Question 7

Can someone else bring my child to an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, we are not able to see a new patient that is a child without the mother or father present. This is in order to obtain medical records, family history and complete all necessary paperwork.   At your first appointment, you will be asked to complete a form listing any other adult(s) who might need to bring your child to future appointments if you are not available. For future visits, if you are on the approved list on the patient's chart you will be able to bring the patient(s) to a visit without their parent(s).

Question 8

Do you sell or repair hearing aids?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, we are not a hearing aid dealer. We do, however, provide medical clearance for hearing aids and do hearing testing prior to hearing aid purchase(s).
