Details
I am a vestibular and LSVT-BIG (Parkinson's Disease) certified therapist Located in West Philadelphia/University city. I completed my vestibular certification at Duke/Emory University in March 2024 and completed Ivy Rehab's year long vestibular residency program in June 2024. I am able to see patients with direct access (no prescription) if insurance allows. Our clinic accepts most insurances including Medicare and Medicaid. We aim to schedule new patients within 48 hours. For straight forward BPPV cases, we are very flexible with scheduling and may be able to accommodate same day appointments. Out clinic provided ride service based on zip code. Vestibular First infrared goggles are used during evaluation. Translation services available.
