Brianna Thomas

Patient Services Coordinator

Helping people with hearing loss is something Brianna was born to do. Growing up she designated herself as the personal “translator” for her profoundly hearing-impaired mother and she brings that same compassion and understanding to our patients. Bri makes clear communication her priority! When she’s not helping our patients hear better you can find her casually falling from ceilings as an aerialist or practicing her Japanese speaking skills. “こんにちは!はじめまして!

I appreciated Shanes honesty especially with dealing with Blue Cross/Nations Hearing coverage. Easier to go without the insurance because, in the end, they are the same price.
