Audiologist

Dr. Gary Wayne Fike, Jr, owner of Palmetto Family Hearing Center, has been an Audiologist for over two decades and proudly serves the hearing needs of the residents in Ft. Mills, SC. and surrounding areas. He has extensive experience in complete diagnostic hearing evaluations and hearing aid technology. Dr. Fike continued his education to the highest level to best serve his patients. He also obtained his board certification, which requires a significant amount of continued education.

After working for many years in a large medical practice, Dr. Fike realized the focus was shifting to seeing more patients, with shorter appointment times each day. In order to provide each patient a more personalized hearing healthcare experience, Dr. Fike chose to open his own practice, Palmetto Family Hearing Center. Since that time PFHC has continued to grow. Dr. Fike and his staff enjoy having the freedom to spend as much quality time with patients as they need. Dr. Fike loves what he does and PFHC is honored to provide this community with excellent hearing healthcare!  

Dr. Fike grew up near Cleveland, Ohio and is a local resident of Fort Mill, SC. Dr. Fike is married to Jenny, a Fort Mill Native, and they have two children, Noah and Adelie. Outside of helping patients hear well, Dr. Fike enjoys traveling and spending time with his family and friends. He is actively involved in the community as a board member for Bee Mighty, which serves families of premature babies, and as a volunteer and mentor at Children’s Attention Home.

“I am new to the area and I don’t think I could have found a better doctor. Dr Fike takes his time and is very thorough. He checked my hearing and adjusted my hearing aids. Very personal and kind.”

“After a miserable experience with a different provider, I reached out to Palmetto Family Hearing Center to try again. Thank goodness I did, what a completely different experience - a professional! I purchased a new set of hearing aids that were perfect from the day I received them plus follow-up visits where they were tweaked further. I have expressed my gratitude to Dr. Katulak for perfecting my hearing. I have changed insurance plans from Humana to United Healthcare Advantage but made sure that Palmetto Family Hearing Center was among the available providers and have just ordered a more advanced set. Thank you so much - I'm looking forward to our continued association.”

“Dr. Katulak was so kind and professional and took her time to determine what I needed to hear better. She explained everything so well and I didn't feel pressured to choose a hearing aid I wasn't comfortable with or to spend more than I felt I needed to. I am very happy with my hearing aids and so glad I went to Palmetto Family Hearing Center. I would highly recommend Dr. Katulak. ”
