Default ENG/VNG Clinic in NW US?

Hi,

I sustained a concussion March 2011 and I have been dizzy ever since.

I live in Canada and despite the fact that our health is free, it can be very long wait times depending on priority.

Because I can work, drive, and otherwise carry on my life with relative ease (most people wouldn't even know I have PCS - but most of you on this group know that with PCS just because you look fine, doesn't mean you're fine), I am low on the priority list.

After seeing several doctors, I finally found one who would even refer me to an ENT. The ENT has referred me for tests, but the ENG/VNG machine is broken. It is at least a 6 month wait time for the ENT even if I travel to another major Canadian city. If I continue to wait in Calgary, Alberta (where I live), it will be 6-12 months wait time the ENG/VNG test.

Can anyone recommend me a specific ENG/VNG clinic in the US North/west with a low wait time?

So, like Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, LA, San Francisco?

Also, if you had an idea of the cost for this test, as I'd be paying for it out of pocket?

I've found a family doctor who has been really helpful, so a referral should not be a problem. Considering the circumstances, I also might be able to convince my ENT to provide a referral to a US clinic if referral from a specialist is needed.

Thanks.
