Kind, Courteous and Highly Educated in Their Field

I can't say enough about this office. Every staff member is kind, courteous and most of all highly educated in their field. Nothing is left to chance. My hearing aids are so fine tuned to get the utmost from them. These people love what they do and put their hearts into it. Wouldn't go anywhere else. They're the best and I have been to others that don't compare.

Dr. Bride did a thorough hearing exam on me, she explained results & answered all questions thoroughly. I was impressed with her background knowledge. She is helpful in guiding me through the decision of whether to get hearing aids or not. All staff were nice & helpful.

Friendly, Accommodating, and efficient

Everyone is extremely friendly, accommodating, and efficient. Dr. Draper and Kelly were great accommodating my 96+ mom for her annual test, cleaning and pairing of devices. Thank you for everything that you do.

Claudia A.

Outstanding and very patient

I was referred to Adept Audiology for the second time for hearing issues for my military service related issues. The first was to get a Nexus report done for military loss, which gained me another 20% disability rating after the VA initially denied it. Then today I came for several extremely specialized tests to try to determine the cause of my sudden hearing loss in January and loss of balance. Both times the doctors and staff were outstanding and very patient with answering questions. I highly recommend them.

Scott M.

Thorough, competent, & technically knowledgeable

This was my first visit here, after years of marginally satisfactory impersonal service at a previous audiologist in Sarasota. Dr. Bride and staff were thorough, competent, technically knowledgeable and above all, caring about my hearing situation. My wife is happy that I have a new audiologist!

Richard M.

100% satisfied

100% satisfied, Dr. Bride and the entire staff were professional, knowledgeable, and made my wife and I totally comfortable throughout the entire experience. My wife absolutely loves her new Resound Qutro 9 hearing aids. We also acquired a TV box that I needed to contact Resound customer service to install. 5 stars for their customer service department, also. We highly recommend Adept Audiology.

Madeline C.

Adept Audiology helped improve my home life

Just moved from NJ with a pair of hearing aids that were not functional at all, to the point where I stopped wearing them. At the urging of my wife I called Adept Audiology, was tested, diagnosed, and I am now the proud owners of hearing aids that actually work!!!

The Doctor and her staff are very professional, knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable. The call to Adept Audiology helped improve my home life as now my wife doesn’t have to repeat things multiple times or scream at me. Thank you Doctor and your very capable staff.

Dr. Bride is not only good, she is AWESOME!

I may not be able to hear like normal people; one reason I am very particular who I choose for my hearing assistance. Having this disability my whole adult life, I can ascertain who is both credible and knowledgeable about hearing disabilities; was grateful to find Doctor Lyndsey Bride at ADEPT Audiology. She keeps abreast of the fast innovations in her field of expertise; both medical and technology. If you want an expert to assist you in your disability, I strongly recommend Dr. Lyndsey Bride at ADEPT Audiology. If you are veteran, she very knowledgeably about many service related hearing disabilities. Dr. Bride is not only good, she is AWESOME!

Jerry G.

Such nice women, a pleasure to work with

Dr. Bride is wonderful. She really knows and understands hearing issues in us older adults. Love the hearing aids she recommended. I find them comfortable to wear–I forget I have them on. I especially liked that she introduced a bit more about them at each subsequent visit instead of overwhelming me with all the details at one sitting. Eve, her secretary/receptionist is equally helpful and knowledgeable about hearing aids. She is able to fix, repair and replace batteries, battery doors, ear pieces easily. All in all a very positive experience for me. Such nice women, a pleasure to work with.
