AuD
Indiana Gutierrez has been an Audiologist for the Miami VAMC since 2011. She has practiced audiology in South Florida for over 16 years in both private practice and VA and hopes to call the VA her home for the rest of her career. Serving veterans with Central Auditory Processing Deficits for the last 10 years has been a rewarding and educational experience and she is tremendously grateful for the opportunity. She feels this patient population is special because most have never heard of CAPD and may need extensive counseling and education to understand their deficits.
