We don't stop at the diagnosis.
For many patients, the evaluation is only the beginning. When treatment means retraining your balance system, rewiring how you process sound, or working through the downstream effects of a brain injury, we have the specialists to do that work right here. No outside referrals. No gaps in care. Just a coordinated plan with everyone talking to each other.
Areas of Therapy
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a common and effective recommendation for certain vestibular and balance disorders. It works by retraining the brain and body to compensate for inner ear dysfunction. Getting better sometimes means literally getting back on your feet. We offer physical therapy for our patients through our highly specialized vestibular therapist. Finding the right physical therapist for successful rehabilitation is critical, and having that specialist in-house means your care stays coordinated from evaluation through recovery.
Auditory Processing Disorder Therapy
APD therapy is delivered by highly specialized audiologists and is both patient-centered and evidence-based. We design therapy programs for each patient based on their specific auditory deficits, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum. The goal is to rewire auditory processing skills so that listening becomes more effortless and less exhausting over time. Our APD audiologists have extensive experience in both evaluation and therapy for children and adults.
Neuropsychology
We offer neuropsychological services right alongside our hearing and balance care. When symptoms affect your thinking or emotions as well as your ears, having our team work together in-house ensures every part of your recovery is built into a single, coordinated plan.
Dyslexia Screening
Because auditory processing and reading development are closely linked, we offer dyslexia screening as part of our APD evaluation process. If a patient shows signs of both APD and dyslexia, early identification allows for more targeted and effective intervention.
