Patient Testimonials

  • “I was referred to Dr. Sam by my ENT who suggested I get a hearing test. Both Dr Sam and Lori (office manager) are very kind and responded to my emails super quickly which I appreciated. Dr Sam did my hearing test and thoroughly explained everything as I had not had a hearing test before. The whole thing was painless and Dr Sam is super personable and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking an audiologist!”

    -Ashley D.

  • “I had the best experience with Dr. Johnson. Being my first time measuring my hearing, Dr. Johnson was professional and patient, listening to my concerns and answering all my questions regarding my hearing issues. I highly recommend this audiology office.”

    -Clara U.

  • “My grandmother came to see Dr. Sam and he was great. He was honest and compassionate, and he really took his time to make sure my grandmother was well taken care of. We will be going back when she needs a hearing check up again!”

    -James H.

  • “I went to this practice for the first time yesterday. I was fitted with new Phonak hearing aids. I used to wear Resound. Dr. Sam Johnson and his office manager Laurie (sp) were pleasant and professional. My new hearing aids are fantastic. I was put through a standard hearing test to determine the extent of my hearing loss. The hearing aids were initially set to the test results. Dr. Johnson took it one step further by inserting a fine tube into each ear to measure what my eardrum was actually picking from the new hearing aids. This allowed him to fine tune my hearing aids. Dr. Johnson had also helped me set up the bluetooth connection with my phone and provided me with a cheat sheet for the app and the hearing aids as well. One other fact that I found cool was that most of my hearing aid adjustments can be done remotely. I'm not 100% sure this is true of all brands but it did influence my decision to go with Phonak. I noticed that he also specializes in Tinnitus treatment. He related to me that there are plenty of treatment options available now, and there are a number of treatment options on the horizon.”

  • “Dr. Sam Johnson is excellent at his job. He very accurately evaluated my hearing while being well mannered and respectful to me. Also, the office was very clean and inviting.”

    -Richard R.

  • “Dr. Sam is so knowledgeable - my mother has been having some hearing issues and he was able to quickly explain our options and made us feel taken care of. Would recommend.”

    -Morgane C.

  • “I met with Dr. Sam today for a tinnitus evaluation. After many hours of research and reviews, I felt confident in booking an appointment with Dr. Sam. I had no idea that when I opened an inquiry via the website I would receive a response from Dr. Sam himself. That in itself is very impressive. Any follow-up regarding my appointment was handled professionally and in a compassionate demeanor by Lori. Dr. Sam is extremely down to earth, has an excellent bedside manner, takes the time to listen, and makes it a point to ensure all of your questions have been answered. He's very knowledgeable and excellent in his field. I felt at ease when I left his office and more confident in the testing and information received.”

    -Brett S.

  • “My old hearing aid provider closed shop in Concord and I was referred to their Pleasanton office. As I live in Walnut Creek, it was a bit too far for me to drive all that way. I set up an appointment with Dr. Johnson to re-calibrate my HA's and set up a relationship with a doctor of audiology in my neighborhood. I'm impressed with Dr. Johnson and the care he provided. I also had tinnitus with hearing loss and he addressed both issues. He listens to his patients and was very easy to talk to as well as work with. He and his staff are fantastic to work with professionally, plus they're nice people. Walnut Creek Audiology will be my go to place for hearing service.”
