Hi there!

Im Charlie, MD and registered hearing instrument specialist working in a private clinic in Guadalajara, i havent been practising for long; I could use some help.

I treat mostly with spanish speaking patients and some English-speaking patients. Can you help me out with these questions?

As a patient, what makes an appointment and the clinician remarkable? What makes you go again and feel comfortable?

As a clinician, in your experience, what’s the most important takeaway for keeping patients happy besides best care procedures?

Gracias for the help!

I like having a good relationship with my audiologist. Explaining what is behind decisions, explaining test results and implications, etc. Foundations for trust, friendship, and respect. Reasonableness in being available near appointment times.

For those who are reading this post. In order to fit hearing aids in Mexico you need to go to medical school, etc. Mexico is one of this rare countries in which Doctors fit hearing aids, to much surprised the number of the hearing devices sold per population is quite small.
