About Concussion

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) caused by a blow, jolt, or bump to the head or body that disrupts normal brain function. A neurologist's evaluation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management. The procedure involves a detailed neurological examination to assess cognitive function, balance, coordination, and reflexes. The neurologist will take a thorough history of the injury and symptoms, which may include headache, confusion, dizziness, or memory problems. This comprehensive assessment helps rule out more serious brain injuries, guides a safe return to activity, and establishes a personalized recovery plan to prevent complications like post-concussion syndrome.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
