Talk about custom care! Drs. Kim and Andy listen carefully, get to know you as a person. They custom fit, they make sure everything works, and welcome return visits to make double-sure that the hearing aids support your individual life-style. Friendly, patient, expert--how could it be better?

Dr Valla gave us something that money can't buy in today's medical world. Generous time, thoughtful analysis, and most of all empathy for what it means psychologically to experience hearing loss in the aging process. My husband initially resistant like so many people and vaguely suspicious about the cost of hearing aids, Dr. Valla took the time to help him understand how hearing loss taxes the brain and increases aging. We had a wonderful experience in a difficult process and we both recommend him without reservation. Linda Mornell

I had struggled for years with a hearing aid that didn't match my needs. I went to Marin Hearing and Emily put me through a thorough set of diagnostics and provided a solution that is orders of magnitude better. I can highly recommend Emily - the results are fantastic.

My experience with Marin Hearing Center and Andy in particular has been awesome. Andy cares deeply about his profession and helping hearing challenged people like me. He's knowledgeable and thorough and I am so fortunate to have Andy as my audiologist. I cannot recommend Andy and Marin Hearing Center highy enough. They are true caring professionals.

Andy was very kind, a good listener, understanding, thorough, knowledgeable and clear in describing test results/the reason for a referral to an ENT.

Great cusomer service-0+ mn

Dr Andrew Valla and Marin Hearing Center are extraordinary professionals who have provided me as their client exceptional hearing aid services. I am a retired otolaryngologist with many years experience and have the highest regard for this Dr of Audiology and his staff.

Dr. Andrew Valla is an immensely knowledgeable hearing specialist. I went to his office with a tinnitus problem and a significant decline in my hearing, especially in my right ear and in higher frequency sounds. Dr. Valla analyzed the problem with sophisticated computer-backed equipment and fitted me with devices that restored my hearing. It took several steps, however, and I was welcomed back at no additional cost to examine the issues and adjust the device programming until everything was right. My hearing aids are "tuned" for my needs and are completely invisible in my ear canals. Marin Hearing Center has been great for me.

I've been totally deaf in my right ear since I was 4 years old. At 49 I finally decided to explore hearing aids. I was disappointed with the options/service at Kaiser. A friend suggested Marin Hearing Center and I was blown away. Andy was great. After a hearing test/consultation I decided to get a hearing aid with a cross. The prices and service are better than Kaiser. The results have been incredible. I'm able to hear much better now and wished I had done this years ago. Well worth the time and money. Marin Hearing Center... Ya hear me? Now I do.

My doctor is so knowledgeable that he was able to see me through some serious learning curves. I highly recommend the Marin Hearing center, they not only know how to help you but they also take the time to make sure you know also. I walk out of their office feeling upbeat everytime knowing I got the best from them.

Andrew likes to be called Andy!
Not only is Andy just a great guy, the amount of knowledge he shared and the education he gave me was invaluable. It took us awhile to find the devices that really worked for me, but the options and thus, the choices he patiently provided to me were amazing. I had not been to an audiologist (in my many years of having to see audiologists) who spent the time and effort in giving me the gift of markedly better hearing than that which I had prior to finding this office! High recommendations!!

Superb service and care. I have seen 3 other audiologists and this one is absolutely the best

Working with Dr. Valla and Marin Hearing Center for the past two years has been incredible. He brings so much experience and care to every appointment. I can't overstate how pleased I am with how we are working together to address my significant hearing issues thanks to his expertise and care.

I first contacted Marin Hearing to get support for a hearing aid issued to my 92-year-old father by the Veterans' Hospital Auditory dept. in SF. Although we weren't customers when I walked in I was treated like one. Excellent support by Robin at the front desk who handled our needs expertly, quickly repairing my father's device (no charge). Also, because my father recently had a poor experience with a similar business in Marin, Robin's support made the experience even more appreciated. A simple act that had a big impact and created a new loyal customer. Thanks Again!

SUCH great things to say! I was so impressed. I never write reviews but I genuinely had an amazing experience here and had to write one. The doctor was genuinely interested and talked with me about everything, explained what all the graphs meant, and was overall so nice. Can't recommend more! Also I didn't feel rushed through at all like at many other dr appts, it was so great he really took his time and did a thorough job. It was great.

DR ANDY VALLA, NEW LOCATION, SAME GREAT CARE
Dr. Andy Valla has moved to Marin Hearing Center and he is giving the same great care with patience, expertise and professionalism. Nothing has changed with Dr. Valla's great care other than he is giving it in his new setting in Corte Madera. I highly recommend Dr. Valla and Marin Hearing Center and their great staff.

Marin Hearing Center and Dr. Valla have been incredibly helpful, effective and generous. I have nothing but praise for their services. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have received Dr. Valla's first-rate care. Highest recommendations!

Kim Hoppin is a great audiologist. I have been extremely happy with her level of professionalism and her expertise. She is very patient and understanding which is really hard to find in a medical clinic these days. She is also very friendly and easy to talk to. I have been very happy with her services and strongly recommend her.

Andy is excellent, attentive, understanding and knows his stuff

I was very impressed by Andrew Valla and his staff. He was patient, attentive with probing questions and answers. One of the best experiences I've had with a medical professional - would high recommend.
