I asked why I feel fluid moving in my brain, he responded I don't know which was the answer to most my questions. I'm 71, had my vertigo episode April 26. I am in PT to learn how to walk unassisted. His recommendation to me was to do yoga.

Always a good experience, I never feel rushed, I always feel like all my questions are getting answered and the doctor isn't getting any type of attitude towards me for having questions. I would refer so many people here.
