In general, dizziness is poorly understood and often results in many visits to different providers without a known cause.
Vestibular Disorders Association (VEDA) conducted a survey of over 1,000 people who have seen a doctor for dizziness and below represents some of those findings:

5.5 doctors – the number of different doctors a patient saw when the inner ear was not mentioned as a possible cause at the initial visit compared to 3.8 if the first doctor mentioned symptoms might be inner related
