What our patients are saying

“Ellie’s appointment went great. Dr. Kotnour gave us clearer guidance, a more cautious return plan, and interventions tailored to her symptoms. Without this, we would’ve waited weeks to see a specialist and likely pushed her back too fast.”
— Ning, parent of patient
“Your platform was a major driving factor for me – especially the daily reminders and updated goals. It kept me on track every single day.”
— Lucas, student-athlete patient
“Jessie was incredibly reassuring. I finally got clear answers on what type of concussion I had and what to do next. She pinpointed the right exercises for my symptoms, and it made all the difference.”
— Martha, adult patient
"Drew improved way faster than any kid I've seen with a concussion in 16 years of coaching. Every day he received reminders to record his symptoms, review his health data, and complete his rehab exercises. He had clear numbers and a goal to work toward that showed him 'I am improving.' It made us both, as a patient and a parent, feel truly supported."
— Missy, parent of patient & high school coach

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from seeing my primary care doctor or going to the ER?
Most ERs and primary care doctors are generalists. Headquarters connects you with hyper-specialized concussion clinicians backed by top researchers who use today’s active, evidence-based approach, not outdated “rest and wait” advice. Instead of being told to sit in a dark room and hope symptoms pass, you get a structured recovery plan with rehab exercises, symptom monitoring, and ongoing guidance designed to reduce long-term symptoms and help you recover faster.
How quickly can I be seen?
We offer same-day availability in many cases, often within hours, and most patients are evaluated within 24–48 hours at the latest. Early specialist care can make a meaningful difference in recovery with 25% faster recovery time and 2x lower chance of long-term symptoms.
Do you treat both adults and children?
Yes. We work with adults recovering from accidents, falls, or sports injuries, as well as middle school, high school, and club athletes navigating return-to-learn and return-to-play.
Is this just telehealth? Can you really treat a concussion virtually?
Yes. Concussion care can be treated effectively through telehealth, using detailed history, symptom tracking, and validated virtual neuro exams. You get the same specialist-led diagnosis, monitoring, and guided rehab, but without the drive, the waiting room, or having to take extra time off work. It’s expert concussion care made much easier to access, especially when symptoms make travel harder.
Does insurance cover this?
Coverage depends on your state and plan. In some states, care may be covered through the HeadStrong concussion insurance program if your child’s school participates, which can mean $0 out of pocket for families. HeadStrong is available statewide in MI, WI, MN, IA, WY, MT, AZ, and MO, and in parts of CA, IL, ND, and TN.If you’re seeking care directly (not through a participating school or insurer), pricing is simple and transparent: $200 for the initial visit and $100 for follow-ups. We’ll always explain your options clearly before you begin.
What if my symptoms have already lasted more than a few weeks or even months?
You’re not alone. About 3 in 10 concussions can lead to longer-term issues, so persistent symptoms are more common than most people realize. We identify the specific systems still affected, such as vision, vestibular, autonomic, or cervical, and create a targeted active rehab plan to help recovery start moving again.
How long does recovery usually take?
Many people recover within 2–4 weeks with proper care, though timelines vary. Early, structured treatment often shortens recovery compared to passive rest alone.
