I am Dr. Prateek Porwal — DNB ENT, CAMVD certified, with over 13 years treating vertigo and inner-ear disease. At Prime ENT Center we run a full vestibular lab (VNG, fHIT, posturography) so the diagnosis comes from data, not from hunches. Patients travel to us from Lucknow, Kanpur, Shahjahanpur, Sitapur and across Uttar Pradesh.
Every patient gets a structured vestibular work-up before any medicine is written. Guessing at vertigo wastes months. Measuring it doesn't.
Posterior, lateral and anterior canal BPPV — including canal jam and canal switch cases other clinics have given up on.
Read about BPPVSudden one-sided vestibular failure with nausea, imbalance and spinning sensation lasting days to weeks.
Read about neuritisMigraine that presents as dizziness, motion intolerance and brain-fog — often misdiagnosed for years as "cervical".
Read about vestibular migraineRecurrent vertigo attacks, fluctuating hearing loss and ear fullness. Managed with diet, medication and vestibular rehab.
Read about Ménière'sChronic dizziness that hangs on after the trigger has gone. Responds to a combined vestibular + SSRI + VRT approach.
Read about PPPDChildren do get vertigo — vestibular migraine of childhood, BPPV, labyrinthitis. We test them gently, without anaesthesia.
Read about paediatric vertigoAudiometry, OAE and tympanometry under one roof. Hearing aids trial and fit. Tinnitus retraining therapy when needed.
Hearing & tinnitusTympanoplasty, septoplasty, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, DCR and endoscopic sinus surgery done in-house.
Treatments & proceduresMost dizziness patients in India are handed a Vertin tablet and sent home. That is not medicine, that is surrender. Here is what an actual vertigo workup looks like.
High-speed infrared cameras record every eye movement during positional and caloric testing — so we can see the nystagmus the eye hides from us.
Tests each of the six semicircular canals separately. The only way to catch subtle canal paresis that VNG misses.
Quantifies balance across six sensory conditions. Essential for fall-risk scoring in elderly patients and for tracking rehab progress.
For patients who cannot travel. Structured tele-consult with history scoring and bedside video review. Not a quick WhatsApp chat.
I completed MBBS from GSVM Medical College Kanpur, DNB ENT from Tata Main Hospital Jamshedpur, and my vestibular training (CAMVD) from Yenepoya University Mangalore, with further clinical work in Bangalore and Kolkata. I run Prime ENT Center in Hardoi as a solo clinician-researcher because I wanted the vestibular lab to match the one I trained on — not a cheaper version of it.
Every month of "let's see if it settles" is another month of falls, missed work, and a brain that gets worse at compensating. Book a proper workup instead.

Long-form writing on the conditions I see most. Written for patients, not for search engines — though the search engines seem to like them anyway.

I'm probably biased. But if you want the honest version — you want somebody who has a full vestibular lab (VNG, fHIT, posturography), who has formal neurotology training, and who publishes in peer-reviewed journals. There aren't many of us in this part of UP. I run Prime ENT Center in Hardoi and I have done this for 13+ years.
BPPV is the most common cause of spinning vertigo. Tiny calcium particles (otoconia) fall out of place and land inside one of the semicircular canals of the inner ear. It is not "low BP", it is not "weakness", it is not "acidity". It is mechanical and it is fixable — usually in 1 to 3 sessions — with canalith repositioning manoeuvres like Epley, Semont or Gufoni. For the rarer anterior canal BPPV, we use the Bangalore manoeuvre.
Bedside tests first: Dix-Hallpike, supine roll test, head shake test, head impulse test, positional testing. Then, if needed: VNG for detailed eye recording, fHIT for individual canal testing, audiometry and OAE for the hearing side, and posturography for balance scoring. A good history is 70% of the diagnosis — the tests confirm it.
Yes, for patients who cannot travel to Hardoi. It's a structured tele-consult, not a two-minute WhatsApp message. Book through the clinic number 7393062200.
Most commonly: Hardoi itself, Lucknow, Kanpur, Sitapur, Shahjahanpur, Lakhimpur, Bareilly, Budaun, Farrukhabad, Kannauj, Etawah, Sandila and Shahabad. If you're travelling from far, we plan the visit around a single-day diagnostic block so you don't waste a trip.
Consultation charges are kept modest — significantly less than what you would pay at a metro tertiary centre. The lab tests (VNG, fHIT, posturography) are priced individually based on what you actually need, not as a fixed "package". Call 7393062200 for exact current rates.
No. You can walk in, or book directly. If you have earlier reports, bring them — they save time and help me not repeat tests you've already done.
Straight line to the clinic. Replies usually within 24 hours on working days.
