Choosing your hearing healthcare provider is a critical component to proper diagnosis and management of hearing loss. Sometimes it can be confusing when deciding who to trust with your first appointment to have your or a loved one’s hearing tested. We believe that knowledge is power, and with so many hearing healthcare options, it’s important to understand the differences so you can make an educated decision that is right for you.

Dr. Geissler’s Hearing Center was established in 2003 by Dr. Gina Geissler. Her first office was next door to her father, Dr. Evan Geissler, and his family practice office. Over the years, Dr. Geissler’s Hearing Center, has seen tremendous growth. In 2008, the practice expanded and two more offices were opened to better service our patients.

Dr. Gina Geissler, Au.D., looks forward to helping you on your journey to better hearing!
