Default What a horrible neurologist...

Okay, this happened about a week ago. I went to see a neurologist for the first time. I spent time searching and searching for one that specializes in head trauma and found this guy name Dr. Shanker Dixit. I went to my appointment on the 22nd of this month and it just felt like he was trying to get me in and out of there. He asked me about my symptoms, I told him each individual one. I told him about the "feeling like a mental patient" thing I'm going through and told him how much it was bothering me. You know what he had to say? "You have post-concussion syndrome and your depressed". That's it. He prescribed me some Prozac (which I didn't even fill) and some headache stuff. He didn't try to explain why these things were happening, give me any suggestions or nothing...I take that back, he suggested that I get a job to get my mind off my symptoms. What is wrong with this guy? I asked for an MRI (I haven't had one done since my injury in June, just CT scans) and I told him about my high blood pressure and he COMPLETELY ignored me.

I don't think I'm going to my next appointment with him.

Can anyone suggest to me a website that shows TBI specialists for certain areas? I can't seem to find anything and I don't like this doctor at all.
