Patient Feedback

I have suffered with Vestibular migrane and PPPD for 17 months and for the first 3 months I was so ill because of the dizziness and many other symptoms that come with it that I couldnt work and could barely function. After being incorrectly diagnosed I went to a private neurologist to get a proper diagnosis. After following a migraine diet, taking medication, changing how much sleep I get, water intake and many other lifestyle changes I was back at work part time but still not able to live a normal life .
After a while I decided to seek further help so I could take part in daily life more and have periods of time that I wasnt dizzy. My GP wasnt keen to help and my referral to the neurologist through the NHS got declined.
After searching online I came across Samy ànd made an enquiry. Samy immediately got in touch and has been having regular online appointments with me for quite a few months. Samy confirmed my diagnoses and gave me more life style changes and lots of vestibular exercises to do. Each week he would review my progress and then change and add exercises as appropriate.
Since working with Samy I have made many improvements and am able to function much more normally. When I do get a migarane attack they are less severe and dont last as long. I am able to manage them much better now with the help of Samy.
This time last year I thought I would have to miss out on so much because of my illness and although there are some things I will always avoid like rollercoaters, concerts and boats I am able to do lots more with my children that I worried I wouldnt be able to do again.
Thanks for all you help Samy its much appreciated

Hi Samy
After twenty three thankful days of being dizzy free I feel I can write to you about my thoughts on this unfamiliar status.
For nearly twenty five years I have coped with chronic dizziness, sometimes at a low level and others at disturbing high level. It was always there. Sometimes, I would get out of bed and fall over due to imbalance issues. These were days of malfunction and having to stay off work.
I am a retired school teacher and this caused work issues as you can imagine. I felt woolly headed for a lot of the time and found concentration challenging.
My quality of life was decreasing and I was clinically depressed and placed on anti-depressants.
Since being a patient of yours recently and you diagnosing and successfully treating the problem I have had no reoccurrence of dizziness or imbalance issues.
The plague has left and I can get back to being myself after all these years. I was never diagnosed before and certainly not given any therapy or support and was resigned to coping with this for the rest of my life.
It was steadily getting worse. I have had countless scans but to no avail. I cannot thank you enough for this liberation. People often make fun of dizziness and imply drunkenness... take more water with it attitudes. It is not funny. It is scary and life limiting. I am so glad to be rid of it.
I can recommend you and your practice without hesitation.
Best Wishes

In 4 visits you were able to target my balance and migraine issues and put me on the road to success.
Best wishes.

The sessions I have had with Sammy have helped me so much with my dizzy spells and helped me greatly

After weeks of unsuccessful doctors visits and multiple medications, I stumbled across the DizzyCare clinic.
I emailed and received a response and online appointment the same day.
Samy put me immediately at ease and after only two appointments I am feeling much better.
I would not hesitate to use the dizzy clinic again although am hoping I wont need too.

I have been suffering with recurring bouts of BPPV for some time now, having had my first attack whilst on holiday in Cyprus 6 to 7 years ago, and then suffering at least twice a year.
Since then the GPs have been palming me off with various medications, initially Stemetil/prochlorperazine and more recently betahistine. These have provided some relief, but have never been that successful in suppressing the symptoms, which have sometimes been quite extreme.
My wife discovered Samy’s dizzy care clinic on Google and we decided to get in touch. An amazingly quick response from Samy himself - the same day in fact - and, in no time at all, we had booked our first online consultation.
After just two additional sessions, a couple of Epley Manoeuvres and a range of simple exercises, my BPPV vanished, and has not returned since. If it does, we feel confident we can undertake the exercises ourselves at home.
I can’t t thank Samy enough – BPPV can be quite a debilitating experience, but he has convinced me that there is no need to wait for medication or suffer again in silence.

Thank you so much Samy for assessing me so quickly. I emailed via the website on Thursday evening and by Friday I was booked in. Samy was so thorough and informative and diagnosed my onset of dizziness as a withdrawal symptom from coming of SSRI’s. After seeing doctors/GPS all week and diagnosing me with all sorts and prescribing me with anti sickness, I was conscious that I didn’t want to take further medication and was keen to try something natural. I was also extremely anxious and I was so glad to hear Samy say that the dizziness will pass. Thank you again Samy, forever grateful to you for putting my mind at rest.

I am well pleased with how far I have come. I am able to do a lot more with everyday tasks.
I feel more confident within myself interact more with social activities with my family.
I have appreciated the help you have given me I have found your session really good.
Keep up your good work working with patients who have vertigo balance difficulty and other health issues

Hi Samy, we would both like to thank you for helping Alice at what was a very stressful time.
She was really suffering from the dizziness both physically and mentally and when no-one else was able to give us any answers you were able to provide us with much needed help.
Without your intervention I am sure it would have taken much longer for her to begin her recovery.
You not only gave us a diagnosis which we could take to NHS so that they would listen but also gave Alice practical steps to address her acute symptoms and start dealing with her dizziness.
As it is, the mental health reasons behind/effects of her illness have been revealing and are leading us on another journey but we are in a much better place to approach things calmly.
We really appreciated the quick response we had from you in answering our initial enquiries and then how quickly we were able to arrange an appointment.
Although the meeting was all online (due to distance) the questions you asked and the tests you did were very thorough and at an affordable cost.
Thank you so much

Samy's excellent lifestyle advice and course of treatment has given me back my energetic life that I thought I had lost for ever.
Following a left temporal lobe stroke, I became chronically dizzy, with frequent episodes of vertigo and nausea and other neurological symptoms. After six months I was finding it increasingly hard to do anything at all normally.
My GP did not see me personally. During a brief phone call he was dismissive of my questions and was only prepared to trial symptom relief medication, which made me worse.
Fortunately, Samy was recommended to me by a friend who had been treated by him. I was given a wonderfully quick response and detailed assessment questionnaires followed by a face to face screen consultation (FaceTime video).
It was such a relief to be told at the first appointment that Samy knew what was wrong and could help me. I had developed chronic vestibular migraine as a result of my stroke, with secondary PPPD.
Within a week of starting drug free lifestyle treatment my constant dizziness and nausea had subsided and I was able to continue with progressive exercises to correct PPPD.
Some of the Lifestyle advice was initially challenging to follow, but so worthwhile that it is now habitual.
I am symptom free and Samy has given me the tools I need to manage migraine attacks when they do occur in the long term.
I am hugely grateful.
