It starts with a free consultation, not a commitment.
The initial consultation is free and may take place in person or by phone. Dr. Gates and his staff review your health history, answer questions, and explain what may come next.
The consultation is separate from the full case workup and does not include an examination, diagnosis, or care plan.
The case workup guides the care plan.
If you choose to continue, Dr. Gates uses a detailed workup to decide what care to recommend. He chooses the parts that fit your case. Plan for up to three hours.
VNG records eye movements to help assess the inner-ear system involved in balance.
- Full neurological examination.
- VNG eye-movement testing.
- Memory and thinking tests, also called cognitive testing.

- Brain-based or other exercises.
Ongoing care follows Dr. Gates's recommendation.
Care programs range from 1 to 14 weeks, based on Dr. Gates's recommendation. Most plans include one or two visits per week.
Dr. Gates may repeat lab work or other tests when needed. You can ask for copies of any tests the practice performs.
What this care is, and what it is not.
Dr. Gates bases care on the case workup and any tests he orders. Care may include exercises and office visits. He is a board-certified chiropractic neurologist.
This care works alongside your primary care provider and any specialists you see. It does not replace them. The clinicians who prescribe your medicine remain in charge of it. Gates Brain Health does not promise a result.
