Default electronystagmography - ENG - where in Toronto?

Does anyone know where I could get an electronystagmography (ENG) test in the Greater Toronto Area?
I had one done in 2005 in the U.S. after being hit by a drunk driver.
Another accident 2010 and different neurologist who is little to no help and has a secretary with attitude.
Long story short - my eyes are jumping more than they used to. I'm falling more than I used to. Memory is worse than it used to be. I am scared.
Yesterday I called neurologist and requested an ENG.
Today the secretary called and said "we don't do them".
I asked "who does?"
She said "your family doctor".
I said "what if I don't have a family doctor?"
She said "go to a walk in clinic" and then ended the call.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd sure appreciate it.
Thank you.

Perhaps an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor could help you. They often deal with vestibular/inner ear and balance issues.

Best of luck to you.
