Reviews
Dodero Hearing Center Review
“He was very patient and very thorough. Very pleasant experience.”
“One of the best hearing centers on the West Coast. I highly recommend the Dodero Hearing Center to anyone who would like to hear much better. Dr. David Dodero is the best!”
“I can 'finally' hear all of the sounds and I no longer have to guess at what someone's entire sentence is. I've tried numerous hearing aids on the market but have never been able to hear consonants until I tried one's recommended by this center!”
“I like the thoughtful and comprehensive evaluation and follow-up care. Quick response to anxiety that comes with being new to hearing instruments. No question is too simple to be important. He is super!”
“The genuine concert for the patient. Every effort made to make sure I understood each little detail of the hearing aid and the patience the doctor had allowing time for questions without feeling "rushed." And also his encouragement! I would encourage anyone to go to the Dodero Hearing Center.”
