“Dr Hobson did a great job in testing my hearing and fitting me with my hearing aids. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing hearing aids. The receptionist was also very professional and courteous.”

“Dr Hobson is absolutely an awesome person, she is very kind and concerned about your hearing. My first visit was a whole new world, I was deaf, she made me hear, something I haven't done for a long long time. She is a fantastic help if you're having a hearing problem. Highly recommend.”

“Sandra cares & understands her patients. She goes above & beyond to make sure you're happy & hearing properly. She's very polite & easy to talk to. When my hearing aid breaks down, she will make sure that you have some sort of loaner until it's fixed. She has a great staff who is willing to provide any services available, I consider her to be more than a great audiologist, but a great friend as well. She's simply amazing.”
