Ever feel like the world is spinning, but you aren’t sure why? 🌀

Dizziness and balance issues can be frustrating, scary, and even dangerous. At East Coast Audiology & Physical Therapy, we don’t just guess what’s wrong: we use the science of balance to find real answers.

One of our most powerful tools is VNG (Videonystagmography) testing. 🧠✨ This non-invasive test uses specialized goggles to track your eye movements, providing our specialists with objective data about how your inner ear and brain are working together.

Instead of just saying "I feel dizzy," VNG helps us identify exactly why you feel that way. Whether it’s a vestibular disorder or another balance issue, this data allows us to create a personalized treatment plan designed just for you.

Our expert team is ready to help you regain your steady ground at any of our locations across New York and Arizona. 📍

Stop living in a spin. Let’s get you back on your feet!

Did you know your ears and your brain are basically best friends? 🧠👂

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month: the perfect time to highlight that hearing health is cognitive health! When hearing loss goes untreated, your brain works overtime to "fill in the gaps." This "listening fatigue" is real and can eventually impact your memory and social connections.

Think of it this way: your ears collect the sound, but your brain processes it. If your ears aren't sending clear signals, your cognitive battery drains much faster. 🔋

Whether you’ve noticed a small change or it’s just time for a check-up, our Doctors of Audiology are here to help you stay sharp. Let’s keep your brain healthy and your life connected! 💙

Call us today or visit our website to schedule your comprehensive evaluation. We are proud to care for our neighbors!

Did you know that March is Brain Injury Awareness Month? 🧠✨

A concussion isn’t just a "bump on the head", it’s a mild traumatic brain injury that can affect your balance, vision, and how you feel every single day. If you’ve been dealing with dizziness, headaches, or that "foggy" feeling after a bump or fall, please know that you don't have to just "wait it out."

At East Coast Audiology & Physical Therapy, we specialize in helping your brain and body get back in sync. Whether it's through specialized vestibular therapy or neurological rehabilitation, our team provides the personalized, one-on-one care you deserve to regain your confidence and your life.

From our clinics in New York (Watertown, Fayetteville, and Evans Mills) to our location in Surprise, Arizona, we’re here to support your recovery journey every step of the way. 💙

Our Story

East Coast Audiology and Fyzical Therapy, DBA Watertown Audiology PC, is a medical practice. The Audiology practice was started in 1999 by Dr. Sarah Sugden, Au.D. In 2017, Physical Therapy was added under the guidance of Dr. Joel Grimshaw, PT, DPT. The purpose for combining Audiology and Physical Therapy is to provide a comprehensive treatment program for people with balance and vestibular problems while improving continuity of care. Our practice is unique as there are currently no other practices in NY state that offer Audiology and Physical therapy in the same physical location.

We have expanded our services to include orthopedic rehabilitation, women’s health, and pediatric physical therapy. To better serve the growing needs of our community, we opened an office in Fayetteville, NY in 2017 and Evans Mills (Fort Drum), NY in 2020. As we continue to grow, our mission is to provide high quality, personalized healthcare options to our patients in a time where personalized quality care seems to no longer exist. Our patients are our number one priority and we strive to meet each patient’s individual hearing and rehabilitation needs.
