In my opinion Dr. Arnold was very competent in compiling a complete history of my Grandson, including Health, Social & Environmental, in order to assess whether he would be a candidate for a Cochlear Implant! She made me feel comfortable during my visit, while making sure any questions were addressed!

Dr. Tava was fantastic. She provided an open and comfortable environment for us. She provided us with additional resources to better assist our situation. We look forward to meeting with her again!
