We were pleased to see the new signs go up yesterday. They should make Berger Audiology a little easier to find. We were fortunate to be allowed to reuse the base signs and only change the faces, so that saved some expense. It was still significant since there were six separate sign installations required. We’re hoping the highway sign will be clear enough, though the lettering proved to be a little small. We think the facade sign came out nicely. We will also be adding an awning above the door which should provide a nice accent.
Becky has a full schedule this week and is interviewing for an assistant. Currently she’s handling the phones and check-ins while seeing patients, so bear with her. She’s definitely pleased with the number of former patients that have taken the time to track her down. In some cases they have waited for service until she got up and running which has been extremely humbling to her – though slightly ironic considering one of the reasons she chose to leave The Hearing Clinic and start her own practice was her concerns about the long wait times patients endured when attempting to make appointments.
Jeff Kenney did a nice article on Becky that appeared in last week’s Culver Citizen and yesterday’s Pilot News. She has sent cards out to residents in the area to let people know where she is. Hopefully this article with help with that as well. For those of you trying to find her, she’s taking appointments at (574) 935-HEAR(4327). Grant Munroe is working on a website for her at bergeraudiology.com, but that’s not up and running yet.
Thanks to all of you that have been supportive of her in this endeavor. Hopefully you can enlarge the article above enough to read it, but it not, let me know and I’ll send you a copy.
This is my Musical Recommendation for the week. Duke Tumatoe & The Power Trio will be appearing Friday Night at River Park Square. This is part of The Mayor’s Month of Music. Becky and I just recently went to see him in Monticello on the Madam Carroll. The music was good and the presentation was entertaining. You won’t be disappointed if you check out this free concert.

Becky saw her first patient today! Her schedule is starting to fill up next week. She’s excited!
She’s still struggling with some of the office management software, but she should have that under control soon. She’s gotten all her audiology equipment installed and has most of the support materials in place. Monday she has a fairly full day of patients. She’s looking forward to getting back in touch with the clients she has worked for over the past two decades.
Not the greatest picture, but this is a mock-up of the revised Berger Audiology sign at the new Pine Creek Center location. It’s at 2930 Miller Drive, the former location of Help at Home next to Edward Jones. We’re looking into an awning for the front. That should dress it up a little.
Becky is pushing to get open. She’s hoping that can be next week. Some equipment was installed on Friday and networking is supposed to be completed tomorrow.
