Tahoe Family Hearing Clinic

“Hello! I’m Dr. Jenelle Sandy, Au.D., CCC-A, pediatric and adult audiologist, here to serve South Lake Tahoe and the greater Lake Tahoe Basin.

I was born in Southern California and raised in rural Maine, the bustling city of Chicago and northern California. I grew up babysitting, nannying, and volunteering, always with a passion for working with children and people in some capacity to give back to my community.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and went on to earn my doctor of audiology degree at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. I chose UNC (and they chose me) for their excellent pediatric program, ranked top 5 in the nation. From there, I went on to practice at a specialty pediatric hospital, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. I worked with children diagnosed with rare diseases and illnesses in addition to their hearing loss diagnosis. This unique setting has given me distinctive skills to provide for my patients in ways others may not even consider.

Ultimately, my heart missed the mountains I experienced in my childhood. Returning to the mountains has rekindled my love of skiing and mountain biking, but my passion for helping and providing for my community has not dwindled. When I am not skiing, biking, or working, I can be found exploring the simple pleasures Tahoe has to offer with my loving spouse and two children.”

Rob worked in corporate IT sales for a number of years prior to leaving and helping his wife, Dr. Jenelle Sandy, open Tahoe Family Hearing Clinic. His background is in sales, marketing, and operations. Rob assists anywhere he can in the business but his primary focus today is on operational tasks and ensuring a successful patient experience. He is passionate about working with his wife and helping to ensure the success of the clinic.

Outside of work, Rob enjoys doing anything outdoors, whether that be winter skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, golfing, mountain biking, swimming, or kayaking.
