Patient Reviews
Jun 08, 2024
I called Dr. Bush because of lost hearing in my right ear. He fit me into his schedule that afternoon. He prescribed treatment for wax buildup in my ear and removed the wax and restored my hearing two days later. He and his staff were efficient and compassionate. I felt respected and very taken care of.
