Ontario Concussion Specialists
We are gradually creating lists of practitioners by state and province; many of these providers were recommended to us by experts in each field, as well as patients. However, we don’t advocate for any particular practitioner or treatment.
In addition, we recommend using the search tools on our Find Providers page. These search tools are provided by the accrediting organization for each healthcare specialty and will provide you with more options.

York Region Concussion Clinic
Offices in Aurora and Thornhill
team@yorkconcussion.ca
“We have a team of post-concussion syndrome specialists for Toronto and the greater surrounding area. In our program, concussions are managed by an interdisciplinary team: sports medicine, GP, occupational therapy, chiropractic therapy, physiotherapy, audiology, and behavioral optometry. Occasionally, other specialists (i.e., neurology, otolaryngology, orthopedics, internal medicine) with whom we have easy access are consulted. Our rehabilitation team works together to customize your treatment plan so that the rehabilitation and accommodations are cohesive and consistent.
Our York Region medical clinic has 3 locations: York Region rehab assessment centre, an Aurora rehabilitation centre, and a Thornhill rehab location (for vision therapy).
Visits with the sports physician are covered by OHIP; OHIP does not yet cover the services of allied healthcare/rehab workers or computerized neurocognitive testing, both integral parts of concussion assessment and rehabilitation.
