Dr Maw took care of my health and helped me in the best way possible. I am very grateful. She explained procedures and gave me all the information I needed to make a decision. The surgery went well and she and her team are doing an amazing job.Dr Maw is very knowledgeable, professional and one of the best doctors I’ve met.

Office is clean, they abide by pandemic restrictions while giving their patients the best care possible. Dr. Inserra is excellent, thorough and takes the time to explain. Ive gone to a few doctors regarding my ear problems and have been dismissed each time until Dr. Inserra. Highly recommend this office.

I was very impressed with the thoroughness of both Dr. Maw and the audiologist. Too many doctors today spend all the visit with their head down typing; Dr. Maw, in contrast, spent a lot of time discussing many things with me. I was very happy with the care I received and will be going back.

Balloon dilation of eustacion tube. Pre-op visits were courteous and professional, the procedure went smoothly and results were very positive. Post-op visit smooth. I would not hesitate to go back to Ear Associates for any ear associated treatments. Great staff.

Well, Ive gone here for years with out any problems...or so I thought...I met with Maw MD and was very disappointed with her attitude towards me...as in reminding me that Ive been told these things before and havent done them all, and, that if I dont get hearing aids NOW, dementia will come faster than I expect (based on my week old test and prior tests). I left with the conclusion that a.) I was a waste of HER time...and that I had a LOT Of problems...I went in because my ear still has a nerve twitch in it which she did an immediate TMJ assessment, no adjustment, and said, Well, thats a disaster! what do you expect?...Yeah...Not returning E.V.E.R. Took my results to Costco in Santa Cruz, CA to the Audiologist there and they examined my results...conclusion...come back in 5, probably 10 years...your hearing loss is minimal and hearing aids would be an annoyance to your other range of hearing! N.O.T G.O.I.N.G. back to Ears...I will be requesting all my records sent to me to use in future appointment with another provider. Dr. Dear, my favorite, was kind, thoughtful, professional and is now retired, bless his soul. He always had me feeling valued and encouraged me to get what was on my mind checked out without me EVER feeling badly like I inconvenienced him.

My experience with Amazing Dr Jennifer Maw. My dad had been using hearing aid in the past and had pieces of hearing aid inside the ear and wax had accumulated over it. He lives outside US and comes to visit us once a year and i guessing his hearing aid was inside his ears for maybe over a year. I called and asked nearly 10-20 clinics and Dr and not only they said the charge would be crazy high but the representatives were not confident if they would be able to solve or help. When i called the Ear Associates clinic they immediately helped schedule our appointment and bearing in mind that my Dad did not have insurance here the cost would be high, we visited the Dr Jeniffer Maws clinic, when we actually saw her she was not only able to remove the 3 ear pieces from my Dads ears and clean it but also she end up not charging us a penny from us. What a great person and amazing Dr. Hats off Thank you ...Bless You !!!

Ive been seeing Dr. Maw for a little over 3 years for a hearing issue and I have always found the office to be extremely patient, attentive and thorough. Dr. Maw has listened to my issues and concerns and taken the time to explain matters to me. Dr. Maw has also been very accommodating, for example, helping to renew a prescription while she was on her Christmas holiday. And during COVID, the front office has worked with me to get my medicines filled when I havent been able to see the doctor personally. I had been to a few ear doctors prior to finding Dr. Maw and they dont compare. Im glad to have found Dr. Maw and highly recommend her and her team.

Review №21

Ive had ear issues since I was a child. Working with EARS made me understand just how to take care of my ears so I would not have to go every three months to get the GUNK sucked out of my ears. I was amaze at how easy it was for them to make me understand why my DRY ears fill with GUNK and how to stop using Q-Tips, which I was raised on... I love this place and say if you have a question about ears, they got the answer! Donnetta

Review №22

Dr Maw is an excellent surgeon and a great care giver. I had three other specialists tell me there was nothing they could do for my ear…meanwhile I had a chronic condition that could have turned out to be life-threatening had she not stepped in and fixed the problem… Her confidence and gentle bedside manner are truly exceptional… I would recommend anyone to her that needed an expert. Even Stanford had no idea what to do for me. She is truly at the top of her profession.

The experience of testing was all as expected but the PA I met with was not. He was very interesting talking about stress, posture and a ton of other things that could affect the ear ringing issue. He gave me a ton of resources to check out like Ted talks. Very cool experience compared to a typical doctor visit.

Great procedures for Covid-19. Facilities are clean and pleasant. Staff is excellent and very oriented towards the patient. Things were always explained so that there were no surprises during the procedures. Results were explained well. Staff has been very accommodating with the fitting and training with my new hearing aid. Recommend them.

I was seen by Dr. Farsi. I was referred to him by my allergist Dr. Goldsobel. The office is very good about having your hearing checked before seeing Dr. Farsi. I went there because a couple times a year I would get vertigo. Dr. Farsi helped me with some exercises to do with my head to help prevent vertigo. I would recommend Dr. Farsi.

Review №27

The clinical staff here are exceptional. I want to name two in particular, Behrouz Farsi, and Liezel Caliva. Dr Jennifer leads the practice and is excellent, but I see Dr Maw less frequently. I have the highest regard for Dr Maw, she is highly skilled diagnostician and very thorough Doctor.I see Behrouz regularly as I accumulate a lot of wax. He is the best! He cares deeply about his patients and his work, and has given me sound advice on related medical matters.Liezel has been helping me with some issues with my hearing aids. Incredibly patient, and really wants to make sure things are right, no matter what it takes. Beyond the recent technical issue Liezel makes sure any concerns are met, is an excellent communicator and has given me the best care possible.Until I can no longer get appointments with these people I trust, I recommend them without reservation!

This post is made on behalf of my husband and his experience at Ear Associates.I was blessed with good fortune on the day that I became a patient of Dr. Maw. She is caring, kind, gentle and understanding. Her questions are precise, easy to understand and, therefore, easy to answer. She listens carefully to patient questions until they are fully answered.I have met only a part of the support team that Dr. Maw has assembled and find all that I have met helpful and professional. Special mention should go to Behrouz Farsi who conducted an outstanding preop meeting with my wife and me covering a long list of items with detailed explanations. We left that meeting feeling very secure about the surgery which would take place a few days later.I can recommend Dr. Maw without reservation for the excellent practice that she conducts.

Review №31

My doctor highly recommended Dr. Maw after I had sudden hearing loss in one ear. The only course of treatment after trying cortisone shots and drops in my ear was a Coclear Baja sound processor, which required surgery. Dr Maw performed the surgery. I like everything about her. She is thorough, confident, kind, and a good listener. Everything one would want in a doctor.

Behrouz Farsi is THE BEST physician that I have ever experienced. He took his time, listening to all of my history and concerns. He did a thorough investigation of my ENT struggles and found/offered explanations that had perplexed me for years previously. He really gave me peace of mind ... and solutions! I will always be grateful to Dr. Farsi.

The services included a hearing test that was comprehensive and a detailed discussion of the test and the problem I was having with ear pressure.

I was treated for an ear condition in this center and The process of admittance diagnosis and treatment has been top notch. I was admitted the same day after giving a call to the receptionists and filling out history and COVID forms the receptionists fully complied with COVID guidelines and I was sent to be diagnosed. Behrouz Farsi diagnosed and treated me. He has been a very confident, elaborative, and observant. He explained what he is doing every step of the way and helped me with my treatment process. I am very happy that I chose this centers care.

Review №44

Dr Inserra is the BEST! I have a fairly rare condition with hearing loss, dizziness and migraines. I was feeling so poorly I thought I was going to have to retire. Dr Inserra listened and put me on a medicine and vitamin protocol that helped right away. Im back to my old self and working, exercising and gardening! The hearing loss was permanent, but the audiologists (Liesel and Daisy) helped me pick out a hearing aid and set me up. My hearing loss is single-sided and fluctuates a little so having their help and support was really useful. The front desk and aides are all super nice too. I highly recommend Ear Associates. This clinic has been a life saver for me!

Review №47

I first saw Dr. Maw for tinnitus in my right ear and after several hearing tests she recommended an MRI to check for a possible tumor which was rare. The results showed that I had an acoustic neuroma which is a tumor on the hearing nerve. I was then referred to Dr. Wong at the Good Samaritan Radiation Oncology center. There he worked with Dr. Maw to set up a Cyber Knife treatment of the tumor which took place over several sessions at their facility. Now four years later the tumor has stabilized and my symptoms are about the same as before the treatment which are hearing loss in the right ear and loss of balance on the right side. For the hearing loss was I was fitted with a Bi Cross hearing aid by Dr. Patil and given physical therapy at Vortex PT in San Jose. It was good that this was caught in time to prevent further growth of the tumor which was pressing on the brain. I am now back to taking long walks and bike rides and hearing conversations.

Ive been wearing hearing aids since an early age and when looking for a local doctor 18 years ago, Dr. Maw was recommended. She is caring, efficient, up on the latest technology and supported by an office full of people who make everything run smoothly. I have never been more happy with a professional. The fact that my hearing has been stable for all those years might just say it all. She has my highest recommendation.

Review №57

Ear Associates in San Jose is fantastic. You can get all your medical and hearing aids needs met here, as well as diagnosing and treating balance issues. Doctors Jennifer Maw and Michelle Inserra are wonderful ear specialists who were referred to me by my regular ENT doctor, a star in his own right. Lizel is my hearing aid specialist, is the best Ive ever encountered. I have have gone to a number of Bay Area Hearing aid practices and was dissatisfied with the level of expertise for fitting and servicing the right hearing aids for me and dealing with my medical ear problems. If you have Lyric hearing aids, this is the only hearing aid practice you should go to. Behrouz, is a wonderful physician assistant also great for dealing with medical ear problems.

And I have been going there for a number of years. My first doctor that addressed my BPPV was Dr. Deere he has since retired. I now am seen by Barus Farsi (I hope that spelling is correct) and surprisingly enough he is actually an upgrade from the wonderful care I received previously. Dr. Farsi genuinely cares about your health and bringing about a positive outcome concerning your health issues. Staff is uniformly friendly, helpful and competent.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jennifer Maw for many years. I had exostosis of the ear canal aka surfers ear, which ultimately required me to have surgery. Dr. Maw was amazing throughout the entire process. She clearly explained the surgery and provided me with all the information I needed to feel comfortable about going forward with it. The surgery went extremely well and I was back surfing within 2-1/2 weeks. Dr. Maw also has incredible emotional intelligence aka bedside manners.

I lost my hearing in my left ear overnight - a condition known as SSHL. I This condition is considered a medical emergency. After researching Otlogists in the area - I called Ear Associates and got an appointment with Dr Jennifer Maw the next day. She examined me and explained the best treatments available and started that day. I recovered a significant amount of hearing in the affected ear which I attribute to her prompt action. I continue to see her - where she answers any questions I have on my condition or the latest research into the condition. Their front office staff is warm and caring as well. I also have seen two of their audilogists - Dr Jacob and Ms. Caliva, Both are concerned for their patients well being and prvoide excellent care.

I am really happy with the care Ive had here. First of all, they are very timely. Im not sitting in an office for a million years. Second - the staff is very friendly, and very clearly care about patients. After my first appointment, they knew me and recognized me. Also - when you have a complication (my fault didnt follow instructions well after surgery) they were quick to act but didnt make me feel like the complete idiot I was. Special shout out to anjelica... She wins all the awards for patience kindness and humor. (As well as health knowledge). I cant say enough about how happy I am to be a patient of this office.

I have been so impressed with the services I have received from Ear Associates. Several family members have gotten their ears cleaned by Behrouz. He is so knowledgeable and he takes great care to make sure you are comfortable and can tolerate the cleaning. Through talking with him during these sessions I decided to finally get my vertigo treated. Behrouz has been AMAZING! Again, educating me and supporting me so I had complete confidence in his abilities. I suffered with vertigo for about 9 years and had great fears because it is so horrible when it activates. I am vertigo free now and have regained activities that I lost during that time. So wonderful! During our appointments it came out that I have significant hearing loss, and have had for my whole life. He gave me research and again, caring support and I made an appointment for hearing aids. I worked with Dr. Patil who is also wonderful, caring and knowledgeable. I am in my second month with my new hearing aids and I am so happy I got them . . . and my family is too! I was missing out on so much. I cannot recommend Ear Associates enough! Their front desk staff is also very kind and helpful. Just a great vibe in this office - and really knowledgeable, caring staff! Highly recommend them!
