You can call the office for a hearing test and discuss your own issues or find out you may not need hearing aids at all.

Charlotte Eye Ear Nose & Throat Associates, P.A. refuses to provide service unless they are allowed…read moreto copy your Drivers License as well as your insurance cards. Make no mistake, Medicare DOES NOT require your medicare card be copied, the HIPPA Act DOES NOT require your identification cards be copied, and many insurance companies DO NOT require that providers make physical copies of your identification cards. Allowing medical providers to copy identification cards puts citizens AT RISK for identity theft. It has happened to me. What IS required by the HIPPA act is that patients be positively identified. This requirement is easily and safely met by providing identification in person when requested at the point of service. Medicare and insurance companies require the POLICY NUMBERS associated with the patients, not that the card be copied. Coping the information does not enhance identification, but does raise the risk of it being stolen, especially when they request to copy BOTH SIDES of your drivers license and military identification card. They have captured all my medical insurance data (not copied the card, but entered the data into their system), and I provide identification as requested upon arrival to their office, yet they refuse to provide medically beneficial services because I will not allow them to make hard or electronic copies of by drivers license, military identification card or medicare card. Their excuse? "Well, it's just our policy" No federal, state, or local law or regulation (that I could find) REQUIRES medical providers make electronic or physical copies of patients identification papers. I believe they just do it as a matter of their convenience. They are doing a disabled veteran a disservice by not providing needed care. Do note that I am provided medical services by many medical providers, none of which have made copies of my Medicare card, military identification card, or drivers license card.

If you have to have injections or laser treatments in your eyes, I highly recommend Dr. Brown. He is intensely focused, steady and reassuring. I did not feel a thing. I never saw the needle coming towards my eye and every care was taken to ensure I had a positive outcome. I received great news today that everything looks great and I don't have to return for six months! His staff were courteous and friendly. Everything was explained to me ahead of each step, and I never felt rushed or dismissed. Dr. Brown is quiet and works very efficiently to ensure your safety. My background is as a Paramedic and ER nurse. I researched every step of my treatment and each medication used. My care was spot on. My only negative comments would be long appointments (2-3 hours depending on procedure) and some insurance billing hiccups that were corrected as soon as they were identified. Something as important as the health of your eyesight cannot be rushed. Come in with the understanding that it's a multi-step process and try to relax. We spend hours in nail and hair salons and call it "self care" your eyesight is worth your time and grace. Many patients are elderly, use walkers or wheelchairs and may become uncomfortable during long waits. As Regional Director of Bluebird Homecare in Charlotte, I understand their needs and preferences more than some might. When you're sitting there, smile at the patients waiting with you. Strike up a pleasant conversation and the time will pass more quickly for both of you. Make the best of every moment and be the reason a stranger has a more positive wait.
