Ginnie is right on here, re: a teaching hospital, which is what UCSF-SF General is. (Sure sounds good to me!  )
From the webpage:
"The Concussion Clinic at UCSF was created in recognition of the "silent epidemic". Most people who suffer a concussion go unrecognized in the community. According to the CDC, approximately 1.4 million Americans are treated and released from hospital emergency rooms annually."
"Most are told that they have suffered a mild traumatic brain injury or concussion, and are released without education or follow up with a provider well versed in treating post-concussive symptoms. The Concussion Clinic at San Francisco General Hospital provides patients with expert knowledge and treatment of the multitude of post-concussive symptoms that can plague patients for months after their injury. "
o Held the 3rd Thursday of every month
o 4M Clinic, 4th Floor of main hospital building
o Submit an eReferral to the Concussion Clinic for an appointment
o Call 415-206-4094 for more information.
