Concussion

Cassie Reale

I was struggling with my third concussion (2 from hockey, one from a bad run in with a kitchen cupboard) for about 4 months when I first spoke to Dr. Emami. I was unable to work as my symptoms increased with screen time and heavy brain activity. Dr. Emami listened to all my symptoms and gave me a strict plan that was centered around getting me back into a schedule and exposing myself to different things that raised symptoms in order to overcome them. I was able to be back to work within two weeks of meeting him for the first time. He is really kind and you can tell he really cares about his patients. I am forever thankful to him!
