Did you know that hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition in the United States? Hearing loss is twice as prevalent as diabetes or cancer! It can be easy to take our hearing for granted, but if you think you are having difficulty hearing, don’t miss out on another conversation. Age, genetics, exposure to loud noise, certain medications, and lifestyles can all cause hearing loss.
At SRMC, helping to identify and manage hearing loss is a collaborative effort. Working closely together with your primary provider, our Audiologist and Ears, Nose, and Throat physician strive to determine the cause of hearing loss and plan next steps to limit further loss through treatment. In some cases, hearing aids or procedures may be necessary.

Neurology is the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system: brain, spinal cord, and nerves. At SRMC, we strive to treat various neurological disorders with the help of our highly trained neurologist. Dr. Hakumat Kakkar utilizes stimulators and Electromyographies (EMGs) to help diagnose and treat neurological disorders. EMGs are a diagnostic procedure that assesses the health of muscles and motor neurons. The results of an EMG can reveal nerve or muscle disfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission and stimulators. A provider referral is required.
Another Neurology service we provide is Electroencephalography (EEG). EEG is a non-invasive test that records electrical activity in the brain, typically through electrodes placed on the scalp. EEG is a valuable tool in the arsenal of neurology services, providing important insights into the functioning of the brain and helping guide clinical management decisions for patients with neurological disorders.

For this reason, hematology —the study and treatment of blood disorders — is a subspecialty of internal medicine. Hematologists work with blood-related conditions, including several types of cancer. They use a variety of tests and treatments for these issues. Various disorders and diseases primarily affect the blood. Dr. Soriano is trained in anemia and bone marrow disorders for hematology.
Ophthalmology is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Vision, the most dominant of our senses, plays a critical role in every facet and stage of our lives. We take vision for granted, but without vision, we struggle to learn, to walk, to read, to participate in school, and to work. Vision impairment occurs when an eye condition affects the visual system and its vision functions. Everyone, if they live long enough, will experience at least one eye condition in their lifetime that will require appropriate care. Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a near or distance vision impairment. In at least 1 billion – or almost half – of these cases, vision impairment could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed.
