“It is always a positive experience at Park Place. Dennis and Laura are genuinely interested in improving the ability to hear easily. I particularly like the quarterly check ins to make sure everything is performing satisfactorily.”

“Laura and Dennis know the technology needed to keep today’s complex hearing aids, iPhone controls, and TV boxes working properly for their clients. More importantly they communicate effectively how we can manage these devices better on our own. Over the 25+ years I’ve had hearing aids, they have provided me the best service of any vendor I’ve experienced.”

“Great experience all around. Laura, the audiologist, was thorough, helpful, pleasant and accommodating. Her recommendations were spot on and she also helped with all insurance logistics smoothly. Office staff are super friendly and gracious, as well. Both office locations are great. ”

“Dennis and Laura and their staff are always kind and friendly and are always ready to check that my hearing aids are working well and at the optimum for me. My recent visit was to set up the Oticon Companion software. I was satisfied with the sound settings from my previous visit last spring. My hearing aids are very satisfactory and I've seldom had to contact Park Place. They're the best.”

“I have relied on Dennis for 9 years, following him from Pinole to San Rafael, requiring a 60 mile round trip drive; i have total confidence and so much GRATITUDE for his endless, cheerful support and assistance in staying current with advances in technology! Most recently, during a quarterly follow-up, I didn't even tell him what my "issue" was, but he and Laura immediately detected a problem with my hearing aids' function, and confirmed the problem i'd been noticing...then provided me with loaners, while they sent my aids in for upgrade.
I will always remain a loyal and thankful patient; the support at Park Place in INVALUABLE...as is the very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.”

“Always the best service from Laura. She’s very knowledgeable and makes me feel confident that I’ll get the best hearing device for me. I’ll be getting a transmitter for my bad ear that will transmit sound from that side to the hearing aid on my right side. I didn’t know about this feature, and I am excited about getting my new hearing aid.”

“Knowledgeable, kind, patient doctor AND staff! I highly recommend them.”
Susan P. of Novato, CA 12/21/2022 Review submitted online
“After a over a year and a half of loving my hearing aids, I started thinking that my hearing was getting worse so I scheduled a new hearing test.
Everyone at at Park Place Hearing Center is so friendly and helpful, they didn’t just listen to my complaints, they actually heard my concerns and acted to alleviate them. Dennis checked that my ear drums were okay—-although there was wax blocking one ear, and he removed the wax without me having to make a separate visit to an ENT.
Laura realized during the test that the ear phones were closing off my ear canals (especially the left which is narrower).
Because I cannot stream with my hearing aids through my PC, I use head phones. A few months ago, I purchased a noise-canceling headset which is so tight that it compressed the ear canals and made me think that my hearing had diminished. Problem solved!
Knowing that my hearing has not changed took away my worries and I left their office feeling happy and carefree. I highly recommend Park Place Hearing Center.

“Super informative and professional staff, from moment I stepped through the door. Getting tested helped me learn about the medical treatments available and understand what my options are. I think all seniors who have concerns about their hearing could benefit from this evaluation.”
