He did an unnecessary procedure in order for me to use a placebo machine that caused me near 5k in debt because none of it was covered by my insurance. He had no real solutions to my condition that he diagnosed me with with zero testing in a matter of minutes from meeting me.

Dr. Michael Olds is the kind of doctor everyone would love to have. I experienced a stopped-up Eustachian tube and hearing loss in my left ear, with increasing severe headaches through the years. Other ear doctors had dismissed it as water in the ear from swimming or taking showers, with no further tests or follow-up. Dr. Olds was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to listen to me, run tests and identify what was causing my difficulties. His tests determined that I had a hole in my cranium that was leaking cranial spinal fluid into my ear canal. He recommended me to an excellent surgeon, and 2 months post-surgery I have no further difficulties with my left ear. For the first time in years, I have hear clearly and have no headaches related to fullness in the canal. You can tell Dr. Olds has a sincere interest in the wellbeing and recovery of his patients. I am forever grateful that out of all the potential ear doctors in the Spokane area, Dr Olds was the one I selected. I highly recommend him, and you too will appreciate his expertise, and the time and care he spends with his patients.

First time seeing Dr Olds today. Went in because my daughter had failed a hearing test so I just wanted to make sure everything was ok. Hearing test went great =) Went in to speak with dr after test and he checked everything out on her, although it was not what we were there for he noticed her tonsils and adenoids were large. He asked if she snores and has trouble sleeping (tosses and turns) he recommended to watch her sleep and see if there is any apnea going on and advised that taking tonsils and adenoids out might be In the future (which I had to have done as well). He was wonderful with my girls. It was a great visit, And I will take his advice and watch her sleep to see if the surgery is needed. Nice to know he took time and checked everything even though we were there just for hearing.

When we brought our boy to Dr. Olds he was deaf in both ears. The surgery Dr. Olds preformed was a miracle. Our son can now hear and is learning to talk. Dr. Olds is honest, sincere and clearly very caring. To "recommend" him would be an understatement. His staff is well trained, warm and helpful.

Dr. Olds is a very decent guy. He never talked down to me and made me very comfortable. Someone told me he had the best training for ear surgery in the region.
