Patient FAQ
What causes persistent dizziness?
Persistent dizziness can be caused by vestibular disorders, migraine, inner ear dysfunction, or neurological conditions. Specialist assessment is often required to identify the exact cause.
When should I see a specialist dizziness clinic?
If your symptoms last more than a few weeks, keep returning, or haven’t improved with treatment, a specialist clinic can provide a more advanced and accurate assessment.
What does a typical patient journey look like?
At Hypatua Clinic, we provide a structured, specialist-led pathway designed to give you clarity and start treatment as early as possible.
1. Initial Specialist Consultation
Your first appointment is with Amy, where we carry out a detailed assessment of your symptoms, history, and vestibular function.
2. Begin Treatment Immediately
In most cases, we start treatment during your first session, including targeted vestibular rehabilitation or repositioning manoeuvres where appropriate.
3. Escalation to Advanced Diagnostic Testing (if needed)
If your symptoms are complex or require further investigation, we arrange advanced vestibular and audiological testing to gain deeper diagnostic insight.
4. Specialist Medical Referral (if required)
Where medical intervention is needed, we escalate care to Professor Soumit Dasgupta, ensuring a seamless transition to specialist medical management.
This structured pathway allows us to move efficiently from assessment to treatment — while ensuring you have access to consultant-level expertise if needed.
I’m already under a consultant — can I book tests directly?
Yes.
If you are already under the care of an ENT consultant, neurologist, or other specialist, you can book directly with us for advanced vestibular and audiological testing.
We regularly support patients who:
-
Require detailed diagnostic testing
-
Need additional insight to guide ongoing care
-
Have been referred for specialist vestibular assessment
We can also provide detailed reports to support your existing consultant and ongoing treatment plan.
Can dizziness be treated?
Yes — most dizziness conditions can be effectively treated or managed once the underlying cause is accurately identified.
Do I need a referral?
No — you can book directly with us. We also accept referrals from GPs and healthcare professionals.
What should I expect from my first appointment?
You can expect a comprehensive, specialist-led assessment, clear explanation of your symptoms, and in many cases, treatment starting in the same session.
