What to Expect

To provide the best care, we dedicate 1-hour to new concussion patients and strongly encourage an in-person appointment to allow for a thorough neurological exam. Telehealth appointments are offered, and common, for most follow-up appointments.

​​

​Our initial concussion assessment includes:

• concussion, neurological and medical history 

• neurological examination

• review of imaging (if available)

• review of medical records (if available) 

• review of the mechanism of injury, including video (if available)​

​​

​Concussion symptoms, often mimick common, everyday ailments. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis must consider the mechanism of injury and the forces likely experienced, on both the brain and the body - with focus on the head and neck. 

Once we have completed our evaluation, patients can expect an educational discussion that will include: what is a concussion, what is causing the symptoms, how we will treat these symptoms, the plan for safe return to sport and/or life and how to optimize brain health.

Is the patient a student-athlete? To ensure a safe and optimal return to play, the Kutcher Clinic routinely coordinates care with school athletic trainers and other medical staff.​
