            I always receive excellent care there. My only problem ever is that I don't hear and sometimes I wish that receptionist and check-in personnel would realize they are dealing with hearing impaired people. It's especially hard on the phone when I call so I just walk in to talk with someone face to face. It's a bit more time consuming but I understand better. I don't know what the answer is. Is there some new technology available? Like maybe captioning at the check in desk? Like I said, I don't know the answer.

            The audiologist was very good. I felt the hearing test was accurate, and she explained it well. The one negative was that I had to wait quite a while for Dr. Ringstrom. Apparently, he had to do something unexpectedly. But even though it delayed my day (and caused some problems later) he took his time and explained things well. I have confidence in his care.
