"I came to see Dr. Simkovich 8 years after being diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome. This horrible condition has affected every aspect of my life — work, play, sleep, driving, social gatherings, etc. I was coping for 8 years only through careful managing of sound (ear plugs), light (so many hats and sunglasses), taking frequent breaks during work (good for anyone, but I had always been able to power through work days), way too much naproxen, and avoiding a lot of things I used to love: listening to music, reading, socializing with family & friends. That's not really living.
Thank you, Dr. S — and all your team. You have a great staff, and I always feel well cared for in Pittsburgh. But most of all, thank you for your tireless efforts to help people like me who had pretty much given up hope of ever having a normal life back. I am so indebted to you."
