I believe that far too many people suffer from hearing loss but also from inadequate, overpriced low value hearing services.

As a doctor of audiology passionate about the best interests of my patients, and patients to be, I keep up with the latest research, technologies, tips, tricks, and tools to not only thoroughly evaluate hearing and diagnose hearing loss, but also to rehabilitate hearing loss and other hearing disorders. I am an innovative provider and every patient and family is involved in their own care.

Whether you're the parent of an infant with hearing loss, a child with auditory processing disorder, or an adult who has given up on the things they love in life because of hearing loss, I am here for you - improving your life is my mission!

All of those achievements could never compete with her highest priority and greatest love: her family.

She is a lover of music, yummy food, Disney (and Disney World), Harry Potter, Star Wars, history documentaries, docuseries based on veterinarian clinics and zoos, and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
