I have been replacing hearing aids, eye glasses, oxygen machine etc etc. My Dad had his hearing aid but it was plugged and not working. I contacted the makers and their office wanted to charge me $95 for an office visit with additional charges to clean and replace tubing. I saw on line that Alison was near where I moved my parents. I walked into her office with his hearing aids and explained the situation. She asked me to come back in 30 min. Upon my return, she had cleaned and replaced tubing as well as put in new batteries and charged me under $10. I thank you Alison and highly recommend her. She clearly cares about human beings and not just the bottom line!

Avoid West Coast Hearing and Balance Center if you value honesty and basic respect…read more I paid my grandpa's copay in full ($65) and I have the receipt to prove it. Despite that, the office later tried to claim we still owed an additional $10 and even threatened to refuse to see him unless it was paid. That alone is unacceptable, but the way the situation was handled made it far worse. When I tried to calmly explain and show proof, the receptionists ganged up on me, spoke in a condescending tone, and dismissed me like I was being unreasonable for questioning their mistake. Instead of taking accountability or even attempting to resolve the issue professionally. This felt less like a simple billing error and more like an attempt to squeeze extra money out of patients, hoping people won't push back. It's incredibly disappointing to see this kind of behavior, especially when dealing with elderly patients who rely on fair and ethical treatment. Between the poor customer service, lack of professionalism, and questionable billing practices, I would not trust this office. There are plenty of other providers out there who treat their patients with respect but this is not one of them.

Went for a hearing test only to be referred back to the primary care physician for hearing aides. Does that sound right?! Primary Physician referred us back to West Coast Hearing and Balance for the hearing aides. The misinformation doesn't end. It's hard to get in touch with them, because they use an answering service during business hours. Spoke with their answering service operator who told me that my appointment was good to go, but was later rescheduled. Received misinformation from the referral department on if the insurance covers the hearing aides. After going back and in forth in being told the hearing aides were covered by Medicare and then they were not covered I found out they were ultimately not. I was told by their front office the primary physician did not have the correct referral the day of my appointment, I called in the morning and told for a hearing aid evaluation I shouldn't have a problem. I showed up for the appointment was told I had to reschedule, because the referral from my primary physician was incorrect, and was threatened with having to pay for the appointment even though I we showed up and they rescheduled it. Oh, they don't have an office manager onsite for complaints. Their front office is unprofessional and ghetto. If I can give that place zero stars I would.

I have been to many hearing aid centers over the years and none of them begin to compare to the service I receive at this center. John's competence is second to none!

You also cannot ask for better service and support in terms of how the office is run. Megan makes the appointments etc. and she makes everything so easy.

Years later I found out from Evelina that he had given me the cheaper pair I had not wanted. I agree with another poster that he does a bait & switch. It's all about getting your money while providing you with a lesser product. I'm going to Costco this time. At least if you're not happy, you can actually get your money back. Kiley B does not give you the money back, but says he'll put you in a higher-quality hearing aid which is a lie....it will be the same low quality. Also, they will say they don't have software to adjust your hearing aids because they want you to buy new ones. Be VERY careful & get other opinions before plunking down your money.

We have recommended them to everyone we know and will continue to go to them for any hearing aid products or services we may need in the future. I HIGHLY recommend them! Please note, I wanted to see why this company wasn't rated higher (there should be all 5 stars!). What I found out is that Yelp decides which reviews should be shown and instead of choosing more recent positive reviews, puts one up from a few years ago with a really negative review and THAT was under a different ownership. I am posting those reviews here in the name of fairness. And NO, I do NOT own this business. I just feel like great companies should have fair reviews!

I was lucky to to meet Evelina Anusauskaite on my first visit. She sold me my hearing aids, and has maintained them since then.
