Dr Norma Camacho-Townsend is the best audiologist and has such a large and caring heart for her patients. She will search for solutions other audiologists would not even consider worth their time. She doesn’t give you the most expensive device, but the one that will serve your needs best. If something goes wrong, she will advocate for you. I travel across many states to come see her.
