Which concussion specialist do I need?

Concussion care is specialized — the right clinician depends on your symptoms. Answer 5 quick questions and we'll match you to the right type of specialist and show you verified providers near you.

Who needs care?

What kind of doctor should I see for a concussion?

It depends on your dominant symptoms: vestibular physical therapists treat dizziness, neuro-optometrists treat visual symptoms, neurologists and sports medicine physicians manage headaches and return-to-play, neuropsychologists address cognitive symptoms, and multidisciplinary concussion clinics combine all of these. This quiz matches your symptoms to the right specialist type.

Do I need a referral to see a concussion specialist?

Often no — many concussion clinics, physical therapists, and neuro-optometrists accept self-referrals, though some insurance plans require one. Check with the provider and your plan; each listing includes contact details.
