Searching for a vertigo doctor or dizziness specialist in Kathmandu? Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav (NMC 8029) at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center (Durbar Marg, Opposite of Yak & Yeti Hotel, part of Clinics Tree) is a neurologist with 15+ years at National Trauma Center (NAMS) who systematically evaluates vertigo, imbalance, and chronic dizziness — including vestibular migraine, BPPV and neuro-otologic causes.
Topical authority
While general clinics triage dizziness to ORL or generic medicine, a neurologist-led evaluation distinguishes inner-ear, migraine-related, and central nervous system causes using history, exam, and targeted tests.
Detailed description of each episode (onset, duration, triggers, position changes), neurological exam, hearing and positional assessment, medication and migraine-review, then targeted investigation only where indicated — including vestibular testing, MRI where needed, or ENT/neuro-otology referral.
A focused neurologic assessment separates benign and dangerous causes, avoids reflexive CT/MRI scanning, and builds an individualized plan — whether that is repositioning maneuvers, migraine-based management, vestibular rehabilitation referral, or reassurance with follow-up.

Verified credentials
Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav (NMC 8029), Consultant Neurologist at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center and National Trauma Center, evaluates vertigo and dizziness with detailed spell history (onset, duration, triggers, positional component), neurological and vestibular exam, and targeted investigation — distinguishing BPPV, vestibular neuritis, vestibular migraine and central causes before treatment planning.
Short-lived rotational vertigo triggered by rolling over in bed or looking up is typical of BPPV. Positional testing under examination can help identify it, and specific repositioning maneuvers are often the first-line approach when appropriate.
Vestibular migraine, inner-ear disorders, cardiac, metabolic and medication factors can all present as dizziness. The neurologic history and examination narrow the cause; cross-referral to ENT/neuro-otology is arranged when the picture is predominantly otologic.
Dizziness with sudden weakness, slurred speech, facial droop, double vision, severe headache, or inability to stand is a possible stroke — seek emergency care immediately.
