About Us

JC Audiology was founded by Dr. Judith L. Reese in 2005 in Lutz, FL.  Since opening her practice, thousands of patients have come to experience her quality care and service of their hearing needs.  JC Audiology is an independent hearing aid dispenser--not a part of any chain or franchise--so our recommendations are completely independent and objective.  The only boss we answer to is you, our valued patient.

Susan Colborne

Our camera-shy insurance coordinator, Susan Colborne, handles the always changing, always challenging aspects of insurance filing for JC Audiology.  We accept many insurance policies for hearing tests and devices, and because of the complexity and variety of plans and benefits, we are fortunate to have an insurance coordinator facilitate the processes involving this important area of the practice.  Ms. Colborne has more than two decades of experience in medical billing working with physicians practices in the Tampa Bay area.  She received her Bachelor’s Degree from Wayne State University.  Her expertise in insurance policies allows us to provide patients with information pertaining to any benefits or discounts their policies allow.
