Make an appointment

Please contact our office to schedule an appointment.

Prior to scheduling an appointment, our providers often need to review chart notes related to your hearing loss, or the hearing loss of your child in order to coordinate any additional tests we may need in order to make the most of your visit.

Sometimes, we require a referral from your primary care physician. We are happy to discuss this with you to ensure we have all we need to expedite the scheduling process.

We can also answer questions by phone or e-mail before scheduling an appointment with you.
