ENT of Georgia South 1240 GA-54, #710 Fayetteville, GA 30214 Varied

My hearing is very poor and Michele helped fit me to some very good hearing aids. However, in certain challenging environments, the devices were still struggling to deliver an acceptable sound. My passion is to support students at science fairs which we do with a special award for patent assistance. My experience at a recent science fair was frustrating.

When I asked for help from Michele's office, Sara managed to find an opening an appointment with Michele before my next science fair. Michele made some adjustments to my hearing aids and they seem to be working much better.

I am very grateful to their dedication to great patient care. Please share my compliment with them. I filled out a very good survey but thought their excellent care was worth this message. I have been Dr. Hood's patient for many years and he has been excellent at caring for my ENT needs.

ENT of Georgia South 1240 GA-54, #710 Fayetteville, GA 30214 Varied

My experiences with ENT of Georgia have been extraordinary. Before I first came to see them I didn't know what I was missing. Having been connected to construction work over my career I didn't know how bad my hearing was. ENT of GA, particulary Lindsay Lanson, Au.D., gave me a new meaning to my life. I'm on my second set of hearing aids and people have to be careful what they say around me now! Thanks also to Dr. Dozier Hood!.

She [Dr. Lanson] is very proficient and very personable!

ENT of Georgia South 1240 GA-54, #710 Fayetteville, GA 30214 Varied

I knew my hearing was not good and my family was as frustrated I was. I went in for the thorough evaluation and it confirmed I needed aids to hear adequately. Dr. Lanson gave me a thorough explanation of my options & outlined the costs involved in each. My husband & I made the decision which aids were best. We purchased them & pd them off over time. I believe having the hearing aids is one of the best decisions I've made in the last 15 years. I've had the aids a yr and a half now. I hear everything now. There was a short adjustment period (1-2 wks) and now I never go without them. They changed my interaction with others both at home & in social settings. Now I'm a much happier person.

ENT of Georgia South 1240 GA-54, #710 Fayetteville, GA 30214 Varied

Best ENT I have ever been to. Very thorough and really listens to your concerns, while walking you through the treatment plan in detail. Seems to really care about his patients and making things easy; went out of his way to fax my prescription to my pharmacy even though it wasn't in their online system. Had another ENT totally dismiss my issues, but Dr. Herman really looked in to everything and figured out what was going on. Appointment was right on time and check-in was easy too!
