“I worked first with Dr. Thorpe, and now work with Dr. Pulido. I am living in a whole new world, now that I can hear well. My ears are small, and I could not get the molds to fit without pain. But both doctors worked and worked with me, ordering new molds repeatedly, etc., to get things right. I give HearCare the highest possible recommendation!”
“My hearing aid broke and Dr. Pulido took excellent care of me even though I did not have an appointment. She gave me wonderful curbside service in less than a week. She was outstanding!! Thank you very much!”
“I had to deal with another company for three years and in that time they weren't able to get my hearing aids to work properly. I went to see Dr Jeffry Olson, and in 1 visit he programmed them and for the first time in a long time I can hear well. ”
“Dr. Jeff Olson is, by far, the best audiologist I’ve ever had and I’ve been wearing a hearing aid since my early 30s, over twenty five years. He took the time to explain the newest features and made recommendations based on my hearing loss. And, he doesn’t push a particular brand but wants to match the patient with the best hearing aid for them. I’ve had several audiologist and several different types of hearing aids and am so pleased that Jeff is now my audiologist. Highly recommended. Plus, he goes on missions to help youth in other counties, which is to be commended”
“I am most satisfied with my experience with Dr Olson. He is very thorough, takes his time, answers any questions and makes my appointments comfortable, enjoyable, valuable and equips me to hear as well as possible. I am always happy with my appointment.”
