    "Hello, I just wish I would have been told a little bit more about the possible swelling and you know, I realize there's going to be some bruising, but it swelled up pretty good. We actually had to call in a nurse of our, in our family to come take a look at it because I didn't realize and I didn't have any other number to call. That was one big issue that there was no contact. So that's about it. Thank you."

Ended up being only 5 minutes late! They got me in right away & Dr came in shortly! He was very thorough & showed me what he was seeing with the camera! I just wish I would not have had to wait 3 weeks for my appointment. I have had this issue for 3 months! Saw Dr [REDACTED] 4 times & usually his treatments work... just needed more insight. Dr Parker was very professional & friendly Treated me with respect & explained plan of treatment! Hope this works!? Thank you for your great staff! Haven't had any issues with anyone for years!!!"

I got a pair of working aids from a veteran, and I am unable to use them because they were not purchased from you. They are current model working aids from resound. I understand there are expenses for fitting and programming, and would pay for the service. I will be going elsewhere for my hearing needs."

Within the week I got a phone call from Dr. Parker himself to discuss my options again and came up with a plan of treatment for now. I was very impressed that he actually called and not his nurse. I really like when the physician calls the patient, I feel that my question can be answered directly instead of through the nurse. I also like that idea that he would reach out to my other providers and inform them what we discussed and the plan of treatment at this time. Shout out to Dr. Parker, thanks you very much"

Dr was very informative on exactly what was happening with my son and what my son now is experiencing with some slight hearing loss which I believe could be part of why my son is so rambunctious. With the new registration process with ent checking in was faster. I had the chance to make sure every information was correct on my end ie; insurance as the last time the receptionist or patient accounts termed it out due to it coming back as inactive when it wasn't."
