I was patient and figured I'd try but warned him that at this point, my insurance ends in 10 days so will I be able to try these out before then? Well no, we don't have anything for you to try. But we will look into insurance. ? Of course , they are working on that. A week passes and I call, no one has looked into insurance, my policy benefit has just 3 more days . Fast forward 3 weeks, the "starkey salesman " who did my hearing test calls to tell me that I don't have that benefit with that insurance. Correct, not anymore. They cost me thousands and no explanation or apologies, just rationalization and lies. It was unprofessional and scammy. I don't get it. They had an easy sale . I was even willing to buy their Starkeys.

This is a very helpful audiology office - and audiologist. I agree with the other reviewer who…read moresaid that Dr. Robin Solomon is a class act. She is terrific - and her new office is in a convenient location right near the Wilton campus of Adirondack Community College. I had been one of her patients at The Hearing Shop (Wilton Medical Arts/Saratoga Hospital) and was very disappointed in the hospital when they closed that office depriving me and everyone else of Dr. Solomon's talents. My hearing aids needed service and the hospital would not/could not provide the warrantee service that I had paid for. I went to another audiology office in town - but it was just not the same. I guess I was spoiled and hadn't realized just how good Dr. Solomon is. As luck had it I encountered Dr. Solomon in town while she was doing some work with a local charity and she told me that she was in the process of setting up a new private practice. I'm thrilled because I need to replace my hearing aids soon and there is nobody I'd trust more than Dr. Solomon. If you need help with your hearing or hearing aids - this is the office to call.

They're mostly very old and from my recent experience, they're now undeserved. The staff has been professional and helpful, even in the situation where a patient is telling them he doesn't believe they did the work that they actually just did (lengthening wires). And others are there claiming their aids don't work when in actuality the patient hasn't been cleaning them to remove ear wax. Still, the tech and audiologist remain calm and professional. I also like having drop-in hours during the week as well as excellent Oticon hardware and careful fitting. Hearing clinics scare me similar to car salesmen. This office doesn't fit that prejudice.

Currently, I just purchased new hearing aides and was told they wouldn't charge me until after I got the hearing aides. I was charged $7K that day anyhow, which was fine I would have to pay it sooner or later. Then 3 weeks later when the hearing aides arrived they wanted to charge me again. I stated that I already paid for them 3 weeks ago and to double check their records. I was also told that the insurance company would refund me and send a check directly to me. Note never believe a company always check directly with your insurance company. Never happened! The insurance company sent the check to them which caused confusion on refunding the credit to a card that I was in the process of closing. The hearing aides....rechargeable hearing aides are much thicker than battery operated hearing aides. I was not informed of that until until I got them. The wires on the hearing aide were too long so they were not fitted properly. When I went back they stated the wires were too long and installed shorter ones. Still not fitting well and slipping our of my ear. I give up.... At this point its easier to bring everything back, get a refund and start over somewhere else.
