Q: What is an otolaryngologist? A: An otolaryngologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose and throat diseases as well as related structures of the head and neck. Otolaryngologists are also referred to as ENT doctors or physicians. For more information, visit www.entnet.org.
The ear is, of course, the organ that conducts hearing; however, as mammals, we also use our ears for balance. The ear consists of three major parts: the outer ear, which is the part we can see; the middle ear, which transfers sound waves from the ear drum; and the inner ear, which sends vibrations.

I like Dr. Vaughn so I am sad that today will be my last visit to see him. I waited an hour PAST my appointment time. Dr. Vaughn was apologetic and I could let that go, but when I went to pay, my 5 minutes with him cost me $236.70! I have been going there for a long time for the same thing. I knew our insurance was going to go from not having a deductible to having one so on my previous visit I said, "How much would this cost me if I had to meet a deductible first." I was told about $140.00.
That is what I was expecting today. I inquired why it was so much more and was met with, "Talk to your insurance." I asked if they charged me for the same procedure as always and she couldn't answer that either. I paid the ridiculous amount for my hour wait and 5 minutes with the doctor and reached out to my insurance. They were no help so I called back to central billing.
I again was not helped. I asked what codes they used last time I was there and she couldn't tell me. $236.70 for FIVE minutes with the doctor, after an hour wait, and nobody can tell me why. I really need the service I get there but who can afford that price every 3-4 months? PLUS missing all that work.

My 18 month needs tubes placed in his ears. They were able to get him in fairly quickly for an initial appointment, they quickly tested his hearing, and they made a plan to get tubes. Doctors offices are not always a great place to be with a toddler, but the staff was friendly and patient with him, and the hearing test was toddler friendly. I separately used ENT of the Ozarks for a Sistrunk procedure to remove a cyst from my throat. I had this done about 5 years ago. Dr. Manning did a fantastic job, and there is very little noticeable scarring from the procedure.

I'm a new patient. The first time I had a hearing test. The audiologist was friendly and explained things well. It was a good experience. I've also seen Dr. Manning for an exam and a procedure. He's very personable, yet professional. He asks questions, listens and is informative. The support staff is excellent. I really like this ENT center, I should have come in years ago!

This office is wonderful! The staff is very helpful and polite, and Drs. Johnson and Toner have been a pleasure to work with. I am always seen in a timely manner and Dr. Johnson and her nurses are very accommodating when working with me to schedule appointments. I would recommend this office to anyone who may need their services!

Always friendly and professional. They do their best to address any issues and give you the treatment options that they can. I had to change to Dr Lollar since Dr Spencer is no longer there. After just one visit with him I really like him. I hope this continues to be a great doctor patient relationship.

Taryn is probably one of the best humans I have ever met, and Dr. Vaughn is amazing as well. He always answers any questions, he is super kind and has great bedside manners. Nor did he think I was weird when I called him Dr. McDreamy when I was coming to after surgery. But yes, these two and everyone there have truly changed my life for the better.
