VNG, Audiologic, CDP, Evoked Potentials
Our diagnostic testing only protocol is designed for physicians who need diagnostic studies for a patient, and don't need the thorough work-up that is done during our comprehensive evaluation. The studies that are performed will be based upon the referring physician orders, the patients’ current symptoms, and the results of the studies that are performed during the actual examination.
Diagnostic testing in our Balance Lab is conducted by our Audiologist Mark Cheple, who has over 20 years of audiometric and vestibular testing experience.

The studies in * asterisks* are part of our standard test battery in our balance lab. For more information on what the purpose of each test is, click here.
* A report will be mailed to referring physician indicating the significant findings and the recommended treatment plan for the patient. The complete testing data can be also be sent if requested for your patients records.*
