Dr Appelbaum and the Audiologist were both professional and thorough

Each staff member that I interacted with at this office was exceptional. Dr. Appelbaum first listened very carefully and asked questions to learn my goals and reason for the appointment. He explained my options and gave helpful considerations and pros/cons for each. He really helped me to make an informed decision and plan that I feel confident in. I also felt very comfortable, at ease, and happy to have a solution. Thank you, Dr. Appelbaum and staff! I am very thankful for the care I received and will continue to receive at this office. It was out of my way and well worth the drive.
