“I ( Retired FDNY) just had a great shopping experience . I was in the market for a Hearing Aid. I shopped around and found Wilks Hearing Center. I made an appointment and was very happy I did. Dr Kafka was very professional and very informative. All in one visit I was tested, advised and walked out with a great pair of Hearing Aids. I Highly recommend Wilks Hearing Center.”

Whether it's a child, an adult or a senior citizen she is the go to person. Peggy, at the front desk, always has a smile on her face and greets each everyone with a warm and friendly hello. And Barbara greets everyone as though she’s their best friend. I feel like I’m with family when I have an appointment. We wouldn't go anywhere else!!”
