​​Your Award Winning Comprehensive
Balance and Dizziness Center

Proudly serving the Austin Area Since 1996

At 360 Balance & Dizziness, our mission is to value every individual and meet the healthcare needs of patients and their families that suffer from dizziness, hearing and/or balance disorders. All of our services will be provided in a warm, compassionate environment that is not just a person-centered model but a relationship-centered model. ​

​Our relationship-centered model goes beyond providing a service or treating an illness but focuses more on the whole person, which includes involvement of other family members/caretakers and providers. We also value the importance of education and providing information that continues to be helpful over time. We are all a team. Despite the thousands and thousands of patients we have seen collectively over the years, we know each person must be treated uniquely.

​Our specialized staff combines advanced technology with a personal touch to provide a unique experience for those suffering from dizziness and balance problems. We hold certifications in our area of specialty and are also recognized nationally for not only providing but developing best practices. We are honored to have received Austin’s Top Clinic Award by the Austin Business Journal for 12 years in a row. But, most of all, we are eternally grateful for hundreds of providers that refer their patients to us and the greatest compliment of all has been the recommendations we have received from previous patients.
