Common questions
Before you visit
Should I try to remove impacted wax myself?
Avoid inserting objects into the ear. Ear pain, drainage, a history of ear surgery, or a possible eardrum problem may change which approach is safe.
Are the listed fees a complete quote?
The schedule lists individual services. Visit, laboratory, imaging, medication, supply, or other charges may apply separately. Ask for the total proposed cost before proceeding.
