I kept seeking help and advocating for myself along the way and constantly felt defeated and didn't want to continue to stay "stuck" like this. Thankfully, I still have the drive and continued my research until I came across Dr. Maesaka. I'm beyond thankful that I didn't lose hope and found him. He has been the biggest motivator in helping me through all of this as he truly understands every aspect of what a brain injury can do to a person. We continue to make progress for my complex case, as all brain injuries are so different, and his office loves "complex" cases. These are the most brilliant Doctor's I have spoke with and had the opportunity to work with. They have the utmost in depth understanding of the human brain. I would highly recommend seeking out functional neurology for any issues you have concerning your most precious gift, "your brain."-Kortney B.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Garrett Conn2024-08-07There is one place and one place only in the state of Minnesota if you are in need of any sort of help with concussion(s) or anything concussion related...its "The Neural Connection". Dr. Maesaka and the team are true professionals and truly care about YOU and your situation. There is no judgement or any sort of assumption of what is going on with you, they listen to you and figure out what is not only best for you, but what will actually work. Having any sort of concussion related issue is, and can be very frustrating, demoralizing, debilitating, annoying, and often can leave you thinking that there are no answers. There is an answer...and its Dr Maesaka and "The Neural Connection". Come here to feel better, plain and simple.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Marie Lance2024-07-31It is with great pleasure that I recommend Dr Maesaka and his practice. My teenage daughter was diagnosed with seizure disorder and subsequently ortho static intolerance after suffering a whiplash/concussive injury. She was placed on seizure and heart medications which did not control her symptoms completely. She has endured headaches, brain fog, seizures, rapid heart rates and fatigue for 2 years. After a week of intensive therapy, we have already seen great improvement and have hope that she will return to her active self soon. We traveled from Georgia to see Dr Maesaka and it has been the best experience- he is kind, empathetic and exceptionally knowledgeable.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tyler Kleinhuizen2024-07-31I have worked with Dr Thompson and Dr Hennes at Neural Connection both with my own child (concussion) and as trusted referrals for concussions, visual and vestibular issues that cross my path as a Neuro-Therapy practitioner. They know their stuff! It is great to point people down a path that provides some real direction and hope for people who are typically not given clear answers. If you are on the fence at all, please at least get evaluated with The Neural Connection!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jennifer K2024-07-27Dr. Reis is the most compassionate, invested, knowledgeable doctor I’ve encountered. For almost 2 years I’ve had debilitating long-COVID brain fog with no relief. I've also had Hashimoto's for about 5 years, which contributes to my brain fog. Within a month of seeing Dr. Reis I’ve noticed significant improvements. Before Dr. Reis I was extremely hopeless about my fog and was worried sick it would just be my new quality of life. I can tell he cares very deeply about helping individuals and I am endlessly grateful I found him. He is thorough and attentive and I highly recommend and trust his care. After 2 years I am finally starting to feel like my old self again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Spaulding Decon Minneapolis2024-07-24I am grateful to have Dr. Maesaka as my go to for all things brain related. I’ve experienced concussions before while playing full contact sports, and Dr. Maesaka has provided me with valuable knowledge to live a more fuller life!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Brittany Goulet2024-07-24Dr. Maesaka with The Neural Connection has restored my faith in the idea that just because you feel crazy, doesn't mean you are! Highly recommend for anyone who has experienced a concussion recently or in the past, or anyone in general who wonders why their brain doesn't feel like it's working on all cylinders. Dr. Maesaka is knowledgeable and personable, and he can help you, also, restore your faith in that you aren't just crazy! 5 out of 5 would recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tanner Frechette2024-06-13I 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!
Ashley had struggled with stomach issues for years before finding The Neural Connection. When she found us, she was experiencing a variety of digestive and hormonal issues, with minimal relief from traditional medical care.
Jim found The Neural Connection after a car accident. While most people don’t associate car accidents with concussions, its very common for a seemingly simple jolt to cause concussive damage. After months of searching for relief from dizziness, fatigue and brain fog, he found us and got the care he needed to fully recover from his accident.
Scott suffered from focal dystonia. Eventually, it began to affect his guitar playing, and he needed a solution after it continued to progress. After months of searching, he found The Neural Connection and after a few weeks of rehabilitation, his symptoms greatly reduced and he could continue playing guitar.
Katie found us after falling off a deck and sustaining a concussion. She had previously struggled with migraines, and now the concussions she and her husband sustained were making her migraines more frequent. After a few weeks, she had reduced the number of migraines by 80% and had continued to improve.
Chris had struggled with numerous concussions over the years, and he never thought any of his struggles could be related. After 3 weeks of intensive rehabilitation, many of his long-standing issues were resolved by treating them through the concussion lens.
