Hello! My name is Dr. George Osborne. We are committed to providing you the most comprehensive hearing and balance care services available today. We have modern state-of-the-art computerized instrumentation for both the diagnosis of hearing and balance disorders and the fitting of sophisticated hearing aid systems. We provide a unique team approach in the diagnosis and treatment of problems of impaired hearing (ear problems which are medically or surgically treatable and hearing problems which require amplification and/or rehabilitation) or disorders of balance. Our treatment plans are tailored to the specific needs of each child or adult patient.

Patients are referred to us from physicians, medical centers, and health care agencies throughout the Commonwealth. We accept medicare, private, and managed care company insurances.
