We quickly got an appointment where Dr Parini cleaned her ears, made adjustments and repairs so when we left, mom could hear again. She is also very knowledgeable of how to navigate the Kaiser system and helped us with a plan for future care. We paid out of pocket since Kaiser will take much longer to be seen and mom couldnt wait that long. Absolutely worth it!

I chose Walnut Creek Audiology because of the reviews on Yelp, and I am glad I did. From the moment…read moreof my first phone call, I was treated with respect, as if I really mattered. When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted warmly, and I doubt I waited more than a few minutes to be taken into the exam room. From there my history and questions were answered, followed by comprehensive hearing testing, and I truly appreciate having the tests explained as they were administered. Results of those tests were also clearly and specifically presented to me, along with the options I had going forward, Needless to say, I was impressed. I left hearing so much better than when I first arrived, and I will definitely be back when the need arises. Thank you, Walnut Creek Audiology, for a first rate experience, and thank you, Yelp, for steering me in their direction.

That advice, from a friend, led me to the Better Hearing Center more than 10 years ago. I bought my 1st pair of hearing aids from that center, where I was tested and obtained very specific results regarding my hearing loss and the possibility of assistance through multifunctional hearing aids. The Audiologist, Ms. Flores, is extremely proficient and familiar with specific hearing loss and electronic assistance through various make and models of hearing Aids. It's always a pleasant medical appointment and the staff is both friendly and professional, i recommend the Better Hearing Center for all medical hearing tests for Everyone. In this day and age, hearing the exacts words spoken is crucial to daily life.

I recently had the opportunity to meet with Valerie Fitzgibbons, who is a professionally trained…read moreaudiologist with Hearing Science of Walnut Creek. After having a recent hearing test and speaking with my doctor, I had to find a reliable and dependable hearing aid provider. I met with three different hearing aid service providers in the East Bay. My experience with Valerie was exceptional. She explained everything to me and compared it with my hearing test results to give me professional guidance on what would work best for me. We discussed a particular hearing aid make and model I was interested in and she gave me a reasonable and fair price. She did not try to pressure me and was very helpful, friendly, and supportive. In the end, I did not end up using Hearing Science of Walnut Creek, only because I found another provider, which is closer to my residence. Otherwise, I would be using their services and expertise. I highly recommend Valerie Fitzgibbons and Hearing Science of Walnut Creek.

My husband recently switched to go here from another audiologist and has only amazing things to say…read moreabout Greg. My husband has had a difficult time with the transition to hearing aids: he started needing them in his forties which was emotionally challenging. He finally accepted the need, but then had a series of issues. When his last pair of ($7k!) hearing aids started to die (just out of warranty), he found a pair of hearing aids he was interested in called Oticon zeal, and found this audiologist with competitive pricing and incredible customer service. It's so refreshing to have my husband have so many positive things to say about his experience with both the hearing aids AND the audiologist. Greg is super candid, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. Dare I say I almost look forward to needing an audiologist myself (haha).

Long story short, Dr. Breitling ended up speaking with me for 15 minuets and explained why I was experience the issue I had and that I likely do not need a new brand of hearing aids. He was extremely helpful, well beyond the service I received with my previous audiologist and I should point out that he did all of this for free over the phone. He even asked about my insurance, which he unfortunately for me, is not in network for, but nonetheless, provided me with excellent advice. I can't imagine any other professional doing this. I had to write this review as my way of thanking him for his time. As other reviews have stated, not only is he a competent Audiologist, he is a very nice and personable person.

After meeting the staff and the…read moreaudiologist, Christine Mahon, I found them to be friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. After reviewing the results with my doctor, I found it necessary to accept that at this stage of life, I need hearing aids. I met with Christine, and she thoroughly explained the process and the various hearing aids that would meet my needs. She worked with me and has provided exceptional service and care. Prior to committing to Diablo Hearing Services as my hearing aid provider, I checked out two other local Bay Area hearing aid service providers. One, I found to be very questionable and did not go forward with them. The other was equally as professional as Diablo Hearing Services, but due to their location, Diablo Hearing Services, their staff, and Christine truly met my needs. I highly recommend them.

I feel fortunate to be in their hands with my hearing concerns. Betty Christensen Alamo, CA

It is standard practice in any medical office for staff to identify themselves when answering the…read morephone. Many of us need to document who we spoke with, and providing one's name is as basic as confirming any element of communication. When I called this office and politely asked the MA for their name, I was met with attitude and a snarky "How may I help you?" simply for asking a basic question - he tone and unprofessionalism were what stood out. Upon further review, this doesn't appear to be an isolated incident--this type of attitude seems to be commonplace at this office. If multiple staff are responding this way, it suggests a larger issue with office stress levels, training, and customer service. Patients and caregivers deserve courtesy, transparency, and respect, not pushback for asking standard, reasonable questions.

My mom is in her 80s and was seen at John Muir for memory issues. What I want to say very clearly:…read more A person with memory issues does NOT REMEMBER that they can't remember. I went with her and very clearly stated all of the issues in front of both my Mom and Donna S. Donna S suggested that her other doctors consider prescribing Donepezil - for memory issues and an amyloid blood test. However, when she went to Sherille Sevilla and Maridez Jenkins she does not remember all that was discussed and agreed. She tells them all that she was tired when she did the 3 hour assessment and it was not valid. I don't know why the doctors don't coordinate more and understand the report and all the notes. It is very clear from both the assessment and my statements to them that she has severe short term memory issues. The fact that instead of using the assessment and my very specific details they listen to her when she says that she is fine (because she does not remember anything) is just ridiculous. My understanding is that many of the prescriptions for memory only stop the progress. This means taking them sooner is better. This is not the first signs of memory issues for her at all. This has been ongoing and I finally had hope that doctors would help her and start addressing the issues. But they COMPLETELY FAILED us. Now I don't know what to do. She thinks everything is fine and it is truly terrible and sad. She was a college professor and incredibly smart. And her decline is awful - but made SO MUCH WORSE by doctors who do not coordinate and do not listen.
