It was such a pleasure to meet and become a patient for Dr. Reikowski at Family Hearing and Balance Center. The entire staff is very professional. They immediately made me feel that I was in very good care and that I had come to the right place. It began with a very thorough hearing exam to determine my exact needs. I knew that my hearing was impaired and that was confirmed with the tests. The hearing aids that I received are incredible and perform very well. Dr. Reikowski is a genuine caring, quality individual and I am extremely comfortable with him. They are very professional and will take care of your personal hearing needs. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Reikowski and staff are always professional. They go above and beyond anytime I need an adjustment to my hearing aids or a cleaning. I would highly recommend Family Hearing and Balance Center to anyone that needs their help. They have helped me to live a more active and involved life...I can hear people when they speak to me instead of just nodding or saying Huh?!

I drive an hour to see Dr Welman with never a regret. She is a knowledgeable, heart centered practitioner that works diligently to help me hear. All the staff is polite, on time, and good at what they do.

Family Hearing truly gives you a feeling of family. Everyone is kind, friendly and very professional. Ive been going to Rich for nearly 20 years and he has always treated me very well. He is extremely knowledgeable, keeps up to date with the newest technology and has so much patience. Hes always willing to explain things so you can understand them. If you have any kind of hearing issues, you wont regret going to Family Hearing Center. I went based on a recommendation from another hearing professional, and Im so glad.

After being diagnosed with a hearing loss at age 7. I was issued hearing aids and wore them until 13yrs old. I remember the last day I took them out and put them away, never to look back. Peer pressure was setting in for a young man like me and I wanted to be like everyone else. Fast forward 40 years @ 53 years of age, Covid hit and the mask went on and it was what drove the final nail in the coffin. I couldnt read lips any more, crippling my ability to communicate, realizing the world has finally shut me out. Its what forced me to look into hearing aids again. I contacted Family Hearing and Balance Center and met with Dr. Richard Riekowski. unlike some Audiologist who tries to up sale there patient. Dr. Riekowski never did. He gave me the most attention to detail in all aspect of my hearing and listened to my story of the struggles of suffering from a born hearing loss. Having done my own research, I told him the type of hearing aids I wanted, which was the OTICON Ruby 1 miniRite T. The hearing aid comes with a T-coil, which is phenomenal. I recommend anyone who gets hearing aids to get the T-coil too! Dr. Riekowski knew I did my homework and was so supportive in my own decision. I knew they cost more than the other brands but I realized I wanted to do things right the first time. Dr Riekowski you are a blessing and I recommend Family Hearing and Balance Center for all your hearing needs.

I have been going to Family Hearing and Balance Center for more than 10 years now. The whole stuff is great. They really do treat you like family. They are very friendly and courteous. Dr. Reikowski will fit you with the equipment he thinks will work best for you. This may not necessarily be the most expensive ones, but the one that will give you your best hearing quality. They do not pressure you into getting something you dont want or need. I would highly recommend Family Hearing to anyone who is looking for a good hearing doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rich for many years. I balked in the beginning because I did not want to admit to be losing my hearing! At my first visit he calmed my fears and what Joy to be able to hear again!He is both knowledgeable and compassionate and has a kind and loving heart. His staff reflect his goodness and professionalism and are patient and helpful.Don’t let the Senior Years rob you of being a participant in life,but let him help You find your Comfort Zone, and let you enjoy your life!With all the new and constant technology, we on this side of the mountain feel overwhelmed and left out, I promise with the updated hearing technologies, You can again find your spot in the Circle of Life!Call him today for an appointment and change the one thing You can, hearing once again!!

I used Cardinal Hearing Centers for my first set of hearing aids in 2007 and have been pleased with the Doctors and staff from day one. Dr. Workman reviewed my habits and recommended my newest upgrade which fits my lifestyle. Gails efforts to make the scheduling work for both Dr. Workman and myself are greatly appreciated.

Family Hearing & Balance Center: You Had Me From Hello! Dr. Amy Wellman really knows her business. She keeps up on what is new in the hearing aid world, and most important, she is professional and kind. I would be remiss if I didnt mention the office staff. They are responsive both in person and on the phone.

I went to Family Hearing and Balance Center about a year ago. I am seen at V.A. but needed a second opinion and important paperwork filled out for veteran service purposes. They were very professional and friendly. I met Dr. Reikowski in the waiting room and was seen by Dr. Amy Welman. She did tests for hearing and tinnitus. She gave me helpful advice and filled out like a ton of paperwork for me for V.A. they will make you feel at home. : )

As we add birthdays it is not unusual considering that during this time there may have been wars - screams of pain & pleasure - trauma to head & face - & years of playing in Rock n Roll bands with your ear 12 from 6-8 ft speaker. We tend to not hear or misunderstand to the point of comedy.It is time to Man-Up , admit your becoming deaf-as-a-door & call Family Hearing. Dr Richard Reikowski and his staff are quintessential professionals, at the same time being truly good people. Dr Reikowski will exam you using the latest equipment and not only provide a most accurate diagnosis, but explain his findings so that you can understand. Dr Reikowski will provide you with the best information concerning you condition, but also as to the best equipment for you; so you can make a judgement as to what is best for you.Do yourself and your family/friends a favor -- after your wife hits you in the head with a book for not listening - paying attention or abject ignoring her --- Call Dr Reikowski.

I recently was fitted for, and received, two invisible completely in the canal hearing devices from Oticon. I did not previously wear hearing aids, so I was very cautious, nervous, etc… to say the least. Dr.Welman worked with me from start-to-finish and truly minimized my anxiety and made the entire process as smooth as possible. Dr. Welman is extremely knowledgeable, is very engaging, and took the time to come up with the best solution possible for me- this was quite refreshing indeed. The entire team at Family Balance and Hearing Center should be commended for their professionalism and the cordial nature in which they interact with their patients. And yes, it’s nice to hear the sounds of birds chirping again.
