    Dear Melonie Marple, Au.D. CCC-A, Director and Board Certified Audiologist, owner of Audiology and…read moreHearing Solutions, Inc. It appears that you are incorrect and mistaken in your statements and please remember it was your choice not to be available to talk to us in our many attempts via phone and in person at your office in Winchester. Happy to see that you have time for us now since it involves the Yelp review. Your statement: I apologize that your insurance gave you bad information - Dear Melonie, BCBS told us two important points 1, we have a hearing test for $0 cost to us for the entire family and 2, BCBS confirmed that the test would have been free if Audiology and Hearing Solutions would have performed that free test vs the comprehensive test. That still stands today with BCBS. Your statement: But to set the record straight, your children had hearing concerns that necessitated a diagnostic evaluation. - Dear Melonie, why you either did not look at your records or ignore what's in your records, that is entirely your call. Your records should show that the reason we all went for the free hearing test was originated by me telling my Husband, he can't hear me. That was also a discussion point with one of your doctors when my husband was asked "why are you getting the hearing test done, do you have any symptoms or concerns". No, there was no concern about our kids having any hearing issue, the kids got tested because BCBS told us everyone in the family can get the free test. Your statement: I complete testing based on the patient's needs not what an insurance company dictates. - Dear Melonie, we scheduled and got confirmed the free test with Audiology and Hearing Solutions. At no time did we receive any information from Audiology and Hearing Solutions that this changed until Audiology and Hearing Solutions invoiced us, nearly $800. Your statement: If I did not do this, then I would not be following my code of conduct and ethics. This is in no way taking advantage of you, I do not know anything about the insurance plan or what they pay when I complete my testing. I do what is best for the patient. - Dear Melonie, this is not your hospital environment anymore, you decided to have your own practice and I will follow up on my reading on your ethics and business ethics. Your statement: Your insurance did pay their portion, and just so we are transparent, the deductible for you and your wife was $64.74 each and $150.15 for your children. This adds up to $431.78 that you paid, not $800 as you indicated in your review. - Dear Melonie, as you stated (your words) "... not know anything about the insurance plan or what they pay ...", still you are correct that BCBS paid you on the comprehensive test that someone at Audiology and Hearing Solutions invoiced to BCBS and, you are also correct that we got the subsequent deductible on the comprehensive test. Unfortunately, we expected our deductible to be $0. You publicly post what you believe our deductible was so why not post the payment Audiology and Hearing Solutions received from BCBS for the comprehensive test vs the payment Audiology and Hearing Solutions should have received on the free test ? Your statement: While I appreciate you indicating that our practice was a pleasant experience, I think this review would have been better placed on your insurance's review page. - Dear Melonie, I understand your position and your attempt to protect your business now, even true you don't know anything about billing, looking up records, engaging in conversations with customers that like to talk to you (prior to posting at Yelp) and that you have given us the impression that you see yourself as the "Dr. House" of audiology disregarding parents, customers and insurance ethics. The visits to your office can be described as pleasant. I can also tell you if you had discussed with us that you would like to proceed beyond the agreed visit parameters, we could have avoided this entire situation. So, NO that review is placed correctly with Audiology and Hearing Solutions. Our Family is happy that you are not a Dentist. I can just see getting my child back with braces when she was sent in for a cavity. I am considering contacting the governing agency for your license to practice because your belief in what is ethical should be reviewed.

    Dr. Marple is amazing! She is one of the best doctors ever. Mom saw her for a long time, and she…read morewas always listening to Mom's issues and helping her hear better. She understands her patients and is kind and considerate. We highly recommend Dr. Marple!

    Dr. Costello is an amazingly caring ENT who not only treated me when I first had symptoms of…read morehearing loss, but referred me when he knew I needed care at Mass Eye and Ear in 2015. Fast forward 6 years and I had lived through a medical saga that turned out to be a spinal CSF leak and I had to travel cross-country dozens of times for experts to treat that condition. Those doctors thought my hearing loss, tinnitus, and vestibular issues were additional symptoms of the spinal CSF leak, but after surgery to repair that issue, my ear issues did not resolve when the rest of the leak symptoms did. We thought maybe it was just damage from the leak that became permanent and I gave up on looking for different answers. That's when I made an appointment for a follow-up hearing test with Dr. Costello even though I hadn't seen him in years. I remembered that he was so kind and didn't think I needed anything more than testing to see if my hearing loss had changed any over the years. I brought all sorts of information with me regarding spinal CSF leaks so I could share my story with him and all that had happened to me and my case over the years In case he ever came across another patient like me. Not only was he open to hearing all about it, but he was excited to talk and learn more!! While I was speaking with him, he pulled up the imaging I had at MEEI years ago and realized almost immediately that I had a condition that was overlooked by the MEEI doctors that explained all my ear issues - hearing loss, tinnitus, popping, vestibular deficits, etc! He immediately realized that I needed to once again be seen at MEEI, but after I shared my concern about the previous doctor I saw there not telling me about the issue (semicircular canal dehiscence) years ago, so he personally called and got me connected with a doctor there that he really admired. She was wonderful, too! I am currently still going through testing at MEEI and a path forward for me is still unknown, but with Dr. Costello's keen eye, caring nature and follow-through, I no longer have mystery symptoms that may have caused me many more trips across the country and dangerous procedures, thinking that they were still due to the spinal CSF leak!! Dr. Costello cleared up so much for me and I will forever be grateful. Even if my continued issues are not able to be resolved, I now have answers and relief from the worry of not knowing what was happening to my own body and brain. I know that sometimes his daughters check the Yelp reviews, so if you are reading this - please know that your Dad is awesome and please tell him how much I appreciate him!

    I had a tonsillectomy on August 7nth 2023. I met with Dr. Brown who was extremely professional and…read moremade sure I was set up with the surgical coordinator to get this procedure done and over with. Sherri Morales, the surgical coordinator was extremely rude and careless. Every-time I had called her number to speak with her about my surgical time and or questions I had leading up to my surgery she had an attitude and no interest on being on the phone or in person talking with me, which is part of her job to remind you. The doctor/surgeon I had was Dr. Doolittle. I was prescribed 40 Oxy @ 5 mg and was told by one of the discharging nurses at Shields Surgical Center to take Tylenol every hour. My caretaker was there to receive the pain regime since I was still coming out of the anesthesia. By day 2 post op I was vomiting non stop and couldn't stop shaking. The person who took care of me as well as myself were greatly concerned. By day 3 post op I was rushed to the Hospital by ambulance closet to me, and had told them the type of procedure I had, as well as the pain regime I was directed to be on after surgery. I was overdosing and slowly killing myself without even having the knowledge of it. The doctor over at the hospital was greatly concerned for my liver and how much Oxy and Tylenol I was prescribed and being told to take. I was severely dehydrated as I didn't eat or drink knowing that I would throw it up due to Oxy and Tylenol. I also had a UTI. Dr. Doolittle had instructed me to NOT take any Ibuprofen or Motrin because of bleeding. The doctor at the ER told me otherwise. I left the hospital after being on an IV, prescribed nausea meds and as well as a new pain regime which consisted of Tylenol and Motrin/Ibuprofen every 3 hours switching them so I get a little bit of something every 3 hours. ENT were very quick to send my bill to me. I had spoken with Jennifer and had a referral from my PCP sent over to them as well as insurance to cover the bill. A week went by with no phone call back from them regarding the bill, including no e-mail or mail sent out to my address. I called them to make sure everything was squared away with my bill. It wasn't. Nobody called me to let me know that they needed another referral from my PCP. I am now 1 month post op, and on my right side of the back of my mouth (where my tonsils were once located) I still have a chunk of tonsil that was not taken out. I have relocated since my surgery and am now going to have to find a new ENT doctor to fix Dr. Doolittle's mess. I am so frustrated as this was my first surgery ever and no one took care of me like I thought I would be taken care of here. My anxiety about this surgery was extreme, I got sedated before surgery because of the stress and anxiety I was having while nurses and the anesthesiologist were prepping me before I went under the knife. It takes a lot to trust anyone when you aren't conscious enough to be able to trust them visually. Please take this as a precaution before entering this office and receiving treatment.
