Testimonials
“Prior to seeing Dr. Houser I was suffering from chronic ear pain and constant infections. Instead of pushing medications and supplements, Dr. Houser spent time examining my ears and talking about my diet. I’ve been dealing with this issue my entire life and have suffered through many painful cleanings. Dr. Houser’s exam and cleaning of my ears was gentle and painless. I highly recommend her for anyone suffering from chronic infections and pain. ”
