Details

Dana is passionate about helping people who struggle with dizziness, balance problems, and unexplained vertigo finally find answers without having to travel far from home. After earning her Doctorate in Audiology from Central Michigan University in 2024 and spending time in private practice, she noticed a major need for specialized vestibular care right here in the Chattanooga area.

Wanting to better serve patients who often felt unheard or unsure where to turn, Dana pursued advanced training focused entirely on balance and vestibular disorders. What started as curiosity quickly became a calling: helping patients feel steady, confident, and safe in their everyday lives again.

Today, Dana is proud to be the only vestibular audiologist in the Chattanooga area for now, offering comprehensive balance and dizziness testing in a welcoming, patient-centered environment. She works closely with other healthcare providers as part of a multi-disciplinary team to make sure each patient receives thoughtful, personalized care.

Above all, Dana believes patients deserve clear answers, compassionate care, and a plan they can understand. Helping people regain independence and peace of mind is at the heart of everything she does.
