Kristy McGill, a McKinney resident and the mother of twins, has found an innovative way to stretch her back-to-school budget. She’s bidding on health and wellness services — like eye exams and teeth cleaning — on DealWell.com.

“This year I was very happy when a friend told me about DealWell. I logged onto their site and was amazed with the great deals I found on dental exams and cleanings for my kids. As you know, with twins everything is ‘times two,’ so I’m shopping for the best quality at a great price. DealWell saved me a substantial amount of money that I can use toward other necessities, and the best part is the dentist we chose is great…we will definitely use him again,” says McGill.

DealWell.com is a Dallas-based company that enables customers to compare, bid and save on health and wellness services online. The site is available year-round and can be a valuable resource for parents anytime, including during high-volume shopping days, like right before the new school year, says Geoffrey Fischer, DealWell president and co-founder.

This year, economic indicators predict a four percent growth in back-to-school shopping over last year. Fischer says the deals on DealWell.com can help families offset the money they’re spending on school supplies with a smaller bill at the optometrist or dentist.

“Families will find great deals from high-quality providers for their back-to-school dental and vision needs. Plus, we’re focused on keeping kids healthy, which means fewer medical bills down the road and better grades,” he adds.

DealWell has more than 900 offers from 200 providers across the Metroplex, in nine major categories: chiropractic, cosmetic surgery, dental, eye exams and LASIK, hormone therapy, massage, medical imaging, medical spa and day spa, and weight loss management.
