A Letter From Dr. & Mrs. Brown,

First and foremost, we are here for your hearing healthcare needs and understand your concerns.
We are here for YOU! 
 The staff has been working diligently before and after every patient encounter to sanitize the office to ensure the safest environment.  Screening protocols are being utilized throughout the day, all individuals temperatures are being taken upon arrival (including staff at the beginning of their shift), utilization of personal protective equipment is being utilized by our staff (face masks and gloves), face masks are provided to our patients who may not have brought one, and we are still providing curbside services when possible.  We are proud that we have been able to continue our patient care since COVID-19 began affecting our communities.

Please rest assured, we have your overall health at the upmost importance and will continue to adhere to the CDC recommendations or surpass their guidelines.  We want you and your family to feel comfortable in receiving the NEEDED care at our clinic.

​Best Regards,
