Audiologist Kirsten McWilliams is Now a Doctor Cliff AuD Approved Provider!

June 25, 2020

We’ve got great news to share with you. Our very own Dr. Kirsten McWilliams is now “Dr. Cliff Approved.”

What is the “Doctor Cliff AuD Approval?”

This approval is an amazing opportunity to let our patients know that their health and wellbeing are our number one priority.

Dr. Cliff took it upon himself to go around and check in with practitioners to make sure they are following all necessary standards to fit and program hearing aids with one thing in mind…” The number one factor on how well your hearing aid works isn’t how good your hearing aids are - but how good your hearing aid professional is.”

Why is this so important?

Your hearing aid professional needs to be able to fit your hearing aid correctly. Unfortunately, not all healthcare professionals abide by industry standards.

Over 70% of hearing aid professionals do not follow best practices - which is why Dr. Cliff has taken the time to give the mark of approval to those who do.

With Dr. McWilliams, you can trust that your hearing aids will be fitted and programmed correctly and that the hearing aids you receive will work efficiently and give you the best opportunity to enjoy life to its fullest.

At The Hearing Solution, we are here to provide you with expert care 100% of the time.

An introduction to Dr. Kirsten McWilliams

If you’ve never met Dr. McWilliams before, here’s a brief summary of who she is, what she does (and why she does it).

Kirsten grew up in her mother’s audiology practice - developing a passion for helping others from an early age.

She graduated from UC Davis with a Bachelor of Science and initially worked at her mother’s practice as a hearing aid dispenser.

Returning to school, she completed her fellowship at UC Davis Medical Center and received her Doctorate in Audiology from University of the Pacific, San Francisco.

Dr. McWilliams specializes in tinnitus management, cochlear implants, and the fitting of hearing aids. She takes her work very seriously and always puts the needs of her patients as top priority.

We are thrilled she has been approved by Dr. Cliff and can continue to provide her patients with fantastic treatment.

If you need to get hearing aids fitted, schedule an appointment with us today and Dr. McWilliams will be happy to help you.

One of the nicest professional places I have ever been. Very pleased and would recommend their services to anyone.

I loved everything about my experience with Hearing Solutions, Everyone is so nice and very accommodating through the whole process until we secured the right fit for me. I recommend The Hearing Solutions to everyone that has a hearing problem!!!

On time, patient and caring. Seems very knowledgeable.

I just participated in my first lip reading class with you. Wow! I am so grateful for the quality job you do in teaching me over zoom, how to better focus, hold and remember information. As I grow older (everyday!) I find my attention, patience and recall not working as well as I am used to. Thank you for teaching me such valuable lessons. I look forward to continuing with you!

You are tops!

The staff was pleasant, friendly, professional and explained the whole process. I could not have expected better service.

A great visit, I learned a lot and of course, would highly recommend it! Looking forward to my next visit on the 8th. Am hoping to get the recipe for the best peanut butter cookie I've had since becoming a celiac too. Thank you Rita Thompson Thank you, Rita Thompson

The staff is professional, thorough, and gracious. We could not have been happier. You are also met with refreshments and lovely sweets in the waiting room, the entire space is clean and beautifully appointed. 10/10.

Very friendly staff and goes that extra mile to make sure you have what you need. Thank you so much.

From my 1st appointment with Dr. McWilliams I knew I was in good hands. The level of care she provides is unmatched. My Urroz was also extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

The process of evaluation was very professional, comfortable, and unrushed. Kirsten is very easy to work with. I understand why Dr. Chang recommended her. All of my questions were answered in a clear manner, and I am confident in the process. My interactions with the office prior to the hearing evaluation were excellent. I look forward to the next visit. Best regards, Bill

Very pleased with her professionalism.

Very professional and kind.

Friendly, professional, and honest. They hugely helped me navigate what steps to take to improve my misophonia (not tinnitus)

The office and staff were very nice. It is a very pleasant atmosphere. I saw Elizabeth and she was very friendly and professional. I enjoyed my visit and plan to return next month for a follow up.

Going in is a pleasure. Everyone is courteous and makes you feel welcome. Very knowledgeable, helpful and timely. What more could you ask for?

Provided a full and extensive hearing exam and matched a hearing aid that best met my needs. No high-pressure sales. Very friendly and professional. The hearing aids take a little to get used too but very happy. I Can hear out both ears for first time in five or six years.

I can not rave enough about the Hearing Solution in Sacramento. The staff is so friendly and efficient and you feel at home the minute you enter the office, The expertise of the audiologist and the technical assistants is superior. The “techies” are especially patient and are available to help you most any time. You will never leave there without your hearing needs being met.

I left your office today without the opportunity to say thank you. I just wanted to write and tell you that my appointment today was by far the best experience I've had with any audiologist in my 20+ years of hearing loss. As I write this I am listening to Schubert songs and hearing them better than I have in years. No distortion! And German text fairly understandable, especially given my old, weathered, damaged ears. Thank you so much for your patience and your incredibly positive attitude throughout the process today. Looking forward to seeing you next week!

Hearing evaluation and updates to existing aids. Fabulous results!

I felt that my concerns were listened to fully. And I quickly realized that I could benefit from Kristen’s level of professional skills. And where else would a staff member flag me down on the street to make sure I found the right building! I felt so pleased and comfortable in your office. Many thanks! Betsy Major

Very friendly environment. Helpful and knowledgeable about hearing issues and resolution. I felt right at home here.

As a physician, I am very particular about precision, attitude and patient care. I have had hearing problems for a number of years but was unsatisfied with my experience at Costco and the Major HMO in the Sacramento area. My experience at The Hearing Solution was dramatically better. From diagnosis through explanation through the careful trial periods of different brands the excellence of service, attentiveness to care and flexibility of service was outstanding. There is absolutedly no comparison between the mass market approach and The Hearing Solution. I would not have believed that the process of finding the proper hearing aid for myself could be so radically better. The Hearing Solution gets my highest rating.

Excellent, knowledgeable, professional, lovely. What else is there to say.

Very professional, thorough, patient, friendly, educational and beautiful office setting. No pressure to sell a product, take it at your own pace. Highly recommend Kirsten and staff.

I am thrilled with the service, responsiveness and assistance The Hearing Solution provides me. The service I received from my previous audiologist does not come close.

Very professional and we'll be connected to processing claims for hearing loss with the Department of Labor

Last summer I took my near-deaf sister to see Dr. Kristen. Within two hours she did the test, reprogrammed my late father’s Resound hearing aids, cleaning, and fitting. She walked out of the office, could even hear sounds from her back. Yesterday during her second service visit, Dr. Kristen even helped pull out her ear wax in both sides. Not only did she restore my sister’s hearing, her gentle, kind, and caring manners build up my sister’s confidence. She could even do zoom Bible study now. A great doctor with a beautiful heart!
