Kim Wise, Ph.D., CCC-A
Dr. Wise is an Arizona native who fondly recalls managing a humble second-place finish in Prescott’s annual Fourth of July Boot Race one year. Dr. Wise completed her undergraduate degree at Arizona State University and her postgraduate degrees—master’s and doctoral—at The University of Auckland, New Zealand. She has dual citizenship, having lived and worked in New Zealand for over 20 years. Dr. Wise has served in a variety of Audiology roles, including hospital-based, private clinic, academic program and research settings, spanning all age groups from newborn to adult. These opportunities required a broad scope of clinical assessment and management strategies for a range of issues, including hearing loss, tinnitus and imbalance. She is truly excited to join the Prescott ENT team and contribute to the Prescott community. She enjoys the outdoors and is quite happily bossed around by her elderly rescue cat, Riley.
