Office Staff
Jay-Lynn Sussman, Office Manager
A second generation Port Washington resident, wife and mother, I've been with Advanced Hearing Center for over 5 years. I have assisted in helping our practice double in size and expand from 1 office to 2. My passion is helping our patients along their way to better hearing. I am always available to answer any questions or concerns regarding the whole process of treating hearing loss. I have raised money for Leukemia research and I am a registered bone marrow donor. I find it extremely fulfilling helping others and will continue to do so throughout my life. Helping people has always been a part of my life.
Susan Scardino, Physician Liason
Life-long resident of Long Island, wife and mother to a beautiful young lady. A religious education teacher and fundraiser for the educational system, I find knowledge and education to be a pivotal part of my life and I will always take the opportunity in both my professional and personal life to spread the word that knowledge is power.
As a member of the Advanced Hearing Center family , I find my job extremely rewarding as a Physician Liaison. My joy is to educate the general public and the medical community of the consequences of untreated hearing loss.
Cindy Katz, Office Staff
As a member of the Advanced Hearing Center staff I bring 20 years of customer service experience along with a bright smile and a friendly hello. On the phone or face to face my goal is to make each patient's experience easy, accessible, and successful.
