Restoring Hope, Lives & Brains...One Patient at a Time

Dr. Thompson is a miracle worker. Literally. He caught things no other medical professional ever caught. I spent more than a decade living with the symptoms of concussions and the myriad of issues they caused. I had normalized suffering for so long I wasn't aware that I was even IN pain anymore...Dr Thompson changed all that.

I’m currently rehabbing my brain with Dr. Hennes, from a car-accident-induced concussion. I am SO impressed with his soft skills, his technical knowledge and his ability to explain WHY my body responds to certain situations the way it does. I’d never had a concussion before and am grateful that he is SO patient and SO kind.

No other doctor helped us in this way. He did a fantastic job sending us home between visits with a home care plan of therapies/exercises and then seeing what was working or not working and adjusting that plan accordingly until we found what was going to work for her. Since seeing Dr. Maesaka our daughter has not complained of headaches or dizziness to any degree of what she used to. It’s very rare now to hear her complain of any. She has also been able to complete her school days on a regular basis.

You don’t find very often a doctor that will listen to you, Sympathize and empathize with you, And not blame your anxiety for your symptoms; Dr.Maesaka is the doctor you need if you feel like you’re not being heard by other doctors for your chronic illness and migraines.

I had been dealing with constant headaches for years and went to a lot of clinics that just told me to take advil to deal with the pain. I finally found Dr. Thompson at The Neural Connection who actually listened to me and believed in my problems. Through physical therapy on my eyes he has helped my quality of life immensely as I barely have any headaches anymore. I couldn't recomended him or the clinic any higher!

Dr. Erik Reis has made a huge impact in my daily life. I was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome years ago and within the last year my symptoms became worse and began affecting my daily life. I went to Dr. Reis and he was patient and understanding and did everything he could do to get to the bottom of my symptoms and to improve my life. It has been a few months since I have seen Dr. Reis and received treatment and my symptoms are still improved. Dr. Reis gave me a second chance at life and I could not recommend him enough!

I have been battling major symptoms and repercussions from a traumatic brain injury since 2012. Working with Dr. M has been the single most effective treatment protocol I’ve tried in 11 years, and I’ve tried absolutely everything available. My migraines have decreased, my vision is better, my sleep is improved….I could go on and on. I’m beyond grateful to have a true partner in my healing, a practitioner that listens and helps put the pieces together.

My daughter has dealt with 6 concussions over the past 10 years causing her daily headaches and weekly migraines plus terrible neck/back pain. After having no luck with several traditional neurologists, we truly thought this was going to be the rest of her life. In fact, just having someone listen to her over the phone for her consultation left her in tears because nobody had validated her like that. He was confident that he would be able to improve her headaches and that's what he did. After just 2 weeks of appointments an hour or two per day, he had her feeling better than she had in years.

My acquired brain injury from meningitis left me with a motor pattern abnormality and severe pain and fatigue. I felt like I was at a dead end with neurologists and had seen every specialist. The technology and techniques through functional neurology changed the course of my recovery. After a 5 week intensive week, my daily pain went from at 7 to a 1, my eye stability was significantly improved, and my at-home exercises helped keep me on track.
