I have been a patient for over 3 hears and have gotten two hearing aides from them. The support and exams I have received have been excellent. I highly recommend you consider them.

I recently had a follow-up visit at the new Mayfield Village location.  Unfortunately, Cindy was not back in the office yet.  I feel like I did not receive the same attentive, quality service that she provides.  She's really good and normally checks my ears and cleans out wax as needed...
