Summary

  • I am a board-certified neurologist and fellowship trained neuro-ophthalmologist. I have focused my practice on the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular system disorders since 2003 and began my solo practice which is now known as "BalanceMD" in 2007. BalanceMD is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of dizziness, vertigo, imbalance and hearing loss. We have only the most highly trained and skilled team of physician, audiologists and physical therapist working together to significantly improve or cure symptoms of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance.
