The explanations of options moving forward made me confident in the conclusion of the results. I felt valued as a human being!”

–C.G., Los Angeles, CA, Hearing Testing Patient

“Excellent experiences for both of my appointments, even during the pandemic!

Highly recommend!!”

–M.L., Los Angeles, CA ENT Patient

My son needed a nasal endoscopy, and the MA was very nice and explained everything she was going to do to my son before the procedure was done.
