Dr. Tanya Stathopoulos, Au.D, received her Bachelor of Science degree in biology from St. John’s University and achieved her Doctorate in Audiology from Nova Southeastern University. Her goal is to improve each patient’s quality of life with better hearing. Everyone should feel as if they are able to laugh at stories without missing the punch line, hear everything that is being said at their place of worship, and share conversations with loved ones without so much listening effort.

She has been exposed to audiology services and hearing aids throughout her life and has become proficient in working with hearing aids. Her work experiences, in addition to her extensive volunteer experience, has given her the opportunity to work with diverse populations. These experiences have allowed her to develop strong interpersonal skills, as well as build trust and respect with individuals of all ages. She has learned strategies to maximize her listening skills while communicating with others in order to truly understand and relate to the specific concerns, struggles, and perspectives of each individual. Dr. Stathopoulos is a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), is credentialed with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and is certified with the American Board of Audiology in Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-A).

My name is Sharon Glidden and I started my career as a Patient Care Coordinator for the Mineola office March 8, 2021. I especially love working with the elderly as I have a very compassionate connection to them. I feel like I make a difference, and that means so much to me. I am proud to be a part of the Starkey Family.

When I am not working, I love spending time with my husband Dave and my son Adam. My hobbies are reading, needlepoint and anything crafty! I also run a Page on Facebook for people who suffer from Grief and Anxiety and I have over 7,000 followers.
