Our West Long Branch clinic is led by Dr. Tara Mango, Au.D., CCC-A, and Dr. Kristen Nortwich. Dr. Mango has served Monmouth County patients for a number of years and is licensed in both New Jersey and New York. She holds her Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and serves as adjunct faculty in Monmouth University's Department of Speech-Language Pathology. Her clinical focus includes diagnostic hearing evaluation, auditory processing disorder assessment, and hearing aid fitting verified with Real-Ear Measurement.

Dr. Nortwich completed her doctoral residency at this location and has since joined the practice as a full-time audiologist. She earned her Au.D. from Montclair State University, where her doctoral research examined the effects of headphone listening on sound localization, and she completed her undergraduate training at West Chester University of Pennsylvania with minors in American Sign Language and Deaf Culture. Dr. Nortwich is fluent in American Sign Language and provides comprehensive hearing evaluations, hearing aid fittings, and tinnitus assessment for patients of all ages.

Together, Dr. Mango and Dr. Nortwich provide the full scope of audiological care available at our West Long Branch office, including auditory processing disorder evaluations for children referred through local school districts, Real-Ear Measurement verified hearing aid fittings, tinnitus evaluation and management, and ear wax removal. Every hearing aid fitting at this location is verified to confirm your devices are programmed to your specific hearing loss, not a manufacturer default — a clinical standard not every hearing care provider follows.
