He explained NOTHING, just looked in my ears, contradicted the decisions and findings of the others, including an actual doctor who had evaluated my hearting a year previously. I felt disrespected and even afraid, treated like a subhuman. I am reluctant to have anything to do with an office that allows him to be with patients. "Interact" with would not be accurate, since he did not engage, merely opined, and not in an informative manner. He told me all the others were wrong, but not why, and not what was right.

She was unable to adjust hearing aids correctly, then unable to restore prior settings. When discussing adjustments to the equalization settings in the hearing aid app, the audiologist asked me to explain what "flat" meant. Office was no longer able to offer phone support for the hearing aids, one of the primary reasons I had initially chosen that model of hearing aid for purchase. Audiologist that was evaluating my hearing and adjusting the instruments that I had purchased from the practice was unable to professionally or accurately do either. As she was unable to restore settings, I left the practice that day unable to hear as well as I could when I walked in.

I know that's normal, but I'd already uploaded it twice and, therefore, didn't bring it. She was so rude and aggressive. She spoke to me in a rude tone and asked me to pay upfront - something that wasn't requested of other customers. I was 10 minutes late (absolutely my fault), but I called ahead of time to let them know. Because of the insurance card madness with Sarika, I wasn't even called back for the preliminary stuff for more than 25 minutes. When I tell you she was aggressive, I mean it. She: -yelled my first name from behind the glass - couldn't see her, so I walked up and stood there, trying to understand who was calling me and why. Eventually, she felt it necessary to finally address me. She said, "I need a copy of your insurance card." I informed her that I'd uploaded it twice and didn't have a hard copy. She asks for a picture to be emailed. Then, when that took too long, she asked to see a photo on my phone. She wouldn't even allow them to see me until "she had the number," which I could've read to her. -was condescending.

This review is intended to give kudos to Cosmetic Hearing Solutions, as well as alert federal…read moreemployees and retirees to the significant hearing aid benefits available to them through Blue365 if they are enrolled in a federal Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance plan. Blue365 offers health and wellness discounts and is free to join. First off, Cosmetic Hearing Solutions: My audiologist there, Barbara Beck, has been absolutely wonderful. She administered an initial hearing test, then walked me through the various hearing aid options and which would best meet my needs. She listened carefully and answered every question I had. After I ordered a set of hearing aids, she scheduled two follow-up visits so far to program the hearing aids to meet my specific needs and make sure that they are working properly. She's patient, kind, knowledgable, and thorough. Second, Blue365 and Blue Cross: Blue Cross partners with various retailers and providers to provide its members with significant discounts and benefits through the Blue365 program. One of the providers on Blue365 is TruHearing, which offers discounts of between 30-60% off the price of hearing aids. TruHearing helped me find Cosmetic Hearing Solutions, set up the initial appointment, and handled all of the paperwork with the audiologist. Depending on your Blue Cross plan, current and retired federal employees can combine those discounts with a $2500 allowance toward the cost of hearing aids (with prior authorization). I only mention Blue Cross because of the great number of federal employees and retirees in the area. Blue Cross/Blue365 and TruHearing made it far more affordable to address my hearing problem than I thought. Don't think hearing aids are too expensive before you check out the benefits offered by Blue Cross and Blue365. I am thrilled with the hearing aids that Cosmetic Hearing Solutions found for me. I no longer feel like I'm missing out on conversations. I don't have to turn up the TV to hear it. I can stream phone calls, music and videos right through my hearing aids. They are lightweight and unobtrusive. They're great.

Anyway, the practice is a patient centered medical home so they offer more than just your primary care services including mental health and nutrition.

During one visit, a nurse confused me with another patient and attempted to give me a shot I did not need. The only reason it didn't happen is because I stopped her and told her to verify. That is a terrifying level of negligence in a medical office. Patients are told they may only discuss two "problems" per visit -- their word -- and are charged if they dare mention anything else. This practice nickel-and-dimes patients relentlessly: * $25 for work paperwork * $30 for prescription refills * $45 to transfer records * $150 for bringing up a third issue I was double-charged for a visit and then blamed for their billing mistake. You're forced to complete 20+ pages of paperwork ahead of time, only to be made to redo all of it once you arrive. The front desk staff are rude, dismissive, and wildly incompetent. Dr. Waddell does not appear to care about patients at all -- only revenue. Visits are rushed, impersonal, and transactional. In a telemedicine appointment, she was two hours late and didn't even offer a simple apology. I switched providers and immediately saw the difference: respect, accountability, and actual care. This office provides none of that. I would actively warn anyone considering Dr. Waddell to stay far away.
