“We recently relocated to the Monroe area from Florida to be closer to family. My current hearing aids needed to be replaced and having no contact here I checked online reviews and referrals where I found Dr. King highly recommended. My prior hearing provider was very thorough and I had a good basis for comparison. The reviews were spot on and I am very pleased with Dr. King. Even though I was currently using hearing aids everything was explained and every effort was made to insure I knew exactly what to expect, both the limitations and benefits. I appreciate that the focus was on providing me with the best hearing device available, not on making the best sale. This office was friendly, polite, professional and I look forward to continual service here.”
“I am very happy to recommend Dr. Allison King for both her kind and patient manner as well as her professional expertise. She helped my mother a few years ago and made a wonderful difference in her later years. We are always glad to see her and trust her advice completely. You cannot go wrong with her as your Doctor.”
“I’ve known for years that I had hearing issues. I have been tested in the past and told that it wasn’t bad enough for hearing aids yet I was having all the typical difficulties hearing. Was seen by Dr. King and she immediately acknowledged that I was having issues and that in the past some providers have just blown them off I am so happy to have met her and to have my new hearing aids thank you”
“I bring my mother to see Dr. King. We followed her from CEENTA in Charlotte. Dr. King is absolutely amazing and always takes as much time needed to help my mother with any concerns or questions she may have. I wish every provider of care had the compassion of Dr. King. ”
“Dr. King took plenty of time to test my hearing and more importantly to understand what my hearing expectations were. She was thorough, professional, polite and friendly. I am completely happy with the level of care that I received and the thoroughness that went into helping me decide which device was best suited to my needs. I also like that the practice is not a large, commercialized business that is only interested in selling you hearing devices. The monitoring and follow-up at Palmetto Family Hearing Center is a valuable part of the best practice experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Allison King for your audiology needs.”
Clinic details
At Palmetto Family Hearing Center, our goal is to spend the necessary time with each of our patients to learn about their hearing concerns. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life of our patients through better hearing. We provide exceptional service, technology and personalized care. 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, Dr. King and Dr. Katulak enjoy having the freedom to spend as much quality time with patients as they need. Our Audiologists love what they do, and PFHC is honored to provide our community with excellent hearing healthcare! Read our patient reviews to understand why we have over 300 5-Star Reviews.
