Saint Francis audiologists are licensed medical professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss in children and adults. They also assess and treat other ear-related problems such as ringing in the ears (tinnitus) or positional vertigo (BPPV). Audiologists have comprehensive knowledge of the auditory and vestibular systems (inner ear) and specialized training in how to accurately prescribe, fit and adjust hearing aids.

At Saint Francis, our audiologists and ear, nose and throat (ENT) physicians work together to make sure you are receiving the best care possible. Our audiologists use a wide range of diagnostic procedures to evaluate your hearing loss and determine if a referral to an ENT physician is needed.

Treatment options for hearing loss vary depending on the type and severity of loss. If amplification is recommended, our audiologists will work with you to determine the hearing aid or other hearing assistive device that will best fit your needs.

Allergy Treatment

Treatment is individualized based on the patient’s response during testing and discussed with our ENT provider. Treatments may include medications or allergy immunotherapy in the form of injections or sublingual therapy.

Call the Allergy Clinic Line at 573-331-5686 to schedule a screening with the Allergy Coordinator. A referral is not required. Cape ENT Group does not administer food, medication or venom allergy testing.

This was my first trip to St Francis healthcare facility. Was an awesome experience from the moment we stepped in the place. The facility was extremely nice and every single staff member we had contact with was extremely nice and helpful. Very professional. My provider was not rushed and seemed very knowledgeable of my issue. Would highly recommended St Francis healthcare. Thank you.

Erica is the best! She is very professional and knowledgeable! She was so good with my young daughter. And she’s usually pretty easy/quick to get an appointment with! Would highly recommend her!

Erica is very welcoming and comforting while being very thorough about your visit. Listens and understands your concern and will do anything to help! Very pleased with my visit!!

Everyone in the office was polite.

She was prompt and explained everything she did. The scope was not comfortable but she tried to make it as pleasant as possible.

Erica has ALWAYS been so incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Our little guy was getting repeated ear infections and she was always able to fit us in, get him treated, and even get him scheduled for ear tube surgery twice. We have always appreciated her input as well as her determination to get our kiddo feeling better. She's the best!

She has a great way of treating patients and is very friendly. I won't be going anywhere else but to her.

Erica is always willing to figure out what is going on with my child and how to fix the problem. She isn’t a doctor who sees you as another problem. She takes her time with each patient and is always willing to help.

She was very professional and very knowledgeable. Plus very very nice and sweet loved the nurses as well. I always have and always will choose St. Francis for this reason such WONDERFUL! People ty vmuch Bruce Smith
