Patient Reviews
Mar 13, 2021
I can’t say enough positive reviews about Dr. Ochi! My daughter was diagnosed with sudden hearing loss during the pandemic. It was extremely scary for all of us knowing her hearing might never come back. Dr. Ochi took the time to explain everything from possible causes to treatment now and in the future. He is extremely knowledgeable at what he does and is very compassionate! He took the time to answer all our questions. We never felt rushed. 10/10! He was worth traveling almost an hour for each visit.
