“I had a hearing test. The provider said that I needed hearing aids. She said if I had not heard from her office in a week give them a call. I have called several times and left messages, no response from the provider. This is very unprofessional. ”

“I seldom ever call the professional doctors I visit by their first name, but I feel so comfortable addressing Dr. Proffit as Tina because she feels like a friend. Professionally, she addresses my hearing concerns and keeps me informed about advances in hearing aids. On a personal level she knows my interests and even takes time to look at pictures of my grandchildren. Her warm smile is always a pleasant welcome.”

“I have used Anderson Audiology in Galax for more than ten years. They have provided excellent service and the staff is very personable. If anything needed to be fixed or cleaned, they were ready to help ASAP. We have moved to NC and now will have to find a new audiologist. I only hope they are as good as Anderson.”

“After moving, one of my hearing aids stopped working. I must have them to work so I was in a panic to find someone who could fix them fast. Anderson Audiology saw my the same day that I called as a brand new patient. They are very kind and responsive. I have now purchased new hearing aids through them.”

“I met with Dr. Proffit twice. The first was a cold call and I felt like I was met with open arms. After carefully hearing my problems she felt that a second appointment would give us added time to work to a solution. The appointment (scheduled late in her workday) resulted in electronic readjustment of my aides. No office or staff has made me more welcome and satisfied. I intend to have all my future problems addressed here first.”

“I had been experiencing changes in my hearing for several years, but hesitated to take action. I answered an ad in my local paper and visited Anderson Audiology for a free hearing exam. As a result, I was met with friendly competent people, especially Ms. Furrow who showed me many options and as a result fitted me with hearing aids that I find comfortable and user friendly. I am enjoying better hearing and am more a part of my family.”
