How to get more dizziness patients

Adults call about a spinning room, feeling unsteady on their feet, or dizzy spells that keep coming back. This guide covers ads, calls and routing for BPPV, Meniere disease, vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis and general imbalance; tinnitus, hearing aids, migraine and earwax removal have their own guides. The ENT physician or treating clinician (the clinician below) evaluates the patient and decides the plan, including whether and which tests are needed.

In short

Speak to adults with dizziness in plain words, without fear or blame.
Keep landing pages simple: symptoms you see, evaluation, clinician, price, one way to book.
Book the evaluation with a short script that never names a treatment.
Relay only the MedlinePlus lines for urgent signs, then tell the clinical team.
Follow up with consent, without pressure, and track each request.

SearchAn adult looks for care near them.
Your pageWhat you treat, who sees them, one way to book.

How a new patient request reaches your practice.

1. Who the patients are and what they search for

Callers are adults with vertigo, lightheaded spells or poor balance; some bring a referral, earlier test results or a wish for a second opinion. They search for a vertigo doctor near them, BPPV, Meniere disease, inner ear dizziness or a balance clinic. Use the same words on your pages.

The MedlinePlus dizziness and vertigo page says “Dizziness and vertigo can happen to anyone, but they are more common as you get older.” So no blame about age. Aim ads at adults only, and never build audiences from health information.

2. Landing page basics

Name the symptoms you see. Care starts with an evaluation.
Give the ENT physician’s name and real credentials.
Give a starting price and what it includes. Self-pay patients may be entitled to a good faith estimate.
Show one way to book.

MedlinePlus says “Your provider will ask about your medicines and symptoms and may do a physical exam. They may check your hearing, balance, and how you walk.” The NIDCD balance disorders page says “Diagnosis of a balance disorder is difficult.”

So never say who needs a test, never name a treatment, and never promise any outcome. Avoid “stop the spinning”, “fix your vertigo”, “one-visit fix”, “risk-free” and “insurance will cover it”. Better: “the ENT physician will examine you, decide whether any tests are needed and talk through the options with you”.

3. The phone script

Staff collect answers and book. They never judge urgency, never say what condition a caller has and never name a treatment.

“Thanks for calling. May I take your name, your age and the reason for your visit?”
“Did a doctor refer you? Please bring a list of your medicines and any earlier test results.”
“The evaluation starts at [price]. Testing may be extra. We will check your plan, but cannot promise coverage.”
Which treatment, and will it work? “We cannot tell that on the phone. The ENT physician will examine you and decide with you whether any tests are needed and what the options are.”
“I can book your evaluation now. May we text or email you about it?”

Book adults only; pass any caller under 18 to the clinical team. Staff never advise on medicines, driving or home care; they pass those questions on. See the new patient phone script.

4. Routing and safety lines

Relay only what the sources say, each line that matches, then tell the clinical team right away.

The MedlinePlus dizziness and vertigo page says “Get emergency help right away if you have sudden or severe dizziness or vertigo along with vision problems, slurred speech or weakness.” Tell a caller who reports this exactly that.
The dizziness and vertigo aftercare article says “Call 911 or the local emergency number, or go to an emergency room if you are dizzy and have:” and lists “A history of prior stroke”, “A head injury”, “Fever over 101°F (38.3°C)”, “Headache or a very stiff neck”, “Seizures”, “Trouble keeping fluids down; vomiting that does not stop”, “Chest pain”, “Irregular heart beat”, “Shortness of breath”, “Weakness”, “Cannot move an arm or leg”, “Change in vision or speech” and “Fainting and losing alertness”. Relay these the same way.
The vertigo-associated disorders article says “Contact your provider if you have vertigo that does not go away or interferes with your daily activities. If you have never had vertigo or if you have vertigo with other symptoms (such as double vision, slurred speech, or loss of coordination), call 911 or the local emergency number.” Relay that.
The aftercare article also says “Contact your provider if you have:” and lists “New symptoms, or symptoms that are getting worse”, “Dizziness after taking medicine” and “Hearing loss”. Relay that and book the evaluation.
The MedlinePlus stroke page lists “Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg (especially on one side of the body)” and says “If you think that you or someone else is having a stroke, call 911 right away.” Tell a caller who reports this exactly that.

Callers who say they feel anxious, stressed or upset go to the clinical team promptly. If a caller says they are thinking about killing or hurting themselves, stay with them and tell them to dial 911 if it is an emergency or to call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, as MedlinePlus advises, then tell the clinical team.

Text or email only with the patient’s own contact details and consent; see texting patients and the TCPA. Follow up without pressure; see consultation to treatment.

Make referrals easy, and never offer or accept payment for them; see patient referrals for medical practices. Track each request from first contact to evaluation.

Where MediLeadGen fits

MediLeadGen sends practices requests from people interested in cash-pay elective treatments. Each request goes to one practice only, with the person’s consent naming that practice, at a fixed price per delivered request.

Questions practices ask

How do we get more dizziness patients?

Answer quickly, give clear prices and real credentials, keep claims inside the sources, and book an evaluation where the clinician decides on tests and the plan.

Can we tell callers which treatment they need or that it will work?

No. MedlinePlus says treatment depends on the cause. The ENT physician or treating clinician decides the plan after the evaluation.

What should the front desk do when a call sounds urgent?

Relay the matching MedlinePlus line from section 4, then tell the clinical team right away. If a caller says they are thinking about killing or hurting themselves, stay with them and tell them to dial 911 if it is an emergency or to call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, as MedlinePlus advises, then tell the clinical team.

Does insurance cover dizziness care?

Coverage varies by plan. Check each patient’s plan, and do not promise coverage in ads or on the phone.

General information for practice teams, not legal or clinical advice. Check device labeling, FDA requirements, state rules and your advertising with counsel and your clinicians. Last reviewed October 2026.
