“The Dr was very friendly and professional at the same time. She explained the test results in an understandable way and provided information about how hearing loss can cause cognitive loss as well. Her explanation of the different hearing aids and their usefulness for each of us (My husband and I were both tested) was very useful .”

About Dr. Zarina (Naizam) Badalova

** WE DON'T SEE PATIENTS UNDER AGE 6. ** WAX REMOVAL IS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE, it's $159 and includes a complimentary hearing test. ** SELF-PAY HEARING TEST $149 Dear Patients, Thank you for choosing me as your audiologist. I am committed to treating every patient with the utmost respect and care. I prioritize spending as much time as needed with each of you, ensuring no one feels rushed. I also do my best to minimize waiting times and provide personalized care, treating you like my own family. When you book your appointment, you will always see me directly, as I am the sole audiologist in this practice. I take great pride in providing a welcoming and supportive environment. It’s truly heartbreaking to receive anonymous one-star reviews without any explanation. Such reviews don’t allow me to understand your concerns or improve my services. They also don’t give other patients a clear picture when deciding on their care. If you ever feel that I haven’t met your expectations, I encourage you to share your feedback directly with me or my office staff. We are approachable, responsive, and always eager to make things right. Open communication helps us provide the best possible care for you and others. Thank you for your understanding and for being a valued part of our practice. -- Dr. Naizam is a licensed audiologist in New York State.
