A founding principle of Kingston Ear InstituteTM is that patients pay for the publicly funded healthcare system, and they deserve a system that works for them. Wait time reduction is a critical component of providing high-quality care. Kingston Ear InstituteTM has significantly reduced wait times and believes in transparency to better inform your choice of healthcare providers.
