Review for Vestibular Disorders Association, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

It is vital to have a credible source of valid information available for people struggling with vestibular disorders, because it's a bit the 'wild west' out there in terms of what you might stumble upon when searching the internet for help in this area.
I regularly point my patients to this organization for education, validation and resources to help them with their recovery. VeDA is a small group of dedicated, hard-working people doing big things!

Review for Vestibular Disorders Association, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a Vestibular Physiotherapist who has been treating people with dizziness and balance disorders for 20 years, VEDA has been an extremely valuable resource for my patients and my practice. For many years I've utilized VEDA's excellent and reliable patient education materials, their resources for professionals and their Provider Directory to help people find help from vestibular medical professionals in their area.
Now that I am fortunate enough to be on the Board of Directors, I've come to appreciate the hard work, passion and dedication from those 'behind the scenes' and am amazed by how much is accomplished by so few. We are committed to serving and advocating for those with vestibular disorders, with the vision of an international community where vestibular patients are rapidly recognized, diagnosed and treated.
Those with vestibular disorders frequently encounter a lack of understanding and support from their medical, insurance, employment and social communities. VEDA is working hard to change this, so I encourage everyone who has or cares for a person with a vestibular disorder to consider joining and supporting this wonderful and necessary organization.
