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.
