Your Journey Begins with Understanding
Seeking help after a concussion or traumatic brain injury can feel overwhelming. At the Komer Brain Science Institute, we believe every patient deserves to be heard, understood, and assessed as an individual. Our process is designed to identify factors that may be contributing to your ongoing symptoms and help determine the most appropriate next steps.
Step 1 – Physician Referral
Your journey begins with a referral from your family physician or nurse practitioner. Once we receive your referral, our team reviews the information to determine the most appropriate assessment pathway.
Step 2 – Comprehensive Medical Review
Your assessment begins with an in-depth review of your injury history, current symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, medications, lifestyle factors, recovery progress, and personal goals. Our objective is to understand the whole person—not simply the injury.
Step 3 – Comprehensive Assessment
Depending on your circumstances, your assessment may include consideration of brain function, hormonal health, sleep quality, vision and visual processing, balance and coordination, general medical health, physical function, and mood and emotional well-being. Each assessment is individualized.
Step 4 – Appropriate Investigations
When medically indicated, additional investigations or laboratory testing may help clarify factors contributing to persistent symptoms. Testing is guided by your history, examination findings, and clinical judgment.
Step 5 – Individualized Care Plan
Following your assessment, Dr. Komer will discuss the findings and recommendations with you. Your personalized care plan may include medical treatment, lifestyle recommendations, hormone assessment or management when clinically indicated, nutritional guidance, follow-up care, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
Step 6 – Working Together
Recovery is often most successful when healthcare professionals work together. When appropriate, the Komer Brain Science Institute collaborates with your family physician and other members of your healthcare team.
Hope Through Knowledge
Understanding why symptoms persist is often the first step toward meaningful recovery.Our goal is to identify contributing factors and help patients move forward with greater confidence.
