It was such a pleasure to meet with such a wonderful caring Dr. who was honest and not pushing in any direction just truly cares about her profession. When it’s time to decide at least you have choices and a better picture of how to decide and feel comfortable. I was grateful to have had her see me.

Dr Andino saw me at a very short notice as I was having significant difficulty with my hearing aid.
As usual she was attentive, & handled my problem effectively! Hearing life at James Street is well run, & patient oriented. As a physician myself, I would rate my clinical care is always top notch with Dr Andino.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Kaleigh Andino at Hearing Life for approximately 5 years. I’ve purchased a premium grade hearing aids.

And during all this time, She and her staff have been outstanding.

I’m very happy that my primary physician recommended her to me.

I would likewise highly recommend her to my family and friends. She is very knowledgeable and professional .

I was seen in a timely fashion. Dr. Katrina Smith was amazing. Explained the tests that she conducted and answered my questions. These are very important issues for any patient and for that reason I say she is amazing. I love my hearing aids. The front staff was very professional and the office was very neat and tidy.

I highly recommend them to anyone having hearing issues.
