Personalized Concussion Care Center
NEINH Personalized Concussion Care Center is a fully integrated clinical and research center which provides individualized care to children, adolescents and adults who have suffered a concussion. Our team consists of neurologists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, nurses, vestibular physical therapist, massage therapists and dietitians who are experts in the field of concussion assessment and management.
In August, 2015, NEINH began a strategic partnership with the Concussion Center of Fairfield County to provide the highest level of concussion care to patients throughout Connecticut and Westchester County, New York.
Each concussion is unique. At NEINH the evaluation and management is specific to the individual and the injury sustained. We create a treatment plan based on the individual’s age, past medical history, and symptoms at time of visit in order to facilitate a healthy recovery.
Our program has 3 main goals:
- Provide the highest level of medical care to children, adolescents and adults with concussions, to allow for the fastest safest return to school, sports or work.
- Increase research-based knowledge, skills and instrumentation used in evaluation and treatment of concussion
- Improve the general knowledge of our community in regard to early recognition of concussion signs and symptoms and proper management of concussion to prevent long term complications.
To assist us in achieving our goals, we have chosen to refrain from joining insurance companies that limit our time with patients and the services that we can provide. Therefore, we are considered out of network for all insurance companies. We will provide you with an itemized bill that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. If the injury occurred during a school sporting event, you may be eligible to use the school insurance to cover any out of pocket expenses not covered by your insurance. Please check with your school. We will be happy to complete any necessary forms.

We like to see our patients within the first 72 hrs of their injury for an initial evaluation.

Computerized Neuro-cognitive Testing
Evaluates how an individual’s brain is functioning after an injury. It looks at an individual’s working memory, processing speed and reaction time. Testing is performed to assist in managing a concussion and determining when it is safe to return to play.
Baseline Testing
Obtaining baseline information prior to an individual suffering a concussion can assist the clinician in determining the degree of cognitive deficits post injury as well as assisting with determining when it is safe to return the student-athlete to play.
