This was the second time seeing this doctor at this location and it was not a very good experience...got there for my appointment and was told that they did not see patients until after one and then come to find out they were all in a meeting! They had to get the audiologist out to do my hearing test and the doctor had an emergency and would not be able to see me and this was after they had to reschedule my last two appointments. Would not like to come back to this location...will have hearing test done in Acworth and do a virtual with the doctor from now on...

Hello, I think I mentioned that I had forgotten to mention my radiation on my right ear, which happened in 2021, I think it was. And I also got that mayonnaise-like goop in my right ear after I, the day after I saw you. So anyway. Just wanted to let you know. Thank you. Otherwise, it was a good visit. Bye.
