“Friendly service and state-of-the-art technology! Dr. Fogel has a personal approach to her practice that is really refreshing. She explains everything and let's you know what to expect and what your options are. Her 3D ear scan is next level.

“Dr. Fogel is amazing! She really extends herself for her patients. One night when it seemed both hearing aids weren’t working and I left a message, she called back to give detailed directions on how to get them working, well after hours! I was only leaving the message so that I would get a call the next day when the office opens. I was blown away, when a few minutes later the doctor called back to help! Thank you again!!”

“I've been having hearing loss for the last few years. It finally got to a point where I needed to discuss options regarding hearing aids. Comprehensive Audiology came highly recommended. Additionally, I have read some articles in my local paper from Mrs. Fogel. Mrs. Fogel was very knowledgeable in everything regarding ones hearing. There was no question that couldn't be answered. Mrs. Fogel spent a long time with me explaining clearly all my options and listening to all of what I had to say. If anyone is having hearing issues, Comprehensive Audiology is an excellent place to go to get yourself checked out.”

“Esther Fogel and her assistant, Lori Altman, raise the bar when it comes to audiology. The care they provide is truly comprehensive, but that's not the only thing that makes this practice so unique. They are warm, compassionate professionals who know how to listen and show a responsiveness to the individual that is not found in larger audiology practices. Dr. Fogel gets to know her patients, in part because she truly cares about people and in part because by knowing a patient's lifestyle, she is best able to suggest appropriate treatment options. In fact, the comprehensive approach to audiology that I found here far exceeds the level and intensity of service that I received elsewhere and I found a provider that I know will be there for me for many years to come.”

“Due to the high quality service that was provided to my mom, I brought my neighbor to Dr. Fogel. Before taking a leap of faith on getting his hearing tested my neighbor was so hesitant in accepting the possibilities of learning that he would need to wear hearing aids. After his visit and purchase of his hearing aids and going back to adjust some minor concerns, he is now overwhelmed with joy that he can hear again. Dr. Fogel is the best health care professional I have met. She’s worth the visit and recommendation.”
