“I have been a patient of Independence Hearing LLC for almost 3 years after my wife did extensive research regarding available facilities in my area. During this time, I have been totally satisfied with the care provided. The staff is competent and efficient and It has always been easy to schedule an appointment. In addition, if I have a problem or questions, I am able to stop in at the office (rare occurrence) even without an appointment. Dr. Atwood is knowledgeable, patient and caring and I always feel valued. I highly recommend Independence Hearing LLC.”

“I had to wait almost an hour for my appointment, which annoyed me very much . However, Michele Phillips was super nice and kind in handling my frustrations. She explained thoroughly test results. I was impressed with her professionalism. ”

“Dr. Atwood is definitely not your typical doctor, whose doctors visits are relegated to assembly lines of patients, having no time to converse or properly assess the new patients. I found her to be the quintessential physician. Talked with me about my new hearing aid and explained the nuances of this new device. She also had time to talk to me I found the whole experience refreshing. ”
