"I had my balance and hearing tested today. Dr. Monica was through and made the process comfortable. The two hours past so fast. Every test was non stopping, and she gave great instructions. Her soft voice kept me from getting anxious. I do recommend Rocket Hearing and Balance for any issues you may have. Thank you so much for the whole process and being so kind."

"I went to Rocket Hearing & Balance because I was experiencing vertigo. Dr. Allgauer and the staff were absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so kind and professional during scheduling and the actual testing. Everything was explained so I could understand and I was treated with respect. My appointment started as scheduled and I got results quickly. I absolutely recommend this business if you are having similar symptoms."

"Dr. Allgauer was awesome! Very thorough, knowledgeable and more than willing to answer questions. She was kind and very pleasant to work with. Valerie, who supports the office carries the same approach, very pleasant, kind and thorough. This is a fabulous office and I would HIGHLY recommend them. Wish this team did more than hearing and balance :-)"

"From the moment I called for an appointment I was treated so well...Dr. Allgauer greeted me with a warm smile and said we're going to get you a correct diagnosis today. I immediately felt I was in the right place. She listened to me, read all my prior test results, and went to work. She diligently performed tests to narrow down the problem and provided a warm and comforting chat along the way. What a wonderful personality and down to earth doctor who truly cares. What a gem to find in southern Maryland."

"I was so very pleased with Rocket Hearing and Balance...Once I was in the room where the testing takes place, Dr. Allgauer described each and every test I was given and what it will feel like and how to respond as it happens. When each test or subtest was finished, I got a lot of positive reinforcement about the "job" I did during the testing...I got a written report that was also sent to my referring doctor by the end of the business day. That is unheard of and greatly appreciated."

"I was having issues getting approval for hearing aids from the insurance company and Dr. Allgauer went above & beyond on her own time to work with the insurance company to get me approved. Thank you for all you have done, Dr. Allgauer!"
