Dr. Gordon first became interested
in the fields of Speech Language- Pathology and Audiology at ten
years of age when a speech language pathologist treated her
brother for vocal nodules. During that time her brother’s
communication was limited to a pencil and notepad. Seeing the
frustration of her brother not being able to communicate his
thoughts inspired Dr. Gordon to pursue a career in Communication
Disorders and Sciences and ultimately obtain a Doctor of Audiology
degree.
As a young girl Dr. Gordon avidly
read about Helen Keller, Annie Sullivan and others … she began her
career with internships at the Manhattan Ear, Nose and Throat
Hospital as well as the Veterans Administration in New York. This
was followed by a position at New Rochelle Hospital Medical Center
where she worked with infant, children and geriatric patients.
She then furthered her hearing aid experience at The Hearing
Laboratory and moved on to the Veterans Administration in New
Jersey. There she obtained extensive experience in hearing aid
fittings, Electronystagmograpy & Auditory Brainstem Response
Testing. Dr. Gordon has been in numerous consultations with
physicians and is a frequent lecturer.
Dr. Gordon always dreamed of having
a private practice and began in 1987 as the owner of Staten Island
Audiological Services. There she worked with large numbers of
developmentally, speech and language delayed children as well as
children suffering from auditory processing disorders and hearing
impairment. In 1997 she opened
The Professional
Hearing Center and ultimately expanded her practice to include
speech services, thus Professional Hearing and Speech Center was
created. She is fortunate to have experience with patients of all
ages and enjoys the diversity of working with children and adults
as well as performing all areas of diagnostic testing and hearing
aid fittings. |
