Welcome to the Ear Clinic.  Our mission is to provide affordable, sophisticated and accessible specialist dizziness and balance services to the people of North West London and beyond.  Based at our modern Therapies and Wellbeing health center in Harrow, we focus on delivering a holistic and integrated care to all our patients. 

 

Whether you feel dizzy, light-headed, giddy, unsteady, out of focus, faint, feel like the world is spinning around you (vertigo), unable to walk or keep falling – we are here to help.  We specialize in identification and rehabilitation of most common causes of dizziness and imbalance.  Our approach is tailored to patient’s needs and expectations, and our sophisticated consultation structure ensures patient’s comfort and trust.

 

We have all experienced the symptoms of vertigo, dizziness and unsteadiness at some point in our lives.  The balance symptoms can be debilitating and frightening.  In some cases they can be so severe and persistent that people experiencing them may have to stop working and socializing.  This can lead to the reduction in quality of life, isolation, anxiety and depression.  It becomes a vicious cycle – the dizziness will cause anxiety and vice versa. 

 

That’s why it is beneficial to seek professional help – here at the Ear Clinic we offer a direct access to dizziness and balance care, without the need to see your GP first.  We don’t have waiting lists, and you do not have to go to the hospital.  The consultation lasts 45 minutes and we use the latest, state-of-the-art technology to derive at an accurate identification of the problem.  Following the consultation, we will design a course of highly-specialized balance rehabilitation therapy therapy that will help to get you back to normal living.

 

We are a team of health professionals, whose specialist interests lie in the area of treating people with balance disturbances. In very occasional situations, we may have to refer you for further medical consultation.  Reassuringly, we work alongside prominent Neurologists and ENT Consultants in the area, allowing you access to the best medical care.
