Patient Concussion Testimonials
"I was walking down my driveway, when I was hit in the head by my daughter's basketball. I felt a headache, dizzy, and loopy immediately. I thought I might have a concussion because I just did not feel right that evening. I made an appointment with Dr. Ron and he verified I did have a concussion, and explained to what extent of injury I had experienced. He helped get through the injury quickly with treatment and rehab, while managing any issues that arose with healing my brain. I am now back to feeling like myself again!"

"I was tapping a balloon back and forth with my toddler, when I slipped and feel on my elbow. Immediately I felt dizzy, foggy, and palms sweating, which lasted all day. My wife said I may have a concussion, but oddly, I did not hit my head. Dr. Ron was able to get me in the next day. He examined me and confirmed I had experienced a concussion, he said it was an "indirect concussion." He helped me with the muscle spasms I developed and rehab. He outlined what I will experience and guided me how to help heal myself. I followed his advice and every day was better! I made a full recovery."

"In my volleyball game, I was digging a ball when it hit me in the shoulder and head. I felt nauseas and foggy immediately. Later that day, I was dizzy with extreme headache. I tried advil, but did not help. I went to school the next day, but the lights and sounds made my headache much worse. I went to my primary care doctor, they just said to take it easy for a few days, then return to normal activity. This did not help. It only got worse til I did not want to get out of bed or talk to anyone. After 2 weeks of terrible pain and missed school, my mom found Dr. Ron online. His office get us in the next day. He helped my headache that day, and gave me an outline of what I will need to do to help heal my head, and provided the rehab to get my balance back. After all the worsening time, Dr. Ron helped progressively heal my brain to full recovery, while testing me in the office. I am now back to all my sports without any issues."

"I suffered a severe concussion at 13 years old. I managed to get through school with allowances and courtesies, graduating high school in 2016. Since I suffered the concussion, I had constant headaches, migraines, balance issues, sleep issues, and ultimately had to quit sports. I have seen a couple dozen orthopedists, neurologists, and specialists. In the end, I was only able to get relief with a IV prescriptive medication 1-2 per week and prescription pills...at 17 years old. This helped me get by and dull the pain so I could minimally function. I became very scared that the rest of my life would be like this. I did not have much hope for any other doctors because I have seen everyone considered 'the authority.'
My mom's friend was seeing this sports doctor, and he gave me a 15 minute free consultation. In the first 5 minutes, I felt he knew how to fix me. Dr. Ron did a lengthy examination-he said he was checking everything from normal brain stuff to my balance to my eyes. It was exhausting. We started treatment immediately, and I felt relief THAT DAY! I was off medication the first month! Now fully healed, I am going to college abroad and enjoying surfing!"
