One suggestion I had an ABR test and was told it would take an hour so made arrangements for my pickup ride to be there in an hour. I was done within 15 minutes because I held still and then had to wait for my ride home. Wish I were told the better I held still, the faster the test would be instead of being told it takes an hour

I began seeing Dr. Angster in March of 2024 as I had been diaganosed with Sudden Sensorineural loss in both ears in which my hearing / speech reconition was rendered at 0% in my left ear and ~8% in my right, I had visited 3 other ENTs in January of 2024. Neither one of them offered any plan for care, nor hope except using hearing aids. I saw Dr. Angster in March and she immediately put me on steriods and steroid injections and we discussed options to improve my quality of life which included Cochlear Implant surgery. During that first first visit in March through each and every visit, she was always spent time with me, answered all of my questions. Her compassion for her patients is amazing, her passion for what she does is off the charts...losing hearing is a interesting and frightening journey..Dr. Angster alleviates put my fear and anxiety to rest as did her whole staff! I have never encountered such a wonderful medical experience in my life. Dr. Angster and her entire team are wonderful and truly had my best interest at heart...My wife and I cannot thank Dr. Angster nor her staff enough for their expertise, caring, compassion, honesty and kindness. I would highly recommend Dr. Angster and her staff to anybody who needs to see an ENT.

Dr. Angster is amazing, I had been recently diagnosed with Sudden Sensorineural hearing loss, by another ENT and have been to 2 others since and not able to get direct answers to my questions and the a treatment plan. Dr. Angster listened to me, explained everything clearly, put me on a treatment plan with steriods and steriod injections, scheduled a balance test, scheduled all the injection appointments and a cochlear implant evaluation and made sure I understood the plan. I cant say enough good things about her, I really felt like she was very Interested In my condition and most Importantly giving options and plan to Improve my quality of life. In short she is a great Dr.!
