Had an episode where around 8 pm one evening, I lost nearly all my hearing in my left ear. The next morning, my hearing was better but thought I should get it checked out. I got an appointment at Barranco in Sebring. Upon arriving, I explained my situation to the nurse practioner and was sent for a hearing test. Results were the same as past hearing exams-and, frankly, I felt this test was unnecessary. Then I was sent to see Dr. Merritt. First impression when he walked in the room was he was a "pretty boy" who just walked off the golf course. Asked me about my problem (as if hadn't even consulted with the other two technicians to whom I'd told the whole story) then said unless it was occurring right now there was nothing he could do. I then told him I had tinnitus and he said there was nothing I could do for that disorder, just had to live with it. What a jerk! He spent maybe 3 minutes with me and then I was out the door. I don't usually write reviews-but find it important to share bad experiences when encountered. In this case, I would highly advise anyone against using this clinic. I found them to be more interested in charging you for services you don't need, then pushing you out the door. read more
