeing the doctor.

    She seemed arrogant and showed little interest in hearing loss. She negated my hearing loss by telling me that I should hear fine w/aids which I don't. She doubted the etiology of my hearing loss telling me that it was very unusual although It Is a published cause of sudden hearing loss. I will not be back

    Dr spent very little time with me and didn't do a complete exam but noted that she had in the medical record. For example in her visit notes she described my neck palpated normally no masses or lymphadenopathy etc. but she never palpated my neck at all.
