I suffered a blow to my head over 3 years ago and subsequently struggled with sensitivity to light and multiple sources of sound (i.e., more than one person talking in the environment). I found out about Dr. Emami's approach after years of consulting and working with multiple neurologists, osteopaths, acupuncturists, etc. I had tried multiple medications, had an MRI, and was severely restricting my exposure to bright lights and noise. Nothing was helping me return to my prior level of health. I heard about this approach from an episode of "This American Life" called Swim Towards the Shark. After hesitating to take that advice, I finally reached out and found Dr. Emami. My first consultation was 12/17/2024 and after 6-7 weeks of treatment, I have been back to my pre-injury self! I had a terrific experience with Dr. Emami. He was skillful and personable, answered all my questions. He and his PT, Meghan Hooky, led me through a process of desensitization to noise and light with confidence and humor. This approach has enabled me to return to the level of functioning I had prior to my head injury. It was only after recovering that I could appreciate how inhibited I had been all these years. I unreservedly recommend this approach for anyone struggling with long-term aftereffects from a head injury.
