We accept most insurances.

Our office is happy to accept self pay patients. We offer an affordable rate.

What you can expect at your appointment?

  • New patients should arrive 30 minutes prior to their appointment time. This will allow ample to verify insurance.
  • You may turn in your new patient forms at check-in, verify that they were received electronically, or fill them out at the time of arrival.
  • Provide your current health insurance cards, photo ID, and list of medications to the receptionist.
  • In the examination room the nurse will obtain a brief verbal medical history. Dr. Wingert or Ted Paquin will then discuss your problem in greater detail and perform an appropriate examination.
  • For patients with long standing nasal/sinus or throat problems, evaluation typically includes a fibreoptic endoscopic examination of the affected area. In order to facilitate your examination, we ask your permission to spray your nose with a decongestant and a topical anesthetic spray (Lidocaine). This will anesthetize the lining of your nose. The endoscopic examination yields useful additional information regarding the nature and extent of disease present in otherwise difficult or impossible to examine areas. The CT and MRI scans give complimentary information but they do not replace the value of an endoscopic examination.

Treatment of Facial Skin Cancers

Skin cancer is the most common form of human cancer. It is estimated that over 1 million new cases occur annually. The rates of all forms of skin cancer are increasing each year, representing a growing concern. It has been estimated that nearly half of all Americans who live to age 65 will develop skin cancer at least once. Dr. Wingert and Ted Paquin routinely see facial skin cancers and lesions. If you have any areas of concern in the head and neck area, certainly address these issues with Dr. Wingert or Ted Paquin.
