Partnering with expert hearing care providers doesn’t only transform your hearing – it changes your life.
Hearing is an integral part of our daily experiences, influencing how we interact with others and engage with the world. You can rest assured that we recognize that hearing care is less about the devices and more about the moments they restore between people.
Part of what gets us out of bed each morning is getting to see our patients; our community is rich with unique people and different perspectives, and whether we’re chatting about hearing care or the next cruise we have planned, it’s always a joy to see you!
A Vacation Pit Stop
I recently had a patient come to visit me who I fit around five years ago – her daughter lives in Florida, and she came from Ohio to visit her for two weeks. With previous experience with an at-home hearing test kit that went south, she reached out to me again for help with getting new hearing aids.
She told me, “I’m coming to Florida on vacation,” and I told her, “Call me when you get here.” She came straight to my office from the airport when her vacation started!
I did a same-day fit for her new devices. I was very deeply touched that she put that confidence in me, that she spent part of her vacation to come in and be refit, because she didn’t trust anybody else.
This interaction solidified, for me, the power of the patient and provider relationship; she came all this way and insisted on seeing me in our Port Orange clinic because she knew that our team would provide the care she needed most.
It speaks volumes about the relationships we foster with our patients. It’s my goal to ensure that every patient who comes to see us feels that same sort of comfort and confidence in our care that she did.
After all, that’s why we do what we do: to ensure that you hear the life you love with the help of expert care that sees you as a person, not just a patient.
Our Commitment to You
