Details

I am a neurologist who specializes in vestibular and otoneurology. I see patients with the chief complaints of dizziness, vertigo, and eye movement abnormalities such as nystagmus. You can see me at the Northwestern Neurology clinic in downtown Chicago. A few of the conditions I treat include vestibular migraine (VM), benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), mal de debarquement syndrome (MdDS), vestibular paroxysmia (VP), episodic ataxia (EA), downbeat nystagmus (DBN), cerebellar ataxia and dizziness from structural problems of the brain, persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD), Meniere's disease (MD), bilateral vestibular loss (BVL), and many more similar conditions.
