“I had good care having my ears cleaned but as I lost hearing they rushed me across the hall to get hearing aids without telling me that my health insurance pays for cleanings but not hearing aids. The cost was $6900 with a $600 down payment. When I left the office I called my health insurance company and the next day I told them to cancel because another would provide me with the same model for free. They would not refund my$600 so I have left Independence for good. The contact says I would have a full refund within 30 days. This is not honorable. ”

“Dr Atwood was informative, professional and accurate. The information she gave me and my wife (who was present) was helpful to both of us. Her definitive explanation of the hearing aids and their use was the best we have been given. ”

“This was my first appointment with Dr. Atwood. She was highly professional, very patient, and took extra time to listen to my medical issues and hearing concerns. She was knowledgeable and, using advanced technology for a thorough hearing assessment, she was able to recommend the right hearing aid and program it specifically to my hearing loss. She was highly reassuring and respectful in her manner, which gave me a lot of hope that, with her expertise, I could have the tools I need for a more functional hearing. I would highly recommend her and her excellent team.”
