Optimum Audiology Patient Review

"Dr. Finnegan and his staff are the best! They are hands-on and attentive whenever I have a question or need assistance... I am grateful that Dr. Finnegan has stepped in after Dr. Shurson left."

Chris H. (Visalia Hearing Center Patient)

"Every time I had an issue with my hearing aids they would send them out for repair and I would be without them from 2 weeks to over 2 months and I would have to call them all the time to get updates on them."
