She was struggling with traditional hearing aids we bought from Costco because of masks and how difficult it is keep those on.

Not only are they easy to reach, but they schedule phone calls to patients so that you get in when you need to. The process for getting a hearing aid is simple, (hearing test, go over results, order the hearing aid) and most adjustments to it can be done to it remotely. They also gave me a little gift to celebrate my first one! Needless to say, I won't be going anywhere else for an audiologist!

She said "he was the best I've ever been too." My mom is profoundly deaf without hearing aids and has been since her 50s. She has visited numerous hearing aids centers over the decades, last most recent being Costco. Accompanying her to her appointment, I saw first hand the respect and professionalism Zach has. He knew how to engage my mom without embarrassing her because she needed a little more support in the process. His evaluation of her current hearing level was outstanding. I've never experienced that with my mom's other providers. When it came to the 'selling' of the hearing aids themselves, there was no pressure, simply a description of each type of device, how it would benefit her, and even what he wouldn't recommend because the device would be more than she needs in her life. The entire experience was great. I (and my mom) highly recommend Better Hearing Center and especially Zach!

After I had surgery on my ear and it didn't heal correctly, I was referred to Seattle Audiology…read moreAssociates where I met with Dr. Merrill Hill who helped me to be more optimistic about my problem, telling me that my condition was not necessarily permanent and that there was a good chance that a lot of my hearing could be restored, possibly with reconstructive surgery. That was inspiring because the last thing a musician/music teacher needs is to be deaf...partially or otherwise! My ear had a tube taken out and then it failed to heal properly - my eardrum now had a hole in it that made it impossible for me to sing or do music anymore. I couldn't even go to shows or movies without horrible pain and tinnitus in my ear. I was also despondent about the fact that I could not dive in the water anymore either. Being an avid swimmer who loved the water dearly, that was blow to me as well. It seemed like the two things that I loved to do most were suddenly taken away from me abruptly and I was heartbroken. Dr. Hill's kind words gave me hope. I eventually got a tissue graft on my damaged ear by a good surgeon and most of my hearing has indeed been restored. Dr. Hill gave me a hearing test after my recovery from the surgery indicating that the hearing in my recently repaired ear had improved greatly and he explained exactly where I stood in relation to hearing pitches and how it would relate to my profession. He was very knowledgeable and encouraging about my ear problem. He had special ear protective devices made for me allowing me to hear on music gigs without damaging my ears. He also had earplugs made for me to wear in the water so I could go swimming again, something that I absolutely love to do. Dr. Wuth, another doctor there, was great too and he has given me hearing tests in the past as well. If you are suffering with hearing loss and/or tinnitus, Seattle Audiology Associates are a good place to get help with hearing issues.

She is meticulous in her hearing examination and unlike Costco who tests your hearing with a single manufacturer's high quality hearing aide, Dr Ellis will test you on FOUR high end hearing aides from separate manufactures. She has found from years experience that there are four highest quality hearing aide manufacturers. Interestingly individual patients will hear better using a hearing aide from a single manufacturer. This can only be determined by objective detailed testing of 4 different hearing aides to find your best available hearing aide. In my case the Costco Hearing aide I was using was useless If you have significant hearing difficulties, I urge you to consult with Dr Sandra Ellis. I assure you that you simply can't do better!

Dr. Chan informed me "Here, I will get the camera so we can both see" and barely placed the camera inside my nose. The camera did not reveal any information Dr. Chan did not already have from the initial exam. I was billed $1200 for the visit. $600 for Endsoscopy (the brief camera insert), and $600 in facility fees. I consider Dr. Chan untrustworthy and misrepresents his work.

I opted for the Seattle - Ballard location over the Seattle - First Hill or Issaquah locations due to proximity to Shoreline. *Visit #1 initial consultation on 2/17/21, free street parking up to 4 hours. Masked, temperature checked, and socially distanced in a tiny reception area. Initial intake forms were completed. We met Dr. Chan and a medical transcription assistant in a clean exam room, all of us masked. Vitals and visual ENT observations taken. Observation concurred with the family medical doctor from PacMed. Professional demeanor and procedure explained in clear layperson's terminology. We spent more time in the waiting area, than the actual exam room. Despite having insurance coverage, the bill was over $300. Guess this situation is considered cosmetic, insert eye roll here towards Swedish and Premera. *Visit #2 actual outpatient procedure on 3/10/21, paid $1 for two hours street parking. Initially this procedure was scheduled two weeks earlier. Day of the procedure, I received a phone call two hours prior that Dr. Chan requested this appointment to be cancelled and rescheduled. I remembered being so annoyed because of the logistics to get that time off from work. Turned out it was a smart decision to reschedule, because the performed procedure should not be hurried and become a haphazard epic fail. Folks present in the clean exam room, were myself, the patient, Dr. Chan, his medical transcription assistant, and his nurse. The procedure used localized injections of lidocaine and patient was conscious throughout the procedure. I was given a handful of neosporin packets and the antibiotic prescription was phoned in to our local Bartell Drugs in Shoreline. I was present more for morale support, but as a science professional was observing the entire procedure like a hawk, and to comprehend the after care instructions. Dr. Chan narrated the procedure, did the least invasive but thorough extraction, and deft sterile saline rinse and suture closure. *Visit #3 removal of stitches on 3/15/21, paid 25 cents for 30 minutes street parking Folks present in the exam room, were myself, the patient, Dr. Chan, and his medical transcription assistant. Took only a few minutes, snip snip, a dab of neosporin, and all done. This was an uneventful procedure. No infection, no reaction to the antibiotic prescribed, thankfully. All done. Just glad the pathology report stated it was a benign dermal cyst. As long as I don't hear the words malignant or cancer, I'm a happy Mama Bear. I now await a whopper of a medical bill from Swedish and Premera. The Yelp reviews were across the board, which had me wary having Dr. Vincent Chan as the initial medical specialist referral. But for these specific three appointments, all of my questions on behalf of the patient were answered. I was satisfied with the final outcome. Professional, straightforward, thorough.
