Our Staff

William Essex, HIS

Hearing Instrument Specialist

Over the years I have really enjoyed my career in hearing health sciences. The main reason I became so interested in this field was because of my mother. She was a patient with hearing loss, coming to the same office I work in now. For my mother, hearing aids were such a life changing experience that it made me realize it would be a rewarding career.

It brings me joy to give patients the care and help they need. I treat each patient with professionalism and a caring attitude. I previously lived in Michigan (Go Blue!) and I am happy to now reside in Florida without the snow. In my free time I love to play tennis, I am active in two different leagues. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

Rodrigo Uribe, HAS

Hearing Aid Specialist

Rodrigo was born in Mexico but grew up just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. His wife had been struggling with pulsating tinnitus and severe cases of vertigo for some time prior to his interest in the hearing healthcare field. By sharing in her experience of on-going medical testing, trial and error experimentation and medication management, and seeking answers right alongside her, he came to know just how fascinating, yet complicated, the gift of hearing is. As a professional in this industry, Rodrigo finds it rewarding to individualize each patient’s hearing aid to best suit their needs and lifestyle. With a keen attention to detail and a purpose to make a difference in the lives of others, he is looking forward to new and exciting challenges to come; “I have to feel passionate about what I do professionally, and I can say hearing is that passion.”

As a native Spanish speaker, Rodrigo looks forward to your visit in English or Spanish, alike.
