As an ENT specialist, I often see patients who don’t realize their dizziness, unsteadiness, or “spinning” sensations may actually stem from the vestibular system. This is the delicate network of canals and sensors inside the ear that help your brain understand motion and spatial orientation.

When this system is disrupted a whether from vestibular neuritis, benign positional vertigo (BPPV), or even inner ear infections - it can make you feel off balance, lightheaded, or like the room is moving.

If you’ve been feeling unsteady or dizzy, it’s worth getting your ears checked. A comprehensive ENT assessment can help identify the cause and get you on the right path toward better balance and confidence in your movements.

Your balance is more connected to your ears than you might think! If you’re in the GTA and would like to see me, please request a referral through your family physician or a nurse practitioner.

Fall colds are on the way and while most will clear up on their own, it’s important to know when lingering symptoms might mean something more. If your congestion lasts longer than 10 days, worsens after initially improving, or is paired with facial pain or fever, it could be a sinus infection rather than just a cold.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Staying ahead of your health means listening to your body. Don’t hesitate to check in with your physician or ask for a referral to see me if symptoms persist. 👩‍⚕️​​​​​​​​

Recurring sore throats can stem from a variety of causes, including viral or bacterial infections, allergies, acid reflux, or even structural issues such as enlarged tonsils.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✅ Common colds or flu​​​​​​​​
✅ Strep throat or other bacterial infections​​​​​​​​
✅ Seasonal allergies or post-nasal drip​​​​​​​​
✅ Acid reflux (GERD) irritating the throat​​​​​​​​
✅ Chronic tonsillitis or enlarged tonsils​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
While many sore throats are short-lived and improve on their own, persistent or frequently recurring symptoms should be evaluated. If your sore throat lingers beyond a week, is severe, or keeps coming back, it may be time to get it checked out.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Your family physician or nurse practitioner can refer you to an ENT specialist like myself. I’ll help identify the underlying cause and provide treatment options tailored to you.

Did you know that many Canadians over 40 are already experiencing hearing loss without realizing it?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As we age, the tiny sensory cells in the inner ear (called hair cells) naturally begin to break down. These cells are responsible for converting sound vibrations into signals our brain can process and once they’re damaged, they don’t regenerate. That’s why gradual hearing loss is so common as we get older.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Some early signs to watch for include:​​​​​​​​
✔️ Difficulty following conversations in busy or noisy environments​​​​​​​​
✔️ Needing to turn up the TV or radio louder than others prefer​​​​​​​​
✔️ Frequently asking people to repeat themselves​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I recommend having your hearing checked at least every 2–3 years after age 40, or sooner if you’ve noticed any changes. Early detection not only helps protect your hearing but can also make a big difference in your overall quality of life.​​​​​​​​
