Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Omg! I am so lucky to find this Doctor. Dr.Kiringo
Omg! I am so lucky to find this Doctor.Dr.Kiringoda is a very friendly , understanding, kind person who completely changed my life. I have been wearing hearing aids for 10years. I did not know surgery would have been an option to gain my hearing back until I met Dr. Kiringoda. He gave a clear explanation of what was happened to my ears and how it can be done . He has been very professional and caring to walk me through my options; pre and post surgery care. I had surgery with him and it is like piece of cake. I was in operation theatre only for 2 hours and back to home normally. I just felt asleep when I woke up it was all done. After 10days post surgery, once the package was removed, the whole world became too noisy to me. (I am able to hear every small sound) And tinnitus has drastically reduced.I completely gained my hearing thanks to Dr. Kiringoda, I gained everything back. It feels so special to be 'normal' again!i. I highly highly recommend this Dr.kiringoda… May God bless him w

Great Doctor and great person!
Dr. Kiringoda has been treating me for a couple of years now for severe hearing loss due to autoimmune inner ear disease. He is always very good about explaining everything, is a great listener, and is just a really easy person to be around. He will be doing cochlear implants for me sometime later this year and I am so glad I have been seeing him as I have NO concern about the procedure. I have seen him in person, but he is really accommodating with video visits as I live about 90 miles from his Fremont office.

Great Doctor
I saw Dr. Kiringoda on 4/8/2022 for rapidly declining inner ear (neuro) hearing loss which has been difficult for local ENT/Otologist to diagnose. Dr. Kiringoda was able to give me a solid answer, which I have faith in. As for Dr. Kiringoda, he was great! He is compassionate, he listens, answered my questions, was empathetic to my situation-which I am rather stoic about and just accept and want to know what the plan of attack is and move forward, but appreciate many people need this, he takes the time to be sure you understand what your diagnosis is and what that means moving forward, and really just seems like a genuinely nice person who I would recommend to anyone who needed a neurotologist.

Dr. Kiringoda is amazing - he changed my life. I had sudden hearing loss and became completely deaf in one ear. Dr. Kiringoda was extremely sensitive to my concerns and truly walked with me as I considered the option of a cochlear implant. I have had the cochlear implant for almost two years and now have 95% hearing in my deaf ear - amazing. He is kind, patient, brilliant and compassionate with a terrific bedside manner - especially when one is facing a traumatic experience such as sudden deafness. I highly recommend Dr. Kiringoda.
