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.

When he arrived, they got his ears cleaned out (he said he could hear in 3D when that was done) and did the molds to the specifications of the earplug company.

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.

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.

It was never scary to go to the doctor when I knew I was going to go see her. I don't know if this is still true, so be sure to call and ask, but when I was a patient they did pretty much everything right there in-house. They did vision and hearing tests, immunizations, wellness exams, drop ins for sick kids, and urine tests all right there in the office. I really have nothing but happy memories of her office, which is saying something if you know how miserable kids can be when they're sick.

Terrible and dishonest customer experience, and would not recommend. We're sticking to in-person support with reputable companies.

Teaming up with PenguinSmart to give me tools and resources to help him gain speech skills has been a real lifesaver. Although he is unable to interact with the SPL Therapist or Coach himself, I am able to execute what they give me to help him improve. They offer several ways to stay connected and to keep track of progress, they also require homework and ask for communication. It can be time consuming but it is only so they can provide the right type of support as he progresses. They are very understanding and want you to be successful! Our meetings have been 100% virtual which has worked wonderfully for my family. Scheduling is easy and all the associates I have worked with have been very friendly! If you have a child (or adult) with speech needs, I highly recommend you partner with PenguinSmart!

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.
