“Very pleased with care from beginning to present. Parker who greets you is very pleasant. Dr.Koonz is very thorough and not rushed. Offered trial of one brand hearing aid but when I was not totally pleased he switched to another brand which is working out perfectly. Worked very closely with my insurance to get the ones I wanted.”

“Dr. Koonz has taken care of my hearing problem for a number of years. He is patient and understanding even when he wants to up the sound and I won't let him because it would give me more migraines. I always recommend Dr. Kooz and his wonderful staff to anyone who I talk with that is need of hearing aids.”

“I am a caregiver to my 65 year-old mother who not has low hearing in both ears, but who also has low vision and vascular dementia as the result of surviving three strokes. The team did not know these details prior to our arrival and yet during her screening and hearing aid pick up, the doctors and staff handled her with the upmost care. Most recently, Dr. Koonz adapted to her needs with patience and positive reassurance as he used repetition and verbal cues to help her properly use her hearing aids. ”

“I took a chance and moved from an excellent source to HBA and have never regretted it. Their service is outstanding and friendly. If you have a problem, they will see you quickly -- the same or next day. They conduct periodic tests to see how your hearing is changing and to adjust the hearing aids appropriately. They stay aware of your warranty and use it to your advantage. My previous audiologist would say, your hearing aids are almost out of warranty, time to buy new ones. Not HBA.”

Whenever I’ve needed to go for supplies or to have something fixed, the staff has always been friendly and efficient. Most recently I went in because I felt that something was in my ear. Dr. Koonz found and removed TWO small plastic hearing aid tips. He did this easily and efficiently and was very kind. (I had used the wrong tips, and they just fell off into my ear.) What a relief it was to have that done! ”

“Coming from Chicago where I had the two top of the line audiologists, i must admit I was somewhat leery of getting the same quality person anywhere, not just Tallahassee, but I must say that i was more than pleasantly surprised with the professional and kind approach of Dr. Koonz. I may safely say that I was lucky to get another top of the line audiologist write here in Tallahassee and wholeheartedly recommend him to anybody who is seeking excellent audiology service. ”

“I like Dr. Koonz. He seems to care deeply for his patients. I was in and he suggested to me that he would like to send my hearing aid back to the factory for a health checkup since my warranty would be expiring in four months. I thought that was very admirable on his part to think of his patients in that manner.”

“I had not had my Oticon Hearing Aids checked for more than 1 year. My use of them had been limited because I did not feel they were properly attuned to MY hearing loss. Dr. Koonz took a quick look at the pair of hearing aids and immediately informed me that only 1 of the pair was in working order. The left ear aid was broken and would be sent to Oticon for repair. That would take 1-2 weeks, at a cost to me of $300. Then he informed me that Oticon would NOT REPAIR but would simply REPLACE the left ear aid. I found this to be exactly what I needed so that I would have TWO (2) properly functioning hearing aids and would be better able to watch television and actually hear the verbal part. Knowing that I no longer drive, he took my daughter's telephone number and said he would call her to let her know my "new' hearing aid had arrived so she could pick it up at her earliest convenience. ”

“I was treated with the greatest of care. Dr. Koonz is the best.”
