He has always has greeted me with a hand shake and a smile each time I saw him. He is a true professional in every way. I highly recommend him to all.

The center is located on the ground floor of River Pavilion at Sentara Norfolk General. Enter off Brambleton onto Gresham then loop around through the back section of the complex to the covered entrance way to River Pavilion. Free valet parking is available for patients. The location is convenient not just for Norfolk but also Portsmouth, Northern Suffolk & Western Branch via the Midtown Tunnel. It's an easy drive for those of us in the northwest section of Virginia Beach. I would suspect that the areas of Chesapeake with easy access to the Downtown Tunnel & I-264 would also find it a convenient location. Only knowing that this testing was required before seeing the Otologist that my Otolaryngologist had referred me to, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The only thing I did know was that archaic inner ear testing by a Virginia Beach ENT decades ago had produced a violent reaction. Because of his bedside (chair side actually) manner I never returned. So I brought a driver. The two tests were scheduled for an hour each. So I knew they would be extensive. Hearing was first. I was amazed by both their high tech equipment and extensiveness. The techs were extremely nice, even showing me a computer printout of the graphic results at different pitches & vocal sounds. I didn't understand the hearing testing being required because my complaints never included hearing. But my later research indicated that hearing could be related to inner ear & balance issues. After they finished they sent me to balance, which I learned would be the area where I would be tortured. :) The technician was a very competent & compassionate administrator of torture, just the opposite of what I had experienced decades ago. The equipment was even more futuristic than hearing. Three tests were administered. I made it through the first two with mild results & thought, after the an explanation of the last test, I had made it through the regiment without a violent reaction. Wheww.... But not so! What I thought were just black goggles were actually computerized & measured everything going on as all three tests were administered. During the 3rd test I told the technician what it felt like my eyes were doing. She confirmed that they were, which was my first indication that she could see everything going on inside the dark cave my goggles created. I didn't even make it through the first half before the results gave her the information the doctor needed to work with. Afterwards she was very nurturing, which was much appreciated. As I sat on the table I told her that I wanted to research the science behind why that type of testing would make me so sick. She provided me with a pamphlet on all the tests which would be immensely helpful when I recovered. What was meant to be an hour test stretched into 1 1/2 hours before she walked me to sit in the lobby with my driver. "Don't worry", she said. "The Doctor won't torture you. That's my job." :) She was great. The paperwork to be completed before the testing was extensive. I feel that they gleaned more information for the Otologist from both the testing & paperwork than any other specialist I've ever seen. And believe me, that's quite a lot! I am so impressed with the EVMS specialists. The EVMS Hearing & Balance Center comes with my highest recommendation for anyone with inner ear issues. I've never had a hearing test before. But I can't imagine any practice being as thorough and well equipped as this. Thank you EVMS, not just for being a great medical school but also for the amazing practices of your faculty members. Coastal Virginia is very lucky to have you.
