I was absolutely thrilled with the doctor and staff of Associated Audiologists. Dr. Travis was very kind, supportive and patient. He gave me a thorough examination and I love my new aids. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. I know I can contact them if I have questions.

Dr. Travis is 5 stars in every way. So far my experience with AA has been positive. My Widex hearing aids get a 4 out of 5 due to some issues with heavy streaming of aids for business.
