Expedited Concussion Services
Our expedited concussion services include evaluating and treating patients who have sustained concussions and other types of mild traumatic brain injuries. Our patients include children of all ages, from birth through young adulthood.
Comprehensive Concussion Care Specially Designed for Kids
Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment are critical in promoting a healthy, full recovery after a concussion. Our team of pediatric neurologists is dedicated to providing comprehensive evaluation, education and support to families to ensure proper care of concussion symptoms and to help prevent further injury.
Concussions can lead to other medical complications, such as posttraumatic headaches, vertigo, confusion, sleep issues and behavior changes. We use advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate neurocognitive changes and provide a customized treatment plan to fit each child’s needs.

ImPACT Testing

This testing is used to implement baseline testing and to assess post-injury neuro-cognitive status.
