Patient Feedback

My 11 year old son had been suffering constant dizziness for several months and as the NHS waiting list for a neurology appointment was 14 a week wait, he undertook four sessions of physiotherapy with Samy. All his help and advice was greatly appreciated which included exercises, diet, lifestyle changes and reduction in electronics (although my son was less enthusiastic about not being able to do and eat what he wanted!), but definitely helped his eventual recovery. He provided an extremely professional and friendly service and I would not hesitate in recommending his services and was worth the 3 to 4 hour round trip! Thank you so much Samy!

After a 2 year period of re occurring balance and dizziness problems, my GP suggested I may like to get in touch with the Dizzy Care Clinic. Being at my wits end with the condition, I thought why not anything is worth a try. After a 3 month period of vestibular physiotherapy, what a difference this has made to my quality of life. My balance system is now generally under control with the occasional bad day, which I was advised how to cope with. Just being able to walk a distance and enter a Shop without a problem is something I thought I would never achieve again. With the Dizzy Care Clinic's excellent understanding of patients’ needs and with their support and guidance, I have no hesitation at all in recommending them to anyone suffering from balance, dizziness or similar conditions

I visited Samy at his dizzy clinic in 2013 and 2015 for help with vertigo/balance difficulties. He quickly assessed my needs, listening carefully, with empathy and understanding. Samy taught me a series of practical exercises, which enabled me to regain my balance. Should the need arise in the future, I am now confident I can effectively apply them for myself. He has a wide range of knowledge and experience. I highly recommend his service.

I suffered catastrophic vestibular failure in Dec 2012 combined with BPPV due to gentamicin toxicity following surgery. I struggled along for several months before I was fortunate enough to find Samy. Within minutes of meeting him he diagnosed bilateral BPPV, and over two sessions corrected this, he also started me on a course of vestibular rehab therapy to try to improve my balance and various other problems that I had. Over the following months ( which did turn into years as I still see him now!) I saw him regularly and with his fantastic help and support I have improved far more than I ever believed would be possible. On my part I did work hard making sure that I did all the exercises he gave me each visit - (however odd some of them seemed!) as I realised that I had found the one person who truly understood my problem, and had the knowledge, understanding and ability to do something about it. Samy is not only fantastic at what he does, but he is also kind, patient and supportive. As a family, we will never be able to thank him enough for the difference he has made - There is no doubt whatsoever that without his help, so many aspects of my life would be far more difficult and challenging than they are now.

I attended the dizzy care clinic on numerous occasions.Sammi was more than helpful.Not only very skilled in his field but a very understanding person.If there is anyone who can encourage and create a programme tailored to suit your needs then he's the man.He will build the V.R.T exercises slowly over increments so you gain confidence and stability.He is always there to return to and doesn't push the course of treatment upon you but after noticing improvements it is beneficial to be guided by him as he knows what he is doing..thanks again Sammi...

After visiting The Dizzy Clinic three times for consulations with Sammy and following his recommendations I am completely cured. I have suffered for a long time with dizzy spells which were brought on for no apparant reason. These spells made me very sick and put me to bed for days. After visiting Sammy, taking his advice about my diet, doing a few simple excersises I am now completely cured and as an extra bonus I have lost 2 stones in weight without trying to diet. Thanks to Sammy I now have a life again.

I attended the Dizzy Care Clinic as a patient with many complex illnesses, most of them causing dizziness, so I knew that Samy would only be able to help me to a certain degree. He was very attentive and empathetic to my circumstances of being ill long-term. I felt he understood my challenges more than other healthcare professionals! He decided the best way he could help me was by tackling my Vestibular Migraine through lifestyle modification, which included diet changes, no technology and sleep regularity. I committed to these changes for 4 months. The biggest improvement was my migraines became more managable in terms of pain intensity to the point that I could spend less time in bed during the day. Thus I could do a little bit more in the day since my reduced migraines also reduced my dizziness and imbalance. It was a relief to finally have stability in my home environment. Although I didnt continue at the Clinic, because I have so many other underlying illnesses I need to resolve, Samy taught me the healthiest ways possible to take control of my migraines! His advice was invaluable and kindness greatly appreciated. I will not forget the help he has extended to me on my illness journey. Thank you Samy and God Bless Feb 2018

While I knew my balance was deteriorating,until an inner ear problem, I did not realise how much I was losing my independence. From the first appointment I was given the hope that the situation could improve. I was given the 'tools' to work with,but needing a consistent effort from myself to achieve a positive result. With time I have regained not only my self confidence ,but greatly improved my life. Finally made it! Thank you again for your help.

'My illness started at work with stroke-like symptoms where I was taken to hospital in an ambulance. After many tests, taking several months, I was diagnosed with Vestibular Migraines. I had been suffering from constant dizziness, vertigo and nausea since the start of my illness and my neurologist recommended treatment with Samy at The Dizzy Clinic. The first few sessions were tough because I was constantly 'spaced out' and unable to stand up straight for more than a few seconds. After working hard on the exercises at home and listening to all of Samys advice I began to see a dramatic improvement. By the fifth session, Samy re-assessed my balance and discharged me. The difference from session 1 to session 5 was dramatic and I was astonished at how quickly I had improved. I would strongly recommend Samy to anyone experiencing balance/dizziness issues. I just wish I had found him sooner!

Dear Samy, I suffered from Vertigo for about four months in 2017, following a fall while on a sailing holiday last summer. Fortunately for me, a friend of mine suggested I contact you at the Dizzy Clinic. I am a keen tennis player and never having experienced anything like this before, found myself unable to live a normal life. I was amazed to learn that physiotherapy was for me the best solution to my problems of dizziness, not conventional medication as one might expect. At my consultation, you immediately diagnosed my problem and began treatment there and then. I was given a set of balance exercises to practice at home and following a number of appointments; I was given the all clear. My sincere thanks to you for all your efforts to help me get my sporting and normal life back. Kind regards K Gammon Wolverhampton, West Midlands
