Kevin Crutchfield, M.D., the director of the Sports Neurology Program at the Sandra and Malcolm Berman Brain & Spine Institute at LifeBridge Health, is a nationally recognized expert on concussions and a great interview who doesn’t hold back on his opinions.

He is also an independent neurologist for the Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Orioles and Major League Soccer’s DC United team.

Additionally, Dr. Crutchfield has expertise in treating children with concussions, especially those who are hurt playing sports.

A vascular neurologist with expertise in cranial blood flow and transcranial-Doppler sonology, Dr. Crutchfield is board certified in psychiatry and neurology. He completed a residency in neurology at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He was a senior staff fellow in metabolic neurology at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and trained in transcranial-Doppler sonology at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He holds a faculty appointment at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences and remains an active researcher and consultant to the US military regarding the long-term effects of traumatic brain injuries.

Besides all of this, he speaks in plain English, not in medical terms.
