“Dr. Melissa Baker is so positive, full of energy and a very personable ear specialist. For years I was being treated for tinnitus with antidepressants, which did not help. I am so thankful to have found a wonderful audiologist who had way better answers to treating my symptoms. Who would have thought a hearing aide would be the answer. Staff is wonderful, the facility very clean and inviting. This place rocks! ”

“Went in to have personalized ear plugs made. The process was very smooth from explaining the different kinds and which kind would be best for purpose being used for. The ear plugs work great and will just take some time getting use to.”

“The staff was over the top wonderful. We forgot my husband’s hearing aid charger. I literally spent 3 hours trying to find a charger. God bless these ladies for their kindness and help. Even cleaned his hearing aids. Thank you thank you ”

“I had my quarterly check up today. Dr Baker checked my hearing aids and found a problem with one of them. Dr Baker will send my hearing aids in for repair and she let me use a loaner pair to use until mine are repaired. They can repair most problems in the office. She checked my ears for any wax buildup and asked if I had any questions or other problems. Dr Baker is very professional, but very personal also. ”
