The recent services from Bethany at Albrecht Audiology have been a life saver…read more The hearing evaluation was much more thorough than at a previous local provider and really uncovered my specific hearing loss. Bethany has great empathy and caring for me and did not push any specific models to me. Albrecht Audiology has fitted me with the Oticon Real behind the ear hearing aids. These are an upgraded from basic models. I did this because I have been wearing Oticon OPN found there is a HUGE difference in my hearing. I have moderate to severe loss of hearing in the higher frequencies and tinnitus The Oticon Real provide crisp clear edge to all sounds! I can hear so much more than I could previously. Conversations with friends, family and coworkers are easy to understand and I feel like these aids have opened up a part of me that has been suffering with loss. The pricing for the same model is so much more affordable than my previous local provider.

After a bad experience a few years ago with an audiologist, I was reluctant to try again. This…read morepast year, my tinnitus became unbearable and my hearing was compromised. Not sleeping at night and not being able to hear most of conversations made every day living difficult. Dr. Bethaney Tessitore was so attentive to my needs and gave me all the options available. She explained my situation in detail. She changed my life. Because I lost my hearing gradually, I was unaware of how bad it had become. I am very happy that I took her advice. I am extremely pleased with the results and grateful for the personalized care and the kindness and understanding Bethaney gave me. I am one happy lady!

He seemed disappointed that I had such a mundane diagnosis as vertigo and not something sexier like Meniere's (sp?). He barely looked at me, told me to watch YouTube videos on how to do the Epley maneuver and I can go. I started asking some questions and he opened the door and started walking down the hallway. He was done with me. Probably less than 1 minute spent with me. I followed him down the hall asking if he could show me the maneuver, and he said to watch the videos or go to PT. He said we don't do that here anymore. I asked for a prescription for PT 1/2way down the hallway and he seemed surprised. He sighed and said ok. His staff is super nice and very helpful.

I went, and was very happily surprised. The office is easy to find, parking is sufficient, and the inside is very clean and modern. During the current Covid pandemic, patient safety is obviously a high priority as well, with a quick phone interview asking relevant questions, and a temperature checks at your car before you enter the building. All the hygienists we've seen are very friendly and courteous, answering any questions you have. They're also great with kids, as our daughter has gone for the past 4 years and loves it. Having a toddler eager to go to the dentist is not an experience I've heard from others very often, but ours is, which is a testament to their care. One other review mentioned that Dr. Anderton has turned into a greedy businesswoman, due to her not taking the insurance anymore (I assume it's the Penn State dental insurance). I know a little about the situation, and it's definitely not her fault. The issue, as I understand it, is that the insurance changed to require dentists to use some material for cavity fillings that tend to degrade, while Dr. Anderton insists on using high-quality fillings. That led to her not being accepted into the network. However, you can still be reimbursed from an HSA if you have one. In short, Dr. Anderton is the best dentist me, or my family, has ever had, and we'll be her happy patients for as long as we can.

He'll even show you a better way to floss and keep your teeth healthy if you're having issues. Truly a gem among dentists!

During appointments, I had to ask two different dentists and a dental assistant to stop touching and patting me throughout treatment. It was not a single incidental touch, but continuous unnecessary physical contact on my arm or shoulder, which was highly unusual and felt invasive. A hygienist also used my chest as a resting surface for her instruments, dropping tools onto it repeatedly during cleaning. I found the experience physically uncomfortable and jarring. I continued going there for several years because, to their credit, they eventually noted my discomfort in my chart and the unwanted touching stopped. However, at my last appointment I was 7 minutes late because of an unexpected domestic issue that arose as I was leaving the house. I called ahead to let them know. When I arrived, I was told they could no longer see me as a patient because I was "always" late, which was simply untrue. I had often arrived on time and had also waited 20 to 30 minutes for the office when it was running behind, including one occasion when the wait was closer to 40 minutes. What felt especially unfair was that I was never given any warning about lateness policies before being abruptly dismissed from the practice after arriving for my appointment. There were no prior conversations, notices, or written warnings in their appointment communications. Being refused treatment and permanently dropped as a patient on the spot over being 7 minutes late was disproportionately harsh and humiliating. A basic courtesy conversation or warning beforehand would have made the situation feel far less unnecessarily severe. Overall, I found the practice disrespectful of personal boundaries and needlessly punishing toward me as a longtime patient.
