About Northern Audiology
Getting To Know Us...

Hello One and All,

We are happy you have visited our website. For those of you who are new to us we would like to tell you a little bit about who we are.

We opened our doors almost eight years ago and have not looked back once. The two of us met over 20 years ago while working at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York. We also worked together at a hospital in Florida. We decided that we did not like the current trends in healthcare and felt we could do a better job of providing quality care if we had the freedom to be independent. Our care is always focused on what is best for our patients.

We pride ourselves on providing quality hearing healthcare where the patient always comes first.

Our expertise includes over twenty years of experience working with all age patients with a variety of different needs. We accept most insurances and will work out an arrangement for those who do not have insurance or do not have hearing healthcare coverage. So feel free to contact us. Our ears are always opened!! We look forward to assisting you with any and all of your hearing needs.

Best Regards,
Abby and Ellen
