I agree that we should limit our comments about doctors as
Helpful ...... include the symptoms they were helpful with Not helpful ..... maybe a specific note that they denied your specific symptom or made negative comments about your complaints, such as listing "Somatoform Disorder" in your medical record. This can be the kiss of death to future treatment. I think the more important comments needed are about those who claim to be concussion specialists. Did anybody see a 'concussion specialist' who helped or was of no help ? There are doctors and therapists who may be excellent with a specific concussion symptom or two but are entirely useless with other symptoms from concussion. We also do not want to create a situation where someone feels they need to travel quite a distance and pay a bunch of money out of pocket just because Dr So-n-So successfully treated Sally Slip-n-Fall for her injury. Some time ago, a NT participant took her daughter from the New England area to Dallas, Texas to see Dr Jonathan Walker for treatment with his qEEG based NeuroFeedback therapy. It was expensive and time consuming but it appeared to help her daughter. In my experience, RateMD and Healthgrades have been poor sources for information about treating specific injuries. I use them to find the CV (Curriculum Vitae) of doctors so I can understand where they trained and what accomplishments they have attained. Finding a doctor who has contributed to a published report about concussion, then reading that report can be a big help.
