Bio

Dr. Mandy Santos was born and raised in Haiku on the island of Maui. Dr. Santos provides a full spectrum of hearing health services to patients at Kaiser Permanente’s Wailuku Medical Office on Maui. She is both a diagnostic audiologist, who conducts hearing tests, and a dispensing audiologist, who helps select and fit hearing aids for patients. She believes in treating each patient as family and giving them the best care possible.

Initially studying to become a speech pathologist, she was inspired by a great audiology teacher and decided to pursue that calling. After earning her doctorate in audiology at the University of Northern Colorado, she came back home to help improve the quality of life of the community by finding ways to help them hear better.

Audiology was always of special interest to her since she has grandparents with hearing loss and a father in the construction field. Dr. Santos knows well the frustration experienced by people with hearing loss and takes special care to clearly communicate with her patients. She can tailor even the most technical information to each individual and make it understandable. Patients feel comfortable asking her questions and know that they are treated with respect.
