About Palmetto Family Hearing Center

At Palmetto Family Hearing Center, our goal is to spend the necessary time with each of our patients to learn about their hearing concerns. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life of our patients through better hearing. We provide exceptional service, technology, and personalized care. 

After many years in a large medical practice, Dr. Fike realized the focus was shifting to seeing more patients, with shorter appointment times each day. To offer each patient a more personalized approach, he founded Palmetto Family Hearing Center where every patient receives the time and attention they deserve. Since that time PFHC has continued to grow. Dr. Fike and Dr. King enjoy having the freedom to spend as much quality time with patients as they need. Our Audiologists love what they do, and PFHC is honored to provide our community with excellent hearing healthcare! We invite you to read our patient reviews to see why we've earned over 350 5-star ratings and discover why our patients say we truly care about them  and their loved ones!
