The type of doctor you need to see for any kind of balance/dizzyness disorder is called a neurotologist. You find them in the ENT department of any major hospital. If you still have access to military medical, they have two really good ones at Bethesda and Balboa Naval Hospital. Also go to the Vestibular Disorders Association (VEDA) webpage at vestibular.org and go on their search engine to find a neurotologist near you for a full assessment of your vestibular balance system.
A regular neurologist will not be able to help with balance issues but you should go to one for a screening MRI to be assessed for more advanced brain disorders.
