What to Expect for Your Concussion Care

How should I prepare for my appointment?

• All medications you are currently taking and the dosage
• List of questions or concerns
• Medical conditions and allergies, as well as surgeries you’ve had
• Your pharmacy name and number
• Please contact the office in advance about providing any related medical records or referral information

• Be early, especially if you’re a first-time patient, as there are usually forms to fill out
• Bring any records that would pertain to your visit including your photo ID, insurance card and co-pay
• Take notes, or ask your companion to do so
• Ask for clarification if you don’t understand something
• Ask if other tests will need to be done
• Be clear about any medicines you may need to take
• You may get a computerized neurocognitive test done called ImPACT©

• Review everything discussed, so you are clear on follow-up instructions
