Based on a recommendation from a friend, I made an appointment for Dr. Sommers to have my grandma's hearing evaluated and get new hearing aids. My grandma is a tough cookie to handle and Dr. Sommers was kind, reassuring, and spoke to her like an actual human being. Unlike some other doctors we've dealt with who belittle her due to her age or difficulty hearing. We've had awful experiences with other hearing care providers in the past and my grandma was hesitant to even try again.
We're both so glad we did and that it was with Dr. Sommers. My grandma's hearing was much worse than we'd originally thought and it didn't help that she had some horribly programed hearing aids that weren't even strong enough. It is still an adjustment for sure, but now we can actually have a conversation! I'm able to speak to her in my normal voice! Although, according to grandma, my voice is too high-pitched for her taste. lol Thanks Dr. Sommers!

The office support is just not there. I'm doing the work that they are being paid to do. I do not receive calls back. When all has been completed, I desire to thank Dr. Shawn Rogers for helping me. She and the nurses have been great to work with. Hearing in my left ear is soo much better! I thank you more than words can say! Now on to hearing aids!

I was referred here by my primary doctor. When I called to make an appointment, they asked bunch of questions about it and I had to tell them to just read the referral. They put me on hold for a very long time and then came back only to say they did not accept my insurance, and then they hung up on me! How rude! I have United Health Care Community plan. The woman who I talked to didn't seem all that knowledgable or competant. I can't help but suspect she made a mistake. But I don't plan to call back after reading the other negative reviews.

Communication is in definite need of improvement in this office. My husband had surgery a week ago and today we found out he had multiple seizures during his surgery, and that they had to consult different doctors at Swedish. I sat in the hospital waiting area for over 5 hours and I was never told this happened. But according to the clinics administrator my expectations for patient care are too high because I also work in healthcare.

This clinic should be avoided at all costs. It took me several weeks for my mother to get an appointment with Dr. Backous. Once at the appointment we waited for over an hour past our original appointment time before we were finally seen by Dr. Backous. Similar to what others are saying- Dr. Backous was condescending, rude, and spent less than 90 seconds with us before telling us we needed to book surgery and then walked out of the exam room before we had all of our questions answered.
