I had a car accident several years ago and injured my face. This caused quite a bit of hearing loss in one of my ears. Dr. Scott had an issue with designing the aid to fit the inside of my ear canal. But he was so patient and worked with me to get the perfect fit after about 6 remakes of the aid. I thought this was so outstanding for a doctor to continue working with the aid so I could be comfortable. I had many visits with adjustments and to get the correct sound setting needed for my comfort. He also went out of his way to meet me with my working schedule. His office staff is very capable and a pleasure to deal with. He is dedicated to his patients and shows personal excellence, respect for the individual, integrity, and accountability.”— J.
