Dr Fouret treated me for vertigo (vertige) a couple of times before, when my ear was infected by…read morethe sea water. The vertigo would go away after one session. Yesterday (4 Jan 2019) I suffered from a terrible episode of vertigo in the morning, and I was desperate for treatment. I called Dr Fouret's office and was told that he was completely full! I begged the receptionist saying I had been there before and that I couldn't even stand up. She kindly offered me a slot, but I had to arrive NOW! I got there and Dr Fouret attended to me in about 5 minutes. He remembered my case very well, and proceeded to check my ears. Then, he led me to a chamber, where he put a mask/goggle over my eyes, which seemed to be connected to a machine. I couldn't see anything, but he asked me to keep my eyes open at all times. He held my arms and chin, and pushed me to the right hand side of the bed. My head was spinning, and I was sick. He kept asking me to keep my eyes open. Then he pulled me up and steadied me. Then he pushed me to the left, and this time the world was turning violently! I felt scared and nauseous. He assured me it would stop, and that I had to keep my eyes open. This spinning lasted about 1 minute, and eventually it stopped. He sat me up and explained that this would make my brain 'adjust' (l'habituation) to the inner ear imbalance, caused by some calcium buildup (calcul or crystal) in my inner ear. The crystal will eventually move away from the inner ear and I would be back to normal. At that point, when I was sitting up, I vomited!! It was messy and I was embarrassed. But he was kind and gentle and assisted me without any aversion. I didn't understand all the French, but he gave me a sheet (in French) that explained the manoeuvre (the exercise that I had detailed above) in text and graphics. Although I felt nauseous the whole day and had to stay indoors, I trusted Dr Fouret and in the evening, with the assistance of my partner, we did the exercise twice. It wasn't easy because the vertigo was so severe I thought I would rather die. But because I persevered, it went away. I slept much better and when I woke up, I didn't have the dizzy spell. Still, I am being careful, and try not to bend down, or move my head too quickly. So far so good. Merci Docteur Fouret. Sang Fung Nice

I have tried calling during the hours they insist they are open -- 10 times - correct -- and 10…read moretimes the same recording plays, telling us their hours and saying to hang on, the call will be answered. No - it will not. After the information about their availability, the line goes dead. If we can't REACH a doctor - which is a very usual problem in Nice, I find - - I must give his communication a One Star. Sorry to have to do it. The gentleman may be a top notch doctor -- but this is impossible. And by the way, Yelp: 4 other numbers for 4 other doctors are WRONG. At least this one has someone answering (a recording I mean) to say it is indeed the offie of Dr. Bence.
