The office staff is not very helpful. They could not schedule my audiologist appointment or my ent appointment for next year. They could not provide a copy of my bill for today's visit. They just gave me business cards with numbers for billing dept and a number for audiologist appointment. They actually asked me if I had ent billing with my checkout folder with the ent doctor's name on the front right in front of them. I asked them if they took payments and they said they could take my money but not provide a copy of the bill. They said the audiologist contact could schedule the ent appointment. I told them I wanted to do the two appointments on the same day in the same office. They had called me and canceled my audiologist appointment today so I have to go two different days this week. I'm trying to avoid two trips with the follow up visits. Also, the hearing test person was friendly but she was having problems with her equipment and kept poking different devices in my ears.
