    I'm giving this place two stars instead of one because I do believe the audiologist staff is…read moreknowledgeable. However, there was a lack of sincerity and transparency with this vendor along with some sketchy sales tactics that I did not appreciate, which ultimately led me to buy elsewhere. If you want to know a couple of details, read on.... For starters, the audiologist would only give approximate costs even though I referenced an exact make and model. I asked about cash discount possibilities and was told there were no discounts and that the price was what it was (about 6K). But during my second visit (and third correspondence), I was offered a $1000 coupon discount because they were running a special during that month. That was puzzling to me, as it was the 21st of that month, and she could have easily informed me about the "special" during my first meeting over a week earlier; only after they determined I was not an easy-sell did they offer the coupon. But her insincerity was what really burned me. On her initiative, the audiologist offered to send me home with a trial for a "long weekend." She told me that if I did not like that make and model I could try a second. Up to that point she was VERY informative and helpful.... After attempting the second trial, I returned the next morning per my appointment and informed her the model would not connect with my iPhone as it was supposed to. I was ready to buy them if I could actually test them with my phone, as they worked well otherwise. However, she replied, "Sorry, I need these back now. Usually a patient knows if he is going to buy right away, but after ALL of your trials, it is clear that you are not really ready to buy." Even though I had repeatedly told her I was impressed with certain aspects of the products, she told me that she had been in audiology for over twenty years and could just tell I was "not ready to buy." That tactic is of course called reverse-selling, also known as the take away technique, which is a risky technique used to persuade clients when they are perceived to be non-committal. By "taking away" the possibility for a client to buy, you hopefully persuade him to ask you to please sell the product to him, which speeds him up into buying. She also had the audacity to tell me that my situation was unusual and that they didn't normally offer out-of-office trials! However, she OFFERED me those trials after I had told her it would be great to try the hearing aids out in real life. Up to that point I was ready to buy, but I recognized the sales tactic for the psychological manipulation that it was, and it burned me that a company that typically works with older patients who are often uninsured for hearing care would use such a tactic. The audiologist then backpedaled, offered an apology for possibly misreading me, and proceeded with the sale since I had told her that I did want to buy. She then "reminded" me that I could swap out a model for a different one after a purchase, a fact that she had NEVER told me previously. I rarely write bad reviews for vendors (I think two negatives my whole life). I have researched this industry, and it is apparent that the markups associated with hearing aids are huge and that sales are commission-driven with the hope of quick sales. Regardless, I later purchased elsewhere from somebody that offered the same products with ongoing support for less who also provided the transparency of the process that was sorely lacking from this vendor.

    McLaren Northern Michigan is systematically destroying health care in northern Michigan. We are…read moreblessed with many great Doctors, however, the extremely low rates of pay and low hiring standards have equated to rude, untrained, and unprofessional staff members. I recently had a miscommunication issue that resulted in me not getting to see my Doctor. The receptionist was very rude and could have cared less about my need to see my physician. When I finally talked to the office mgr. I discovered she was given an untrue account of what happened. Then upon speaking to the other receptionist in the office she had a totally different account of what had happened. I alerted the office mgr. and also have moved my complaints up the ladder. My punishment for voicing my concerns about rude dishonest staff members is that I can no longer see my Doctor. In my opinion, if you really like your doctor in the McLaren organisation, keep your mouth shut and remember, YOU CANT FIX STUPID!!! I also suggest getting everything in writing from office staff if you want proof of what they say. Its a shame that the physician in a practice has no control over the staff that serves them. Instead they have incompetent egotistical idiots that just remove patients from the practice, rather than admit their faults. Charlevoix and Munson are not that far away. I want to remind people that the docs are great, this is my experience and in my opinion our community deserves better.
