Patient Review

Last year I was in a car accident, but it was only a minor fender-bender. I was fine for a few months but I noticed my vision started getting blurry and I was getting weird dizziness spells and headaches. After one particular bad spell I decided to seek some help. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Minh. After an initial consultation, I decided to sign up for the exam. This was the best decision I’ve ever made. The whole time, Dr. Minh was extremely thorough and could figure out exactly what areas of my brain weren’t working properly, and causing my dizziness. After the first visit I came out of the office feeling 40% better. A month later, I’m glad to say that I’m almost 100% normal. If you have any dizziness problems, don’t hesitate to go see Dr. Minh.

WHAT IS DIZZINESS?

Dizziness is a term used to describe a range of sensations, such as a spinning sensation, unsteadiness, feeling faint or woozy. It is the second most common complaint heard in doctor’s offices today.

Although dizziness is extremely common, there can be many different causes for dizziness. Because there are many different causes, specific testing needs to be done to identify the cause of the dizziness. Once that has been identified, a unique treatment plan can be implemented to fix the cause of the dizziness.

Many facilities have cookie cutter treatment plans for dizziness. At Norcal Brain Center, we do not believe in this approach. We find that in a lot of cases, it is ineffective and produces limited results, and often times will make the symptoms worse. All of our treatments are specific to the individual’s findings.
