Pacific Hearing Service - Menlo Park

Dr. Jane Baxter has been co-owner of Pacific Hearing Service since 1986. Her early interest in audiology was sparked by teaching deaf children in a K-3 class in her first year after earning a teaching credential at UC Berkeley. She earned a master’s in audiology at San Francisco State and, later, a doctorate in audiology from Salus University. Prior to PHS, Jane worked at Stanford University and the VA.

She participates in clinical trials, beta testing of new technology and collaborative clinical research. She served as treasurer of the California Academy of Audiology. Jane is on the board of directors of the Entheos Audiology Cooperative and is chair of its Best Practices Committee. Her latest passion is participating in humanitarian trips to provide hearing health care to people in Africa, the Middle East, and South America. She is the co-founder of the nonprofit Pacific Hearing Connection, which serves people in the Bay Area who otherwise do not have access to hearing care. At PHS, Dr. Baxter strives to develop and maintain a practice that offers a welcoming environment while providing the best care possible. 

Jane’s father and grandfather were successful Ear, Nose Throat physicians and now her daughter, Dr. Ariel Fruendt joined the audiology profession working on the faculty at Northwestern University.

Dr. Rebecca Dolan joined Pacific Hearing Service in January 2017, bringing over 16 years of audiology experience. Prior to PHS, she also worked at an ENT clinic and later as an outside field representative for a hearing aid manufacturer. This gave Dr. Dolan inside knowledge of how hearing aids are made and the research involved in advancing hearing aid technology. Dr. Dolan helped found the “Talking Heads” sign language group at California State University, Chico. She received her Master’s degree from California State University, Long Beach and her doctorate of Audiology (Au.D.) from University of Florida. As Dr. Dolan is a hearing aid wearer, she is passionate about hearing aids and aural rehabilitation. She enjoys helping her patients to hear better, understand their hearing loss and how to best communicate with those around them.
