The services I've received at Kos/Danchak changed my whole world. I can now hear again. The special interest that Dr. Danchak places in her patients is truly remarkable. I am grateful to have been referred to her by a friend."

I can now hear every word my grandkids say. In a crowded place I am able to hear people across the table."

I was amazed by the difference in my hearing abilities. I just wished I would have done it sooner. The staff was very friendly and provided straight-forward answers to any questions I had."

Our experience with Kos/Danchak spans many years. We know that we can depend on receiving excellent service - in appointments, waiting time in office and clear, helpful information about our specific needs. On every visit we experience the caring professionalism that gives us confidence to know we are in good, caring hands for betting hearing."

Prior to obtaining hearing aids, I was almost always asking whomever I was with to repeat themselves. Plus, whenever watching TV, I needed the volume much higher than was comfortable with fellow TV watchers. I no longer have to try to lipread what people are saying. My experience with Kos/Danchak has been excellent."

So very nice to find a business that cares about their customers in such a professional, courteous and friendly way in this world today. From their office staff to my audiologist, everyone deserves an A 5 plus. Thank you Kos/Danchak for a wonderful hearing experience and improvement."

They did a great job and they handled everything very professionally. They did all the tests needed, they checked and rechecked everything, and they were very friendly."

They got me in right away. My audiologist was very knowledgable and thorough. I would recommend Kos/Danchak to anyone having concerns about their hearing."

They performed the best hearing tests that I ever had. Staff is friendly and remember to call you by your name when they see you. The products they supply are truly cutting edge technology."

A very pleasant experience all the way around! Staff is friendly and professional, and Dr. Danchak was very thorough, and seemed to be very engaged with me on what I needed, what was available, and then helping me make a practical decision."

Thanks for helping me with my hearing aid insurance and getting me fit correctly. It is so nice to be able to hear again!"
