Dr. Jane H. Baxter - Audiologist, Founder

​

I grew up locally in Los Altos. My father and grandfather were both ear, nose, and throat physicians. I earned a BS in psychology at UC Santa Barbara and went to graduate school in education and rehabilitation at UC Berkeley. After a brief career as a teacher, I went back to SF State University for my MS in audiology-communication disorders. Later, I earned a doctorate in audiology from Salus University.

​

I began my career educating deaf children and loved it so much that I continued my education in audiology. I spent my early years at Stanford University Medical Center and the VA Hospital. This gave me invaluable experience in dealing with the medical aspects of audiology. I became an early partner in Pacific Hearing Service because I wanted to allow the time needed to provide the best care possible for each of my patients.

​

Owning my own private practice allows me to create an environment that is welcoming and compassionate while setting the highest standard of patient care. Once PHS was established, I realized that I wanted more. In 2014, I became a founding board member of the Entheos Audiology Cooperative, which allows me to do humanitarian audiology in Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South America. This inspired me to start a local non-profit, Pacific Hearing Connection.

​

I am energetic and curious: I am motivated to work harder, dig deeper, learn, and research more until I have found the best possible solution for each patient. I am collaborative: I strive to promote a culture at PHS where we work together, learn from each other, support each other, and enjoy the company of co-workers. And I am caring: I enjoy building genuine, warm relationships with my patients and colleagues.
