“I would definitely recommend Dr Kennedy and her staff. Her staff is friendly and professional. My appointment time was right on schedule - no wait time.
Dr Kennedy listened to my concerns and addressed each one. The audiologist explained each step of the hearing test and both doctors explained their findings and addressed my questions. Excellent all around experience. ”
