He reassured me that it was positional vertigo and not any of fears I had , told me about the YouTube video demonstrating the maneuver to help with vertigo.

    Doctor Esper will review the brain MRI and only then he will be able to suggest a treatment other than what the patient is already undergoing (PT, OT, Speech Therapy). Doctor Esper also recommended a Swallowing test to address the swallowing issues. He made several good suggestions during this visit regarding dental care as well as therapy for alcohol abuse. Also, suggested to increase caloric intake in order to gain weight. Very please with appointment and am looking forward to communicating with him as soon as the MRI results are available. It's unfortunate the wait is too long.

    Dr. Esper was very caring, detailed explanations, and focused. He is reaching out to my healthcare team to provide care for the next time I have a flare of symptoms. He took adequate time, and I did not feel rushed. He is the best neurologist I have had on my team. Instead of trying to prove my symptoms did not warrant neurological care, he acknowledged my problems and is planning for my future care. I felt he believed I had a problem instead of discounting my symptoms. Neurological problems do not always have a clear pathway for diagnosis-- but he acknowledged that my symptoms were descriptive of a neurological disease even though we can't pinpoint the cause or provide a listed diagnosis. It is reassuring to feel (after five years of bouncing back and forth) that the next time I am bound to a walker and lose my independence, there will be a medical team to address the issues and provide relief. Kudos to Dr. Esper.
