Dr. Mary Kate Donegan, AuD., CCC-A

Originally from Chicago’s southwest suburbs, Mary Kate Donegan, Au.D., settled in Northern California after earning her bachelor’s degree and Doctorate of Audiology from the University of Kansas (Rock Chalk!). When she entered college, she liked to say that audiology found her. 

Growing up in a family where many struggled to hear, Dr. Donegan became aware at an early age of the impact and isolation of untreated hearing loss. With an inherent desire to help others, she relishes the opportunity to treat the unique needs of her patients. Whether she teaches her patients why they might have trouble hearing in background noise, understanding the cause of their dizziness, or providing hearing aid assistance, she loves that each day brings something new. Dr. Donegan is always striving to help improve the quality of her patient’s lives. 

When she isn’t working, she loves hanging out with her cat, Sylvie, exploring new places, reading, or watching movies and television. She also loves to travel, and each year tries to explore at least one new place in the United States. 

Dr. Donegan can often be heard encouraging her patients with her motto, “All we can do is give it our best shot.”
