Most professional, knowledgeable, thorough staff I have encountered in the medical field. As a patient, have been treated with respect... MORE and listened to very attentively by every staff member. Always answer each question and never rushes my treatment for any reason. Staff shows how much they care for each patient. LESS

Had a hearing test done. Quick, efficient, professional and provided great advice. Excellent atmosphere and staff!

From the minute I walked in I felt compassion. They take the best care of you from the time you... MORE walk in the door until you leave. They explain every procedure and never hesitate to answer any questions I have. They have even taken my calls after I leave to calm any concerns that I am having. When you are experiencing something strange and scary, it means more than anything to have medical staff listening to you and not treating you like just a dollar sign. They never rush me out from my appointment. I am blessed to have found them. Thank you American Institute of Balance. LESS

I had a great experience at American Institute of Balance! They are very thorough and explain everything you're going through!... MORE I still don't know what my problem is, but it has nothing to do with my Crystal's in my ears!

I give them 5 stars! LESS

I had the opportunity to attend a Vestibular Rehab Certification course offered by AIB in the Pittsburgh area and was... MORE THOROUGHLY impressed. Each clinician was extremely knowledgeable and personable across the board. The course was EXACTLY what I hoped it would be and accomplished everything that it purposed to accomplish. I highly recommend AIB for treatment of any and all of your vestibular related conditions and also for any clinician seeking to broaden their understanding of and ability to treat the wide variety of vestibular conditions. LESS

The Vestibular Rehab certification is one of the best courses I have ever taken. Instructors are excellent! Course organization and... MORE presentations are great with tons of hands on lab work. I look forward to more courses with AIB in the future!! LESS

The American Institute of Balance is very professional, compassionate, and life changing! I’m 68 years young and normally very active.... MORE After having a fall a few months ago I began suffering from vertigo. It prevented me from doing a lot of activities I enjoyed and needed to do on a daily basis. After only 2 visits I’m back to my normal active life. I will be giving my primary care doctor their information so they can refer other patients with “dizziness” to them. LESS

My journey started with feeling dizzy. After a quick stop in a local urgent care facility, I was provided with... MORE contact information for the American Institute of balance. First impressions were great. I called for appointment and was promptly scheduled. Friendly knowledgeable staff on the phone. Upon arrival: Plenty of parking. The clinic is modern, clean and professional. I was greeted by a friendly professional. My appointment started promptly on time. The doctors and technicians are totally focused on evaluating my condition. The combination of technology and patient care is superb. After being evaluated my diagnosis was BPPV. Luckily I was able to be treated the same day. The treatment worked and I feel 100% again. My follow up experience was identical to my initial visit. I highly recommend the American Institute of balance. Thanks to the doctors and staff for a wonderful experience. LESS

I have been a patient of the American Institute of balance for about a year-and-a-half I had terrible vertigo and... MORE they took care of me until it was done.

Amazing. I had no idea what to expect. My experience was absolutely delightful. The doctors and technicians are true professionals.... MORE Their knowledge, Care and competence were impressive. Aspects that I valued: 1. Communicating what they were doing and why they were doing it 2. Stabley Shang expectations for each step of the evaluation and keeping me informed of how long each test would take 3. Smooth flow from one aspect of evaluation to the next. No lost time ... waiting. 4. Excellent technology 5. I felt very comfortable with each procedure and evaluation because of the patient provider rapport. 6.

It's absolutely fantastic course. This is my second time attending. They piloted a joint Vestibular and Concussion Certification course which... MORE is great. I was certified 2 years ago and I'm up for renewal. This course is great to review my skills and I truly understand it better. I have always been interested in taking the Concussion Certification course as my next step. I'm glad they combined it. Great binder they provided and also it came with tools to help evaluate and treat! Overall LESS

I have suffered with Virtigo for many years. I used to think it was an inner ear infection only because... MORE the Doctors would tell me that’s what I had. One Doctor told me I was crazy and didn’t provide me with any clear resolution from the unforgiving dizziness and nuaxious feeling. One day I decided to tell my current Physician, Dr Kush Patel, about my experience with this sickly feeling of continuous dizziness and nausciousness. He was pretty upset with me that I had never said anything to him about this. I told him about previous experiences with other Doctors and why I was hesitant to be humiliated all over again. He sent me to the Institute of Balance. I went through a complete list of tests and after a couple of hours upon my initial visit they knew exactly how to fix it. I went through over 20 years of physical discomfort with Doctors telling me I was crazy or they were misdiagnosing the problem. NO MORE!!! The American Institue of Balance gave me a new lease on life!!! What do I like most about this office? They are caring! They listen!!! They know exactly what to do to fix me up. I no longer have attacks several times a month where I am feeling helpless. The duration between attacks are far less frequent. They are amazing and quick to take me in when an attack is occurring. The whole process just to feel better is about 20 minutes and that’s it, the dizziness is gone. The crew today were caring and knowledgable. Thank you!!! I went back to work a few hours later and I felt so much better. Thank you ladies!!! You made my day and once again I am feeling so much better. I recommend the American Institute of Balance to anyone that no longer wants to be hindered by Virtigo. Take charge and give them a call. Randal A Vallee LESS

Most impressive. There was little waiting, the offices were very clean and the doctors were personable and professional.

Very professional explained everything well and kept me informed of what would take place. Conference at the end explained what... MORE they found and what they would recommend to my primary. LESS

I want to thank each and everyone of you for your kindness and helping me with my vertigo and for... MORE being so very very nice. LESS

Exceptional performance by entire crew. Never thought something like this was even possible. I was greatly impressed. Thanks ever so... MORE much. A greatfull patient. Harold Midwall LESS

Received great evaluation from excellent staff

They made me feel comfortable and helped me find the problem and a plan to fix it. Thank you.

I cannot express the relief I feel afterI have experienced the Institute's quick and expert analysis of my balance and... MORE dizzyiness extreme discomfort- and fixed it! The doctors are gentle, strong and so capable in handling my distress and worry. I am so grateful the Balance Institute is so near and responsive when we need it! LESS

I have been a repeat offender, as they call me for several years. The staff is very caring and understanding.From... MORE the front door until I leave, they always make me feel welcome and comfortable.Dr. Gans, the founder has never hesitated to come in and help also. Awesome staff!! I'm so glad they can help me and get me in as soon as I need them . Love that place, though I don't love the vertigo!!! LESS

Why are so many people afraid to believe that there may be a better way to stop your dizziness by... MORE a simple non evasive procedure? I was told that I would have to use a cane the rest of my life and not be able to drive and now I am 73 running around and cane FREE. LESS

They were very knowledgeable and really helped me understand what was ailing me. I highly recommend if you are having... MORE balance issues. LESS

I was referred to American institute of balance from my dr because I was having dizziness and balance problems. The... MORE whole staff was superior, very caring of what you were going thru and went out of there way to explain everything to me so that I understood what I was going thru, because I had never heard of bppv before I was diagnosed with it. I have never been to an office that showed me how much they truly care about getting you well, They are very knowledgeable about all aspects of what they provide to there clients. I was treated by Dr Taylor Unger who is extremely knowledgeable, caring, professional in his area of expertise, I would not hesitate to highly recommmend him and his staff to anyone in need of his services. Above and beyond. LESS

My initial appointment & follow up appointment with Dr Unger at The American Institute of Balance was excellent! The extensive... MORE audiology testing to rule out any physical abnormality of my vertigo & the repositioning exercises to totally treat my diagnosis of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo was amazing! I am a Flight Attendant & my profession requires requires full physical & cognitive ability to perform my safety duties on the aircraft. The wonderful patient care & successful treatment for my vertigo enabled me to return to work within a few days. Many thanks to Dr Unger & the clinic staff for their compassionate & caring patient care. LESS

Short wait...very professional and was made to feel very comfortable...time did not seem to be an issue with the Doctors... MORE and a detailed summary was given at the end and all questions answered. My Primary care physician needed to be involve and he was contacted by AIB (not me) within 4 hours. My insurance did not cover this visit BUT, I will tell you I feel I received a lot more value from the visit than I paid for. LESS

I received great and professional attention from the medical team. I was surprised with the detailed tests and specialized equipment... MORE they used during my visit. Most of all the doctor saw me shortly at the end of these tests and explaind to me the results, and made feel great. I left the the American Institute of Balance very happy and uplifted. I strongly recommend this clinic to any one suffering from vertigo. Thank you LESS

After just the first day I learned so much that I know I will be able to apply to my... MORE patients on a regular basis. Excellent course! Staff is fantastic and instruct well. Plenty of room where course is held, nice, clean and very well organized. Tomorrow is my last day of the course. Can't wait to learn more! LESS

EXCELLENT!!!!!!.......As usual........

The NP and residents have been fabulous. Two hours of thorough testing confirmed what I thought was causing the vertigo.... MORE First treatment completed today. The people I've met there have been friendly and very informative. Have never met Dr. Gans during my two visits but I'm comfortable with the residents so don't find it necessary. LESS

It was very easy to book an appointment here.  I was not kept waiting long after arriving for my appointment.... MORE The person who took care of me was very confident and knowledgeable. I was told ahead of time that my appointment would run two hours so I was prepared and I felt as though they were very thorough. I was able to get the answer I was looking for and sent home with information. LESS

A great place to learn about all things vestibular.
