Meet Emily Graves

Dr. Emily Graves is a licensed and certified audiologist who specializes in evaluating patients of all ages with hearing and balance disorders. She offers comprehensive diagnostic services, and a wide range of treatment options tailored to each individual’s needs. Passionate about serving rural and underserved communities, she is dedicated to making high-quality hearing care accessible to everyone, regardless of location.

Dr. Graves is committed to improving patient communication and overall quality of life through evidence-based audiology practices. She values building meaningful, communicative, and trusting relationships with her patients — a foundation she believes is essential to successful outcomes. “Hearing connects us to the world — through conversations, relationships, and everyday moments. While hearing loss can be challenging, the journey to improved hearing is often deeply rewarding. I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with my patients, and believe this is integral to achieving long-term success and enhancing each patient’s overall quality of life.”

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Graves enjoys spending time with family, friends, and Goldendoodle, Millie. She stays active playing pickleball and golf and enjoys arts and crafts – especially cross-stitching. A proud Native of Tarkio, Missouri, Dr. Graves is thrilled to be back in the area and looks forward to getting involved and serving the people of Northwest Missouri with compassionate and personalized audiology care.
