“Kaitlyn was amazing and explained everything to me. I have been in denial for so long and she made me feel at ease about this process. I am currently trying this out for one week and so far I love this, this is only my second or third day. Kaitlyn has compassion, understanding and knowledge to let you know that this is just something that you need.”

“Dr. Hillman has a great personality, she made me feel relaxed, she is helping me with ringing of my ears and directing me in the right direction. The Monroeville office is great. Heather the office manager is wonderful. My quote from Dr. Hillman is "more sound to hear, less sound up here" (brain ringing). ”
