About
Teena Shetty MD Concussion Program PC is a multidisciplinary concussion and sports neurology clinic dedicated to the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of brain injury and recovery. The program builds upon the model Dr. Shetty developed at the Hospital for Special Surgery and is grounded in a personalized, evidence-based approach, with a strong focus on acute intervention and support for patients healing from concussion. We offer concussion care, neurological evaluation, individualized treatment protocols, and ongoing support for patients.
Concussion can result from a direct or indirect force to the head or body and may occur even without loss of consciousness. Because the clinical presentation can evolve over hours to days, prompt evaluation is important to support recovery and minimize the risk of ongoing symptoms.
Patients should seek evaluation following a suspected head injury, even if symptoms are delayed or initially mild. Evaluation is recommended especially if symptoms persist or interfere with school, work, athletics, or daily activities, including:
Headache or pressure in the head
Dizziness or unsteadiness
Light and sound sensitivity
Difficulty concentrating or mental fatigue
Sleep disruption
Mood changes, irritability, or anxiety
Neck pain or visual discomfort
The clinic utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to concussion care, integrating neurological oversight with targeted rehabilitative treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique symptoms and goals. Dr. Shetty has extensive experience caring for athletes and patients of all ages and activity levels, with expertise in both acute concussion management and persistent post-concussive symptoms.
Depending on the patient’s needs, care plans may include headache and migraine management, vestibular rehabilitation, cervical and physical therapy, acupuncture, infusion therapy, mental health support, sleep optimization, exercise guidance, and structured return-to-learn, return-to-work, or return-to-play recommendations.
Patients receive close clinical follow-up and individualized care focused on achieving a safe, efficient, and complete recovery while helping them confidently return to their normal activities and performance level.

Patient Stories
“After experiencing a concussion while playing ice hockey in an adult league, and then a possible second one a few months later, I contacted Dr. Shetty to ensure I was dealing with my recovery correctly. She and her staff immediately put into action a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that gave me the comfort that I was on a good path. While daunting at first, I followed the program strictly (and admittedly at times reluctantly). This not only led to a full concussion recovery, but also an improved commitment to my overall health. Dr. Shetty's holistic approach was motivating, and it worked. And I continue to implement a lot of what she required. It was worth the effort.”
“Dr. Shetty’s words, “young, motivated, and resilient” became one of my mantra’s as I navigated my active concussion recovery program including neck physical therapy, exertion therapy, vestibular therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychiatry, and acupuncture. My recovery also included a 10-day rest period (no screens, exercise, or reading, and 12-14 hours of sleep per day). After just 4 days for the first time in months, I began to realize there is a path to a life without a 6-month long constant headache.”
“From the moment Dr. Shetty entered the examination room, I knew I was where I needed to be, I felt both safe and supported. Dr. Shetty’s intelligence and calm demeanor along with her treatment plan was the solution that I was searching for. Her concussion protocol was challenging to follow at first but as each day passed it became easier. Her whole body approach combined with her team of specialists was refreshing, impactful and best of all, yielded positive results.”
“Dr Shetty provided a full, holistic approach to recovery which included athletic therapy, vestibular therapy, acupuncture, cognitive behavioral sessions with a concussion - specialist therapist. Dr Shetty truly provided a step by step plan of recovery that included careful monitoring, weekly revised plans to provide to the school which allowed for increased physical and cognitive functioning. We are so grateful for the caring, truly loving, experience that Dr. Shetty and her amazing team provided to Meadow and even myself. It was a six week process of A+ medical supervision and guidance led by brilliant Dr. Shetty.”
