"Excellent experience. Ms Rhoades and her colleague were exteremly helpful in resolving a number of problems I was having with my hearing aids and providing guidance on use of the devices. The improvement in hearing aid performance was spectacular - the only word to describe it. I have already recommended Weill Cornell's Audiology department's service to others - it was a very positive visit."
"Dr Montano is the best! He is always up to date on the newest technology and is extremely patient . I tend to ask a lot of questions and he is never in a rush to get me out. When it comes to audiology he's the man!"
