Medical Ear Piercing in Bend, OR
Why Medical Ear Piercing instead of obtaining piercings at the mall?

About 3% of the population is born with nickel sensitivity, but 25% of people with pierced ears develop a nickel allergy/sensitivity. Ear piercing and wearing metal earrings can cause this condition.

Using a medical-grade plastic stud, which contains zero metal/nickel, significantly decreases the risk of developing a nickel allergy through ear piercing. Medical-grade titanium studs can also be used to decrease this risk.

Medical Ear Piercing also eliminates transmission of blood-borne viruses by using single-use, sterile cassettes that are disposed of after each piercing.

Looking for better care for you and your family?
If you are tired of the current health care system, you are not alone! No one wants to wait months to see a different doctor at each visit or face going to urgent care where the wait time and providers are unknown. People are frustrated by calling their doctor’s office with a simple question and not getting through to a live person or waiting days for an answer. Health insurance is also becoming increasingly unaffordable as costs continue to rise and folks often have to pay even more to use it. Most of all, people just want to be heard and respected, which is difficult to accomplish when most doctors are only allotted a few minutes with each patient.
