Everyone at Garden State is excellent. I see Alina regarding my hearing aids and she always takes the time to make sure they are working properly and I have no problem. I highly recommend Garden State Hearing and Balance Center.

From the time that I walked through the door, to checking out after testing, I was treated professionally, kindly and with care. The front desk folks were very thorough and they made me comfortable right from the start. Dr. Alina Garrido was caring, explained all of the tests that I was there for, and what they entailed, and she was beyond professional every step of the way. I'm confident that Dr. Garrido did excellent work and I appreciate the work that she does. I'm so glad I chose Garden State Hearing & Balance Center!
