time she did diagnostic audiology, rehabilitative audiology and was instrumental
in developing a pediatric test program and in designing a pediatric test
facility for them.
In 1983 she joined the staff of Whittier Hearing Center. She was the
first audiologist in Whittier to provide both clinical/diagnostic services as
well as rehabilitative audiology. Over the years many of the
local hospitals and clinics have contracted with Whittier Hearing Center because
of Dr. Gilbert’s expertise and reputation.
Dr. Gilbert has considerable experience working with difficult hearing
losses. According to her “I enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of solving
difficult problems. There is nothing better than the smiling
faces of a patient and their family when we finally get them hearing well
again.”
Mary Ann has two grown children and two grandchildren.
She is active in a variety of local civic organizations. When she is not
playing with the grandchildren you can find her curled up in her room reading a
good book.
