Team neurologist for sports organizations
A retained team neurologist gives your organization on-call brain-injury expertise: concussion protocol design, sideline and remote evaluation, medical-staff education, and oversight of return-to-play clearance.
For pro and college teams, elite youth programs, leagues, and training facilities that need deep neurology expertise without a full-time hire.
