With proper diagnosis and identification of the type of BPPV (benign positional paroxysmal vertigo), treatment often takes one visit, and then your world can quickly be righted (literally) again. Dr. Haas is well versed in treatment of BPPV, and she can quickly hone in on the problem to help get rid of it asap.

Curious what the signs and symptoms of BPPV are? If these sound familiar, she can help…

  • Dizziness or sensation that surroundings are moving and spinning (vertigo) which occurs with positional changes or turning of your head, and often resolves within minutes

  • Loss of balance, especially when turning head or changing directions

  • Underlying nausea and/ or vomiting in conjunction with above symptoms
