As I reflect on this New Year’s Day 2010 on the past two years, I want to thank Dr. Scopelliti for giving me back my life. Two years ago this month I was blessed to locate Dr. Scopelliti on the internet. Doctors had told me that I just had to accept that I would be living in a corner of my sofa unable to move for the rest of my life. One month after beginning treatment with Dr. Scopelliti I went from my world being the corner of the sofa to traveling to Cancun for a conference. Four months later, I was dancing on the stage at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas with Elton John. Five months later, I realized life-long dream of standing on Corcovado Mountain with the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio looking down on the city below. Eight months prior I was told by doctors that my world would consist of the corner of the sofa. Dr. Scopelliti opened it for me beyond what I thought could ever be possible again. I also am grateful for being able to walk again without assistance and for be able to do the things such as moving your head without fear that we normally take for granted. For this alone, I would have been grateful. I highly recommend Dr. Scopelliti to anyone who reads my comments and has experienced their world shrinking to the corner of their sofa. Make an appointment and follow Dr. Scopelliti’s treatment to get your life back. He truly and sincerely cares about you.

Hello All,
I just wanted to tell you about the fabulous result I have had while being treated by Dr. Scopelliti for my vertigo! After recently being diagnosed with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, BPPV, I was fortunate enough to find him while searching the Internet for help and information. My first experience with BPPV was approximately 3 weeks ago. I went to bed and after my head hit the pillow, I felt such an intense episode of dizziness that I was afraid it might be a stroke. It felt like a short circuit of some kind in my brain, and it scared the heck out of me! A few minutes later, I tried to get up and walk across the room. I was barely able to keep my balance and by the time I got back to the bed, I had to grab onto the mattress to avoid hitting the floor. I then had to steady myself for a minute before lying down again, at which time that horrible wave of dizziness returned. In the morning, I got up slowly and felt very unsteady and nauseous all day, not to mention stressed to the max! I immediately went to see my Primary doctor who told me it was probably BPPV. He sent me for an MRI of the brain (my request) and to an ENT who confirmed the diagnosis. So, the good news was that it was a benign condition, but the bad news was that neither doctor could tell me how to get rid of it, except for slight relief from a drug that only masks the symptoms and makes you feel tired all day!!! I spent the next week sleeping in a chair because I was afraid to lie down, and searching for answers online!! Then, while researching vertigo, I was blessed to find Dr. Scopelliti’s website and now my BPPV is a thing of the past!! To say that I am happy with my outcome would be a gross understatement!
If you are suffering with this, please don’t wait! After only 2 treatments, my BPPV was totally reversed!! My first treatment was on a Monday, and by Wednesday night I was comfortably sleeping in my bed again, drug free!! I would never have believed it if it hadn’t happened to me!! Plus, he taught me easy exercises that will help with the mild motion sickness I have experienced since childhood (different than BPPV), and will enable me to maintain optimum balance as I grow older.
Please do yourself a favor and see Dr. Scopelliti ASAP! The sooner, the better. The man is AMAZING and his staff is the BEST!! Wherever you are, he’s worth the trip!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Dr. Scopelliti!!

Happy Halloween to you too.
I continue along as before—–still think you were the best of the professionals I consulted. Most knowledgeable, most helpful, most compassionate. Why more isn’t known about this condition remains a puzzle.

In February, 2009, I was diagnosed with Vertigo. When seen by a neurologist in the Emergency Room, I was told that people with Vertigo learn to “live with it”, and I was prescribed Meclizine (Antivert). This was very upsetting to me, especially since during my first experience with Vertigo, I had lost me balance and fell in my classroom in front of a room full of students.
A colleague and friend of mine recommended that I see Dr. Scopelliti, but since I was told there was no cure, I was apprehensive and decided not to make an appointment at that time. As time went on, I began to realize how Vertigo was significantly affecting my life. In July, after 6 months of daily dizziness and inbalance, I decided to give Dr. Scopelliti a call.
I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am that I made that decision and how much that phone call changed my life in a positive way.
After 3 visits, I was cured!! It was nothing short of a miracle! Dr. S. and his staff are wonderful and truly dedicated to all their patients.
Dr. Scopelliti is the most professional, caring and thorough doctor I have ever seen, and I will forever be grateful to him for giving me my life back!
If you have Vertigo…You don’t have to learn to live with it. Don’t waste another day of your life thinking that!

Dear Dr. Scopelliti,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for curing my vertigo. I’m so happy that I made the decision to see you. In many ways, you gave me my life back!
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Dawn White
you may receive this twice doc, i didnt know if it went thru on the guestbook
Dear Doc,
I am sitting here reading your last email to me about my condition….yes thats right folks an email from my doctor!!
Thank you so much Doctor S. for caring about my condition. Caring enough to send several follow up emails when I was having a problem.
After about six specialists, countless misdiagnosis, tears and frustration I finally found you and thank God I did.
After only 1 visit I felt better and now after several more I know i am well on my way to being “normal” again. I know with your guidance and treatments I will again feel myself. Your knowledge is amazing , how you understand how i actually feel. NO other Doctor has been so understanding. My family has seen a huge difference in me, and I have FELT the difference.
I know im not quite there but have no doubt I will be completely fine. I see a light at the end of a long dizzy unbalanced tunnel.
ANyone who is at the end of their rope, frustrated and so tired ….hope is not far away.
So Thank You again to you and Deb and Janet. Every time I walk in the door of your office I feel welcomed and relaxed. Deb is a true best friend and Janet was so supportive and compasssionate when I called the first day in tears.
Hope is not far alway to those of you living in “dizzy” world.
With sincere gratitude,
Nancy
Dr. Scopelliti
I apologize for sending this so late after being seen in your office from March-April 2009.
I wanted to Thank You for helping me eliminate my migraines. In the past several months since I was discharged from your care, I have had only one migraine. You have helped me to realize that when you have a medical problem, you need to seek out someone who will treat you and listen to your symptoms.
When I came to see you in March, I was having headaches everyday.
I hope you are enjoying your summer.
With much thanks, and gratitude.

Hello Dr. Scopelliti,
This is James Luciano. I wanted to tell you and thank you for the work you have done already; I find myself now doing math out of nowhere, which I have never been able to do, including formulas and equations. This is an educated household and I’m finally able to at least keep up during dinner conversations. Your treatment has also helped my PTSD. When I feel that crazy feeling coming on now I have a much greater ability to reason out and analyze where the feelings are coming from, thus allowing me to get over the episodes much quicker. And as soon as my agent gets off of my behind and I get this book done, which Dr. Brooke calls “My confessions” I look forward to returning to treatment. I want to thank you for being a very good doctor—and a pretty cool dude.
James.
Dear Dr. Scopelliti,
I want to thank you for everything. I have a chronic imbalance condition for over 13 years and with your treatments I feel so much better . I still have a lot of work to do but I know that I am finally on the road to recovery thanks to your guidance and expertise. I did not want to see another doctor ever again because I had gone to so many (at least 7) and they did not listen to me or care about how I was feeling. My husband read about you in the local paper and convinced me to call. I am so glad that I did! You make me feel comfortable and I am so impressed by your knowledge and understanding of this kind of syndrome. Also your website is so informative and impressive. I also want to thank your staff, Janet and Debbie for being so kind and thoughtful and understanding of my condition. WOW!!! Due to my progress, I have referred several family members and friends that could benefit from your expertise. For those who are reading this…I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Scopelliti !!!!! He is amazing!!!!
Hi Dr. Scopelliti!
I first want to tell you that I have not had vertigo in over a week and a half. So far, that has been the longest time without a bout in months; thank you!!!
Sincerely,
Bonnie
Hi Dr. Scopelliti,
Thank you for such quick followup. I haven’t heard anyone say they ever received an email from their doctor!! This is pretty cool of you..
Thanks again, Kathleen
“I am so happy to have my life back. Living with vertigo was a very unpleasant time for me. After going to the Er, 2 visits to my regular physician and an ENT, it seemed no one had a cure. On my fifth week with vertigo, I did my research online to find Dr. Scopelliti. I was scheduled for an appointment quickly and was given an easy and thorough diagnosis. Dr. Scopelliti thouroughly diagnosed me with BPPV whereas all the previous doctors said it was a virus that would go away in only couple days. After one treatment, I was completely cured! Anyone with vertigo does not need to live with it. Five weeks was enough for me. I have been doing just wonderful! Dr. Scopellitti. you are an expert in your field. Thank you very much!”

Dear Scopelliti,
I wish to send my sincere gratitude for relieving my symptoms of vertigo and for the help you are giving me to improve my balance. It was a great change from the ” you just have to live with it ” response from conventional physicians to a ” we can solve this problem ” answer I received from you. Thank you again for improving my quality of life!
Kind regards,
Ron Ryder
I want to thank you for taking so much time with me. You had cancellations and instead of taking the time for yourself, you admitted you had cancellations and chose to spend the time with me. I don’t know of any other doctor that would do that. A two and a half hour visit is unheard of in a doctor’s office!
I also thank Janet for letting me cry on her shoulder. Debs kind heart as I call to make an appointment shines through and her empathetic ear let me know I was going to be taken care of. Even hearing little words of encouragement from the staff is so helpful ~ Thank you girls.
Obviously doctor, you are well admired and respected by many of your patients, but I know by the medical professional as well. My chiropractor in Southern Maryland at home would not have suggested I drive 4 hours to see you if it weren’t so.
It was well worth the trip and I’ll do it again in a heart beat if I need to. In fact, my husband and I felt so confident in your diagnostic technique with my vestibular problem and dizziness that we plan to bring our daughter to see you regarding her learning disabilities. In the whole scheme of life, when you’re talking about health, function of life, and quality of life, four hours is nothing.
I just began rehab at home per your instructions and need to take micro breaks just to write this, but I have a new found hope that I will be able to write and read during longer intervals. My new groovy glasses are worn continuously. I have already gotten doubt from my piers and friends, but they just don’t understand and I don’t expect them to. I know that if they met you they would and maybe have an idea I’ve my daily struggles.
Some day I will be able to ride my bike again, get my heart rate up again, and maybe even swim and race again. In the mean time, I thank you for working with me via e-mail, since I am 4 hours away, and to monitor my progress and guide me through this journey of vestibular rehab.
I also appreciate you working with my chiropractor down here who is going through the chiropractic neurology courses in order to help me better. We are both blessed to learn from and be helped by the best. You truly are being heavily used by God and are an extension, or what I call a vessel, of His Grace.
Fondly,
Meg McNeely
I heard Heidi is amazed at you! I knew she would be. I have never sent anyone who has not been as happy as I was. You do an amazing job I am so honored I know you!
Brightest BLessings at the time of Yule and beyond.
I am always your friend and will be around if there is ever anything I can do , do not hesitate to call upon me.

Several years ago, I started experiencing occasional dizzy spells that lasted for a few seconds. Over time; however, the events progressed in length and became more frequent. I still didn’t think much of it until I experienced a significant dizzy spell while walking up the street in New York City in June 2006. The event was so significant that I ended up in the hospital. Over the next few days and weeks, I had all the tests for everything from heart attack, stroke, reduced blood flow to the brain, blood work for a myriad of possible deficiencies ranging from diabetes to thyroid and so on. Nothing of concern was discovered, yet I continued to suffer from this condition.
Eventually, I decided to change ear, nose and throat doctors to get a second opinion. I was desperate. After a number of unsuccessful visits, my new doctor recommended Dr. Aldo Scopelliti.
I met with Dr. Scopelliti, went through a series of tests and received a diagnosis. He said he could help me, and help me he did! Within a few weeks, I returned to a completely normal functioning state. When no one else could even offer hope, Dr. Scopelliti gave me my life back.
Dr. Scopelliti is one of the few people I trust completely. He has always acted in my best interests since the day we met. You cannot ask for more than that in a doctor. If you are suffering from dizziness or vertigo, I urge you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Scopelliti. You will be very happy you did.”
Very truly yours,
Jim

“I just got home and took a bath and for the first time in over a year I was able to relax while I was lying there, thanks to you, Dr. Scopelliti. As you said to me today after I apologized for not jumping up and down upon you telling me I think we got it this time it will take some time to be convinced that I can have my normal life back. I keep catching myself acting as if I am fearful of doing something that would normally induce an episode that could last on and off for weeks. I was able to bend down and tickle my son’s belly and it felt amazing to enjoy it instead of having an anxiety attack. If I had a million dollars I would give it to you and ask you to spend a few weeks traveling the country helping others who are NOT being helped. I will keep up with coming in to see you, even if it comes back or not. You are a wonderful doctor and you not only treat the person and the problem, but make your patients believe in the idea that things will get better. I still have some anxiety and hopefully time will make that better. There is so much I want to do and so much that this problem has kept me from enjoying. I miss being me, being free and relaxed and able to enjoy life. I meant what I said when I told you that I was going to write to all my doctors and Oprah and anyone else that I think might benefit from knowing what you do and more importantly who you are. My family and I thank you for all you do and in knowing the struggle that is managed care and you do what you do despite all of that because you believe in what you can do for others.”
Thank you. Michelle Julian and Brandon Bermudez.
