“The office staff were kind, polite and Helpful. Dr. Stephan Chan took time to inquire about my health and hearing. I felt valued and comfortable talking with him.

“So refreshing to find a Dr. who is extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable...and VERY compassionate. I was fitted with the Lyrics and Dr. Lam did extensive programming to fit my needs - hearing conversations and diffusing restaurant noise. Can't say enough good things about her. The Lyrics are life changing for me - you can't even tell your wearing anything.”

“The last few months I’ve noticed onset of tinnitus, so I met with Dr. Wareham for consultation. He is very professional and easy to talk to, and he scheduled a hearing test for me. Immediately after the test, he explained the results and we have a plan moving forward. Very glad he’s my doctor for this issue. ”

“I just had my first-year check after receiving my hearing aids 1 year ago. Dr. Lam was very kind and professional over this past year and was excellent in helping me decide on what hearing device would best suit my needs. I have been very happy with the service provided and the politeness of their office staff. ”

“With the help of Doctor Lam, she conducted the test for my hearing and was able to find out i have a hearing loss and so she recommended that i need a hearing aid to support my hearing. While we are waiting for my permanent hearing aid, i was asked to use a temporary one, and it feels great that i can hear so well now. Thank you so much! ”

Dr Lam, her technicians, and the office staff are the greatest!”

“I wanted to get a baseline gauge of my hearing, since I'm an audio engineer. The office staff was very helpful. Hang Lam, the audiologist, was a tremendous joy to work with as she knew her craft excellently, answered all my questions, and made me feel comfortable and I was able to really enjoy my time there! 5 stars, and will for sure be going back when I need to. Professional and wonderful!”

“I have had hearing problems for quite awhile. I knew I needed hearing aids but wanted the testing to learn how bad I was. I had a really fun experience with my "girls" doing the tests and really appreciated the help they gave me in explaining everything to me.”

“At this website I see all these glowing reviews of what a great and wonderful audiologist Hang Lam is. If you have already read them, you can skip mine; I am in complete agreement with them. She's professional and personable at the same time, thorough-going in her testing and diagnoses, patiently explaining everything I need to know about these "instruments" that we all hate but can't imagine living without. And I can't imagine going to anyone else.”

“My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Lam for a long time now. I don’t think we could have made a better choice! She is amazing! She is extremely meticulous about fitting us right and making sure that we are 100% satisfied. She will keep trying different models until she finds the one that is just right. Dr. Lam is so patient when teaching how to put the hearing aids in, how to adjust them, etc. If one of us has a problem, she gets us in as soon as possible or she manages to make us happy some way or another. We highly recommend her!”
