It was a very positive experience for me interacting with this provider. He was caring, kind and informative. He's directed me towards a new intervention -- Vestibular PT - and identified whom I can see for this treatment. He contacted the providers' office, and that office will call to schedule an appointment for me. Additionally, this provider checked with my insurance provider, and clarified that I can simultaneously have two types of P.T.
