“Palmetto Family Hearing Center in Waxhaw is the best! Dr. Allison King is very knowledgeable, caring, patient, professional and an awesome audiologist. There is no hard sell or upsell or pressure of any kind! The office is very nice and convenient. The testing ‘box’/room is not confining at all. Highly recommend this business for your hearing needs. ”

Outstanding hearing care for the entire family

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 and Dr. King 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 350 5-Star Reviews. We care about you and your loved ones!
