About Dr. Brittany Vaggalis
Born and raised in Colorado, Dr. Brittany Vaggalis is proud to return back home to care for the Denver community after living out of state for the past 15 years. She joins Dr. Link and Zach as a part-time audiologist and is currently accepting appointments on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Her interest in audiology was piqued through caring for a child with communication difficulty prior to college. This experience overwhelmed Dr. Vaggalis with the understanding of what it was like to not be able to communicate with others, which now sparks her daily joy to help others reconnect with loved ones through the gift of hearing.
Receiving her Bachelor of Science from the University of Northern Colorado, Dr. Vaggalis went on to complete her Doctor of Audiology at the University of Iowa. She has met with patients from all walks of life while she practiced in Chicago, Illinois, and Raleigh, North Carolina. These experiences have helped mold Dr. Vaggalis' approach to a personalized treatment plan for each patient, because no two ears or two people are the same!
When Dr. Vaggalis is not practicing audiology, you may find her at the playground with her 2-year-old daughter or camping with her husband, Mike. She enjoys running and completed the Chicago Marathon in 2016 and 2017. Dr. Vaggalis also enjoys her sweets and is always looking for good ice cream shops in the area.
