Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I’ve been seeing Dr Atkins for about 8 years, he has helped me a lot, he is really caring and dedicated and understanding, he is one of a kind.

Wonderful Dr
I first met Dr Atkins over 15 yrs ago and then needed his expertise on dizziness issues in the last few years- he is a wonderful doctor, caring and willing to persist at solving your issues- to me the ideal of a doctor the way we thought of Drs 60 years ago when (vs the sometimes Business model of medicine now).

Superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS)
Diagnosed by Dr. Atkins in 2011 when relatively few physicians had even heard of it. I suffered from vertigo, dizziness, nausea, inability to walk without assistance. How relieved was I when I found out I was not crazy or that it was psychosomatic. It took multiple operations over 3 years because I had it in both ears. Even after that I still had to have physical therapy. I can't even begin to express my gratitude. He was kind, gentle, and patient with me. I only wish there were more doctors like him.

Dr. Atkins took care of me after I developed bi-lateral vertigo, he is simply the best! I have never met a doctor more dedicated, caring, and gentle. He treats my dad for hearing loss as well. Highly recommended! We love you, Dr. Atkins!

I’ve been seeing Dr Atkins for a chronic condition. He is very caring and knowledgeable. I’ve had to reach out reach to his staff in between appointments and he has called me himself. Which is very rare for a doctor to do. He’s an outstanding doctor and I highly recommend him.

After suffering with Migraine Associated Vertigo for 2 years and visiting several different doctors, Dr. Atkins was the first doctor to help me. I was bedridden for 80-90% of the time and he’s worked with me for over a year to try to get me up and functioning. He is beyond kind to a difficult set of patients that need their doctor to hear them. Dr. Atkins not only listens and is the ultimate professional but his staff is just as wonderful. I cannot recommend this doctor more to anyone suffering with vertigo.

Ten years ago, I was misdiagnosed with Meniere's disease by a Harvard-trained ENT. After having to wear Scolpamine patches for 30 days to just get through the day and suffering anytime I would lie down, a friend recommended Dr. Atkins. He and his staff are the best! After two treatments I was completely cured. I highly recommend Dr. Atkins to anyone who has balance issues!

The best place ever !!! I was diagnosed with Vertigo (BPPV) left ear, They are the only place I know of that has a Chair that performs the epley manuveaur on you and you are cured when you are done !!! no surgery, no drugs !! 90% of patients that get this treatment are cured!!! It makes me sooo sad to think about how many people a day are living with this nightmare (BVVP) and get misdiagnosed every day!!!!

I was having the worse episode of Meniere's Disease. I had been vomiting with Vertigo for 20 hours having no sleep the night before. My husband called the emergency number that was given on his office recording. To our surprise Dr Atkins answered the phone at his house, listened compassionately and called in an anti nausea pill that was easy to take. By my 3rd dosage I fell asleep, awakened the next morning feeling much better.
