What our families are saying
I started to notice my son saying ‘what?’ a lot, and it made me concerned about his hearing. That’s when I reached out to The Shepherd Centre for a hearing test.
From the very start, the team was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. They guided both me and my son through the process, explaining what to expect in a way that made us feel comfortable. When the results came in, they took the time to go through them with kindness and clarity.
