I am very happy with the office. The testing was great! The audiologist was very receptive and engaged. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. I rated Living Better Hearing + Balance a 4 instead of a 5 because they were unable to perform one of the doctor ordered test. Evidently the appointment staff made a mistake. I specifically asked about the tests my neurologist had ordered and was told that the Waldorf MD office could perform the testing. Went I arrived for my appointment (after a 45 min drive) I was informed that this office can’t perform one of the ordered tests. Fortunately, they could perform the other test and let me know their Rockville MD office (~2 hour drive) can perform the test. Appointment staff needs to be better trained or should check to verify the testing is available at the specified facility prior to making an appointment.

Read moreI am so grateful to have found Live Better Hearing. I was treated with professionalism and a welcome that I have not found in many specialty clinics. Dr. Ertter and her officer manager Teresa McGroarty worked as a team to ensure my success concerning my hearing dilemma. The reports/letter that I received were flawless and extremely accurate . I also understood that I was the first Retired Veteran seen at the Pasadena branch. That made me feel special indeed. In my future there is no doubt who I will see and recommend to my fellow veterans.
