Audiometry
A complete audiological evaluation measures the pure tones (both air conduction and bone conduction) of each patient's threshold of hearing. It also examines the word discrimination ability of each ear for the patient. We are also able to measure comfortable and uncomfortable loudness measures, which are important for hearing aid candidates.

Immittance Audiometer
This measures the middle ear pressure, typmpanic membrane mobility, eustachian tube dysfunction, continuity and mobility of the middle ear ossicles, as well as acoustic reflex thresholds.

CO2 Laser
The CO2 laser is used to remove skin lesions such as warts, sun damage spots, and age-related skin lesions. It is also very useful for removing and sanding scars and facial wrinkles. The CO2 laser with special attachments can be used to perform an operation to stop snoring called Laser Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP)
