Its Been A Bit

I has been some time since my last post. I have been very busy working on launching my new office, The NeuroVisual Center of New York.  I am very excited to be able to treat VH and other binocular vision disorders full time.  In the meantime, I have been treating many patients with dizziness and headaches at my general practice location.  I continue to see so many interesting cases and find this work extremely fulfilling.

A wonderful case that I saw last week was a young woman who always felt off balance.  She had what she would describe as brain fog and suffered from an acute anxiety about falling. She finally found out about VH through a chat room about dizziness.  I will never forget the joy on her face when I told her I could help and that her symptoms were not in her mind. On her initial trial framing in the office all of her symptoms decreased to practically zero within 20 minutes. This was definitely a wow moment!

Update, on my very first patient with VH that I treated since finishing my training with  Dr. Debby Feinberg in Michigan. The patient was accepted into her college of choice and will start in the fall. A huge accomplishment for a young woman whose life was severely altered after being thrown from a horse.  Her prism glasses not only helped her complete her applications but allowed her to enjoy life again.
