“Dr Richbourg is very knowledgeable and helpful. On every encounter, she has been patient, kind, and caring. I cannot say enough good things about her. I have had significant improvement in my hearing and understanding since I first started seeing her.”
“My son kept telling me he couldn't hear, and his hearing tests at CMH came back fine so I didn't know what to do. My neighbor mentioned that Dr. Richbourg helped her nephew tremendously with a hearing processing disorder so I made an appointment and I am SO glad I did! Dr. Richbourg is amazingly patient and understanding with children, and came up with a plan to help him understand what people are saying even with background noise. He's comfortable there which makes me comfortable!! 100% recommend this clinic and Dr. Richbourg specifically!”
“I ran in to them by accident. The best accident I've ever had. Took all kinds of time with me answered all my questions . And after the sale, so to speak , was just as impressive! very kind, caring office staff! Deals with insurance patiently. I would highly recommend Warrior Hearing Center to anybody needing a hearing test and possibly equipment. ”
“This was my first time visiting Warrior Hearings as my previous provider was no longer in network. The location was fairly easy to find and the staff were professional and courteous. They didn’t push any products on me. They had a wide range of products and options available. I would definitely recommend.”
“I can say, Top Notch, all the way!!! Very friendly personable and professional. Also very thorough! If you want excellent service I would highly recommend Warrior Hearing Center!”
