Ozark Health: "Be cautious of Stanko Vux - attending emergency physician. He will want to do unnecessary tests and charge you. He ordered blood work after we refused his suggestion of MRI,etc. Of course, everything was fine to the tune of almost $400 for him to read a blood test. Apparently he needs money, so be careful." - G.
