First, I'm in an HMO, which means I have to go through my PCP first, He referred me to a neurologist who was...useless. I ended up doing a bunch of research to find physicians in my network who specialize in concussions. These doctors can be in a variety of fields (neurology, sports medicine, family medicine), which makes it tough because of the multi-disciplinary element to concussion treatment.
My recommendation: find a concussion clinic, or a team in your insurance network. I'm in the Chicago area, so there were a few options, but I did have to change my HMO network to be able to see the one I want to see. Depending on your insurance, you might be able to search a database to see what doctors have concussion as an interest or treated condition.
Good luck!

Man - I used to run my seven string through a 5150 mk II for my old metal band, loved that thing... since have switched to a classic 30 which suits my needs a bit better lol.
Yeah, that sounds fairly similar to me- I'm on my family's insurance with Kaiser, and I've had musculoskeletal problems in the past where I had to bounce around between different doctors within the insurance, only to get to the point where I just paid out of pocket for a doctor that would actually understand my issues. I guess this might be another one of those things...
Hopefully my GP has other recommendations- my gut feeling is that a neuro optometrist/opthalmologist could get the ball rolling and likely would be able to find something, my eyes definitely feel pretty out of focus a lot of the time and I would definitely want to see if there is a possible benefit in trying to retrain them a bit
