Not sure what to say?

I haven´t used the Epley maneuver for several years, but I needed it for a long time, and I remain thankful for Dr. Epley´s research and knowledge and contributions to medicine.

My wife was a patient of Dr. Epley's, and his diagnosis and treatment were life-changing for her. I remember the patients in the waiting room at his clinic were from all over the country. We are grateful for the care she received.

I was just helped by the Epley maneuver today - what a remarkable legacy. I hope the family finds comfort in the millions he has helped and will continue to help. Kindest regards,

Dr. John Epley's contributions to the field of otolaryngology and his invention of the Epley Maneuver have left an indelible mark on the medical community. His dedication to improving the lives of patients suffering from vertigo and dizziness is truly admirable. May his legacy continue to inspire and may he rest in peace.

He was an amazing man.

Thank God for this man of science!

I had problems with vertigo for around half a year when my daughter in LA let me she had been diagnosed with BPPV and had the Epley maneuver done, which helped her. I followed a youtube video on how to do the maneuver at home but it didn’t help. Recently I told my doctor of my vertigo problems and she set me up with physical therapy. The therapist did the Epley maneuver on me and after turning my head from right to left (holding each placement for a minute) the vertigo was so bad I grabbed...

My condolences to Dr. Epleys family, and my deepest gratitude for his wonderful work. I developed BPPV a few years ago and the nurse practitioner at a local ENTs office was an expert in the Epley maneuver. Of course the treatment worked. Id never heard about it, but every physical therapist and every ENT now knows about it. Thanks, Dr. Epley
