In order to reach their patients, Dr. Matthew Griffin and Dr. John Griffin are licensed in nearly every state in the country and see patients virtually throughout the United States. Practice founders Dr. Chopra and Dr. Matthew Griffin also created one of the first telehealth concussion programs in the country, bringing quality care to patients everywhere.

“Telehealth has been a game changer in the treatment of concussions,” says Dr. Matthew Griffin. “We are able to see patients from even the most remote areas across the country, yet provide them with quality care. From a doctor’s perspective, it has been immensely gratifying to see the excellent outcomes achieved with patients who might otherwise have suffered in silence without access to care.”
