DENT Dizziness and Balance Center
Dizziness, vertigo and balance problems are the very common complaints in clinical practice. These symptoms can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life, and their overall safety. Over 90 million Americans, age 17 years and older, have experienced a dizziness or balance problem. 20 million Americans visit the emergency room each year for fall related injuries. Balance-related falls account for more than half of the accidental deaths in the elderly. According to the National Institute of Health, 90% of all causes of dizziness can be identified by a thorough evaluation. Nearly 90% of balance disorders, once diagnosed, can be treated successfully.
To fulfill the need of Western New York community, DENT Dizziness and Balance Center was established in October 2009. Under the Directorship of Dr. Lixin Zhang, the center will evaluate patients and determine the need of any further related tests, and then a treatment plan will be provided to your patients. At the present time, we can provide the Audiometric test, Videonystagmography, CT, MRI and 3 Tesla MRI. Eventually we will provide rotary chair test, posturography and on site vestibular therapy in the near future. It is our hope that the Center will provide the “one-stop shopping services” to all patients with dizziness, vertigo and balance problems in our Western New York local community.
