We were paying $400 a year for eye insurance. Plus $70 in copays for exams. My kid's crappy glasses…read morewere $150 with the "insurance discount". Her contacts were $650. We cancelled insurance and took her to Stanton. Her exam AND contacts were $240. Her glasses were $101. The exam was computerized, it changed the machine on her face between 1 and 2. At the last place they couldn't get her pretty normal prescription right. Stanton had no issues and my kid is happy with her contacts. Plus the staff was A+

I got a pair of glasses and six month supply of contact lenses for a good price. They waived the fee for the eye exam. I got a decent pair of good looking frames. I thought because it was a discount store,They would have all ugly frames, but I found some decent ones for around $79. My experience was far superior to any other optician I've been to.

Giving this practice an "OK" rating is generous. My experience has been that an MD could not…read moreeffectively remove excessive ear wax without causing pain. The doctor complained that my "ear canal is very narrow". How is that my fault? At one point I was so desparate that I agreed to his suggestion of having the ear wax removal performed while I was under anesthesia in the OR?! Even if Medicare paid for that, the out-of-pocket would have been significant, and for what---ear wax removal? Obviously, I decided against this solution. To put this experience in perspective: A Physician's Assistant at another ENT practice (different market, outside the Ballad Health jurisdiction) had no problem whatsoever in cleaning my ears--causing 0 pain or discomfort. Did she have special tools or other equipment? Or did she use heat or other processes differently to soften the wax more effectively to allow its safe and painless removal? Even if the answer is "Yes" to both questions, those tools and processes should have been known and available to be used effectively in ANY reputable ENT practice.
