Audiology Services

We now offer convenient on-site audiology testing for patients aged 60 and older. During annual wellness visits, our physicians will screen for hearing loss. If needed, patients can schedule a 15-minute audiology exam on Wednesday afternoons for $70 (often covered by insurance). Results are reviewed by a certified audiologist to determine if monitoring or hearing aids are recommended. Untreated hearing loss is linked to increased dementia risk, making regular screenings essential.

For questions, visit our FAQs or ask your primary care physician at your next visit!

Clear Pricing Project Update

Important Aetna Update

OFD currently participates with Aetna, enrolled in the Clear Pricing Project (CPP) for NC State Health Plan starting 2025.

Cold/Flu Season Update

We are heading into the cold and flu season. As expected, we’ve seen lots of flu, COVID, RSV, Strep and stomach bugs these past months and last year. The OFD doctors and staff are greatly appreciative of the cooperation that we’ve had from our sick patients in using the dedicated parking lot spots near the back shed to keep germs outside of the building. This policy has managed to keep the OFD team, and the healthy patients that we see inside the building, largely free from illness. We feel fortunate that our practice layout allows for this strategy.

Our optional masking policy remains the same since we changed it in April 2023 and it seems to be working for most patients. We will continue to monitor the incidence of diseases in our community, and we continue to recommend routine vaccination for the vast majority of our patients.

Aetna Insurance Update

Dr. Michael Weizman is currently IN NETWORK with Aetna

They sent letters to our patients in error stating he was out of network as of 1/1/24. All of our Providers participate in network with Aetna. If you receive any letter stating otherwise you can disregard.
