I drive from East Mesa to see Dr. Olson. It's worth the drive because Dr. Olson truly works to get you not a good fit but a great fit. Watch his YouTube videos and you see that he does his homework. He's a one man shop but that's a benefit in getting personalized care. I've been to three audiologists this year and wasn't happy until I found Dr. Olson.
