Concussion

Laila Harrison

My 15-year-old daughter, Laila, is a dedicated basketball player who suffered a concussion that turned into a prolonged recovery due to older, outdated treatment approaches from previous providers. When we found Dr. Emami, everything changed for the better.

From day one, Dr. Emami was thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my daughter’s well-being. He uses current, evidence-based methods and took the time to explain every step of the process. His approach gave us confidence and, most importantly, gave Laila a clear path toward healing.

We also had the privilege of working with Hannah, the physical therapist on his team. She is meticulous, encouraging, and incredibly skilled. She pushed Laila just enough, monitored her closely, and ensured every milestone was met safely.

Thanks to Dr. Emami and Hannah’s coordinated care, Laila is now back to 100% - on the court, in school, and in everyday life. We couldn’t be more grateful for their expertise, support, and compassion. I would recommend them without hesitation to any family navigating concussion recovery.
