Chronic dizziness
<p>Dear Samy, Thank you for the copy of the GP letter. I would also like to add that I cannot stress how grateful I am for your home visit to see mom; in the light of which I have implemented your recommended changes and advice, which have helped make mom more stable and comfortable than she was before you saw her. I have also stopped the medication Cinnarizine, which in itself made a drastic difference. She is also sitting upright and in a chair and her vertigo has now all but dissipated. She is still somewhat slow to speak and remember, but the overall difference is quite remarkable and I am now a lot less anxious. She has been seen by an experienced Stroke/TIA neurologist and she is awaiting an MRI. I thank you for your kind efforts. Kindest regards</p>

BPPV
After suffering dizziness and a balance problem for 5 months, I was recommended to The Dizzy Care Clinic. Numerous doctors visits, an MRI scan, and several visits to an Osteopath were followed by 2 visits to Samy. After the second visit, I was discharged, with an exercise plan to help regain my confidence with balance. I cant thank you enough and would have no hesitation in recommending you and your clinic. Many thanks and best wishes.
From Elaine in Bridgnorth. February 2020.

Vestibular disorder
Earlier this year I suffered a severe bout of dizziness and contacted Samy for help. After only three sessions I was so much better and came away with some very useful exercises to keep the dizziness at bay. I would strongly recommend Samy. Dizziness can be very frightening and can cause enormous loss of confidence. Samy’s manner is kind and reassuring. He takes time to listen and to explain the cause of symptoms. Treatment is adapted to individual needs and is carried out skilfully and with care. I completed my sessions with Samy with confidence restored, knowing I could manage my dizziness.
Many thanks Samy.

Anterior canal BPPV & Complex Vestibular issues
<p>This is an update on my July 2019 feedback In June 2019 I had been suffering from Vertigo for the previous ten years. I saw several doctors and I was given medication which did not help. One doctor diagnosed me with BPPV. I found Samy on the internet, visited his Clinic and he diagnosed me more fully with a rare Anterior Canal BPPV, Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction and Convergence Spasm of the Eye. Since receiving treatment from Samy one year ago I have had no recurring problems with Vertigo/Dizziness. In his letter to my GP, he included a request for an MRI brain Scan. I waited four months to see a consultant and six weeks later I had the scan, the result of which was normal. I am very grateful to have found Samy from whom I received professional treatment which has changed my life enabling me to do the things I was not able to do - particularly dancing. My life has returned to normal since I saw him and I cannot fully express my gratitude to Samy who helps people who are suffering with this awful, stressful, and frightening condition, which the doctors dont seem to understand or know how to treat. I hope he gets his Clinic up and running again soon, because there are people out there who need his help. Thank you again Samy and God bless you.</p>

Vestibular disorder
<p>I have had a remarkable experience with the DIZZY CARE clinic and especially with consultant SAMY. I had supposed vertigo according to my doctor which was awful. I found the clinic online and emailed Samy in the morning and had a reply by lunchtime. he arranged an appointment the next day to be done by WHATSAPP. His diagnosis took 40 minutes using questions and then looking into my eyes using the phone. He then started the treatment using my phone watching me all the time doing the exercise prescribed. and within one day it was cleared up. However 4 days later I had a completely different attack on a Saturday morning, emailed Samy immediately, he replied at lunchtime and again arranged an appointment on that Saturday evening using my WHATSAPP on my phone. a different set of exercises and using my phone to watch my eyes throughout. I have no further attacks of either problem now for 10 days. JUST BRILLIANT BL</p>

Post Covid -19 Dizziness
<p>I was reffered to Samy for help with my severe Vertigo, as we are in a pandemic with Covid-19 Samy arranged to consult me via zoom. I was a little sceptical at first but was willing to give it a go and i,m glad i did. Samy was very polite, professional and caring, he fully discussed and explained my condition and put me at ease. Having virtual appointments may not appeal to all but its better than suffering in silence. I am able now to return to work and carry on with my life. Thanks Samy.</p>

BPPV- Posterior Canal Canalithiasis
<p>My Story<br />
I was diagnosed with BPPV over 20 years ago.I had vertigo on and off for the first 10 years. Had lots of appointments with consultants which I would wait for for months. It was quite a scary and miserable time. At that time I did not know anyone with vertigo.I was given medication and had about 3 manoeuvres nothing seemed to help. Most of the advice I was given as I remember was to be careful of putting my head in positions that would bring it on.<br />
The following 10 years were a lot easier with only a few mild attacks that did not last long. In August I had the worst attack I have ever had. Next day I phoned the doctor to see what was new in the treatment sadly he said things were just the same and offered me an Epley manoeuvre which I refused so he suggested the Brandt-Daroff exercises. It took me about 2 weeks to get the courage to do them.In two seconds it brought on an attack as violent as the first. Spoke to a different doctor she suggested I see a consultant but it would take months.<br />
I searched the internet and luckily found Samy.My first impression of his website was that it was too good to be true. I was very wrong.I got a prompt response and an online (FaceTime) appointment the next day. I had 3 sessions with Samy which he included my husband which was a great help as I was very anxious. He explained very clearly what was happening and diagnosed me very quickly. After my 3rd session, I was feeling a lot better and Samy has given me the confidence to live life to the full without the fear that I could bring an attack on. His treatment, kindness and knowledge was the first class I would definitely recommend him.</p>

Vestibular migraine
<p>I was suffering badly from daily bouts of dizziness and nausea which were having a detrimental effect on my quality of life. I had frequent appointments with GPs , various hospital consultants, an MRI scan, an echo cardiograph, but with no success. Both hospital consultants signed me off saying they could do nothing for me.<br />
At this stage I contacted Sami who arranged appointments by Zoom. He diagnosed vestibular migraine. Nobody had mentioned this before! Again by Zoom he started me on a programme of exercises and a diet. After about 4 months my symptoms have nearly disappeared and i am now working on improving balance, again with exercises recommended by Sami.<br />
I was initially sceptical about using Zoom rather than face to face contact but in reality it worked very well.<br />
Thanks for all your advice. Best wishes</p>

Visual & Proprioceptive dependency
<p><br />
In March 2021 I had a severe bout of dizziness and sickness resulting in admission to A & E. The diagnosis was Vertigo. Unable to stand (needing a wall alongside or someone to lean against)<br />
I was then referred to The Dizzy Clinic and met 'Sammy' 'Virtually' due to Covid , I had weekly sessions and daily exercises to do.<br />
The result has been amazing. I have back my confidence and rarely needthe aid of a walking stick. All of this without oral medication.<br />
Thank you Sammy</p>

Vestibular migraine
Samy was very helpful and gave useful practical advice/guidance. He helped me with my vertigo which he said was vestibular migraine. After emailing him he got back in touch with me within 48 hours and using facetime gave me advice. He has a lot of knowledge on vertigo and ways to help get over it. I know if ever the dizziness occurs again I know what I have to do to stop it. I would recommend Samy to anyone.

Vestibular Migraine & Motion Hypersensitivity
<p>Excellent diagnosis and role model treatment plan.<br />
I am writing to thank Sammy for the excellent care and treatment he offered my mother whilst in his admission. My mother was suffering from regular dizziness for the last 40 years which suddenly became very aggressive within the last 12months.<br />
Many visits to local GPs and hospitals always ended in varying medication which in turn was having an impact on my mothers wellbeing, so I searched the WWW where I came across DizzyCareclinic.<br />
Samy’s initial diagnosis was extremely accurate and the treatment regimen structured for 12 weeks has now allowed my mother to return to a normal life with very little returning dizzy spells since!<br />
Samy was extremely courteous, positive, compassionate and always very professional. Treatment was held via virtual 1-2-1 appointments with a ‘medicine free -natural action plan’ issued after each session. A special thanks to Samy for taking time to methodically and accurately diagnose the migraine type which was causing the dizziness as many other doctors and consultants had simply given up or just prescribed medication. “ ****Highly Recommended 5/5 ****</p>

BPPV
After suffering severe dizziness and spinning episodes for four weeks and getting nowhere with the gp I found the dizziness clinic on the Internet. I left a message and Samy was back in touch within 20 minutes and arranged an on line consultation for the next day.
He assured me that he would cure it and he totally did. I was amazed at the instant diagnosis after a few minutes-- it was bppv--and the treatment that followed. All done remotely but with calm and positivity and total professionalism.
After 24 hours of taking it easy with no physical exercise or quick movements, I was relieved of all symptoms. Absolutely brilliant. I cant thank Sam enough . Dont wait or suffer - just give him a ring or e mail. He will help you.
Many man thanks.

Multi-Sensory Balance issues
<p>Hello Samy I would like to say a big Thank you for the help you have given me in massively improving my ability to balance. It has been a number of years that I have had this problem with visits to the GP and specialists with no results. I finally found you so it is worth persisting even when I thought I would just have to live with it. I have followed the exercises religiously for 12 weeks and am much improved.I also know now what I need to do should my balance deteriorate once again. I was pleasantly surprised that the consultations could be done remotely as physical tests could be done via Zoom and exercises sent by email. No travelling and social distancing ! Ideal. Thank you for your help once again, Samy</p>

Vestibular Migraine & PPPD
<p>I met with Samy virtually after a long 18 months of mis-diagnosis from the NHS and had reached a point where they were unable to help further, Samy in 1 session correctly diagnosed my dizziness and in fact flipped everything on its head, meaning I was now doing the right things. He continued to support through 6 sessions. I now live pretty much dizzy free but, know how to manage it, I have my life and self-confidence back</p>

<p>Zoom Video Consultation<br />
<br />
Dear Samy,<br />
I am so grateful to have found someone who reassured me that it was possible to be healed, during a Pandemic.<br />
I had been diagnosed with BPPV before, three weeks ago I had another vertigo attack, I made a phone call and you managed to see me on that day, remotely!<br />
After 2 other sessions, with 2 Maneuvers, the BPPV subsided and I was told that it is possible now to return to my normal life.<br />
I had had BPPV before, and the Maneuvers were done in person, by the Doctor. I didnt know it was even possible to do these online! However, with your patience, guidance and expertise, I am now returning to my normal life - vertigo free...<br />
I am very grateful, and I feel comforted with the reassurance that I can have your support, at any time in the future, even during challenging circumstances, like a Pandemic!<br />
Please feel free to share this message, for anyone out there, who might not be living their lives in full, waiting for it to pass...they need to know that is possible to be healed during these times!... Thank you for your healing, thank you for your kindness and patience!<br />
All the best,</p>

Your timely assessment and exercises helped settle my vertigo quickly and enable me to get on with my daily activities and day job.<br />
Having vertigo is unpleasant, as I found out, and having you available via phone for advice was reassuring and encouraged me to pursue with the correct exercises to hasten recovery.<br />

Vestibular Migraine & PPPD
<p>This is Divya from India, mother for 4 year old. I was suffering from severe dizziness. I had to run through number of tests from MRI for brain and neck, eye test and blood tests and consulted many specialists including a neurologist without much improvement from my symptoms. I was exhausted and vexed. I didnt know how to live with this. I had sever anxiety because of these issues and I had given up.<br />
I was referred to Samy by a physiotherapist from Bangalore. I arranged for a virtual appointment via WhatsApp but i was very doubtful if this will work. Samy diagnosed me with a vestibular migraine and PPPD and he gave me 3 months time to see the proper results.<br />
The treatments were combination of vestibular and balance exercises and lifestyle modifications. I strictly followed the treatment plan and I could feel better in step by step consultation then I started believing I ll be alright soon.<br />
Today I am writing this post not to just thank Samy but also to all those who look into my feedback, there is help out there.<br />
I am perfect now.<br />
Thank you Samy.<br />
God bless you.</p>
