Vestibular Disorders Clinic

The Duke Vestibular Disorders Clinic offers three services:

  • Comprehensive vestibular laboratory testing (VNG, Rotary Chair testing, and Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential – or VEMP – testing).
  • Otological medical evaluation
  • Vestibular rehabilitation with a trained and experienced vestibular therapist (PT)

Our goal is to use state-of-the-art assessment techniques and contemporary medical assessment to diagnose and treat disorders of the vestibular system. Any or all of the three services may be scheduled by the referring physician.

We do accept "self-referred" patients but encourage prior evaluation by the primary care physician, as there are many potential causes of dizziness, and we will be able to address those that affect the vestibular system specifically.

We work in collaboration with other Duke physicians and patients who demonstrate evidence of central vestibular pathology can be referred to a neurologist experienced in the evaluation of these disorders if requested by the patient or the referring physician.
