My daughter had hearing loss.  Dr Johnson cleaned her ears out and found a cue tip broken off in her ear and plenty of wax.  We have seen Dr Johnson on a few occasion and found him very personable, professional & knowledgable.  His staff are excellent.  I highly recommend his services.

Overall Rating: 1.0 2017-09-08

So , I paid thousands of dollars for them to cauterize my nose for constant nose bleeds, well after only 2 months my nose is still bleeding! They told me to come back if that happened....so you want me to come back, pay MORE money, and sit on pain all over again? So, what did I pay for the first time? I am so frustrated with the whole experience!
