I rarely leave negative reviews unless the experience is genuinely concerning. Unfortunately, my…read moreinteraction with Sonus Hearing Care in Chula Vista was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. The receptionist, Bertha, was rude during our phone conversation and ultimately hung up on me while I was trying to seek clarification regarding my mother's diagnostic follow-up. Instead of clearly explaining that my mother simply needed to follow up with her ENT physician, the communication was vague and alarming, leading my mother to believe she may have a serious medical condition. Proper patient communication is critical in healthcare, and this situation was handled very poorly. What made matters worse was being told that "next time, come with your mom," rather than providing a respectful and clear explanation over the phone. After the call was disconnected, I attempted to call back multiple times and received no answer. My associate then called from another line, and the clinic immediately answered on the second attempt. Dr. Hohner eventually took the call, but instead of acknowledging the receptionist's behavior or attempting to de-escalate the situation, the response felt defensive and dismissive. At no point did I feel that accountability or professionalism was demonstrated. Given the clinic's already low public rating, I now understand why many patients appear frustrated with their experiences here. I sincerely hope management reevaluates staff professionalism, communication standards, and patient relations moving forward. For anyone seeking hearing care for themselves or their loved ones, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a clinic that prioritizes professionalism, compassion, and clear communication. Based on my experience, I cannot confidently recommend this facility to others, and I will not be returning.

Absolute garbage service here including from The manager? All she cares about is making money, and…read morespeaks to people as if they are below her... TRULY SAD. People like her do NOT have the heart to be in any health care associated business. Elaine, I highly encourage you to reevaluate your business and your demeanor- or retire and let someone else with compassion take o. The whole office in general is unprofessional, you won't even get greeted or treated with respect. Take your business elsewhere, especially when caring for your loved ones. EXHIBIT A: This place really is something. I'm sorry Tyler, but when I receive messages like this- I have no care to talk to anyone there. Especially when your manager disclosed someone else's personal info because for the record I'm not the person she refers to in a message she sent me from her personal account- I've uploaded the picture. That's pretty concerning.. and this message is ridiculous. I'm happy, don't need her condescending words. I left a review about your business and not looking for A cyber bully situation. Like I said, get a manager who doesn't think she's above everything.

My review is based on the scheduling experience I've had. I had been trying to contact someone at…read morethe office to schedule an appointment as a new patient and have had challenges. I had to call multiple times over a 3 month span before I was able to successfully schedule an appointment. During one of the calls I had where I was actually able to speak to someone, I asked if I could receive a call back to gather more information they were requesting as I was driving, and I was told I'd receive a call back within 10 minutes but no one ever called. Made multiple additional calls and left multiple voicemails with no luck until one day someone just happened to pick up my call. Before this, the call typically goes to voicemail or you get transferred to an operator who takes your message and states someone will call you within 72 hours, which never happened. I finally was able to get the appointment scheduled a few months out and a week before my appointment I receive a call that my appointment has to be rescheduled due to construction taking place in the office and I have to wait another two months before I am able to see anyone. Scheduling with this location is a nightmare.

When I realized I needed help 4 years had passed and I was informed my hearing aids were past warranty. Now I would need to purchase new ones which I can't afford. I would have gladly complied to come in for those check ups had I known to. I would think that somehow in that time post my purchase that someone would have noticed I had not been serviced. Basically I fell through the cracks. Very disappointed in end result.
