We had a wonderful experience at Capital Institute of Hearing and Balance. I was able to get an appointment for a hearing test for my son extremely quickly. Dr. Ortiz-Hawkins was very thorough and patient. Would give more stars if available. Thank you for the quick appointment and easing our concerns about possible hearing loss.

Both doctors are gifted clinicians with deeply empathetic and caring bedside manners. They go out of their way to tend to everybody they encounter and are an asset to the broader community. They have provided exceptional service to both my father and me. Whether an emergency or routine appointment, they are thorough, personable, and knowledgeable. They should be the go to audiologists on everybody's list.
