I rarely have been so impressed with a business as I am with Shelley Walz of Optimal Hearing. I had two hearing aids with problems, one which was not working at all and one which was working, but was missing a part. I had taken the hearing aids to another audiologist who told me that repairing them would cost in excess of $800, and clearly wanted me to buy new ones from her. She even was unwilling to send in one at a time, so I decided to go to Optimal Hearing, which was recommended by the company that made my hearing aids. Shelley spent over a half-hour and fixed the one non-functioning hearing aid and found the missing part for the second, and put it on. Given that I had not bought the hearing aids originally from Optimal Hearing, I expected to pay a significant bill, but she did not charge me and said that she got the parts free from the company and was glad to help. We discussed the pros and cons of getting a new hearing aid, and she did not recommend my doing so, as long as I was hearing well with the ones I had. She very clearly put the welfare of the patient, me, ahead of profit, and was very knowledgeable and professional. I plan to keep her as my audiologist for all subsequent needs for hearing aids. I would give her six stars out of five if I could!! read more
