Patient Reviews
Sep 08, 2024
The staff of H&NAOC was great and helpful from first check in to final post op recovery check up. Had my hearing and surfer’s ear checked and it was bad enough to warrant surgery. Balaker performed the exostosis removal procedure with ease at Hoag surgical center as an outpatient, and I was smoothly transitioned to recovery and given clear instructions and post op check ins. It went as smoothly as one could’ve hoped from start to finish and I was back surfing in 12 weeks. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
