About Us

We are a group of compassionate health care providers who have worked in concussion care for many years. Although the landscape of treatment has changed over the years, the concept of identifying and treating concussions early has long been known to be the best way to avoid long-term complications.

Over the years we have seen too many patients with concussions lasting for years who did not have access to the right information early enough. We have combined our experience with the most up to date scientific research on concussion recovery.

Our Mission

Promoting early detection and treatment of acute and subacute concussion. We believe in promoting cutting edge evidence-based concussion care to prevent your concussion from becoming a long-term problem.

How we do it

We offer a rapid phone consultation to anyone with a concussion. Just have your doctor fill out and send it to our office. You will be connected to our neurologist or neurosurgeon and team within 24 hours of your referral. We would like to connect with you within 48-72 hours from the time of your concussion. We see all concussions, including ones from motor vehicle and workplace accidents.

Why so quickly? Evidence shows that the earlier we start treating your concussion, the better outcomes our patients have. Most people don’t know about concussions or have only seen them on TV. Our team keeps up with the most up-to-date information, since the research on concussion treatment is constantly evolving.

What if it’s been longer than 72 hours since my concussion? Don’t worry, you can still get an appointment with our neurologist. Have your doctor send a referral to Dr. Rathbone’s office directly. If you’re still having symptoms longer than 2-4 weeks after your concussion, you will need further rehabilitation. We have a partner clinic at the Livelong Wellness Clinic which can provide interdisciplinary concussion treatment.
