As a medical doctor practicing for 20+ years, I've had the privilege of working with some great doctors. Dr. Antonucci's breadth and depth of his knowledge in neurology are unmatched. I have referred several friends and patients to Dr. Antonucci, and his results have been nothing short of amazing. We are very fortunate to have a specialist of his caliber here in Central Florida.

Thank you for giving my brain some much-needed TLC—or maybe CPR is more accurate? Seriously, I feel my systems are awake and alert in a way that I can't remember in a long time. Your expertise and years in the field have not made you apathetic or condescending. Instead, you are so warm, approachable, and MOTIVATING! After years of struggling, I feel hope now that had been eclipsed by my concussion. I am BACK, and I am grateful! Thanks again.

We have just come back from a 5-day immersive treatment with Dr. Antonucci in Minneapolis. The words on the door state: “There is hope”. There is more than hope there. There are miracles.
Dr. Antonucci gave my daughter her life back. She was in pain after her fifth concussion – pain in the head and neck. Constant agonizing pain, everyday for 2 years, 2 months and 11 days.

We have just come back from a 5-day immersive treatment with Dr. Antonucci in Minneapolis. The words on the door state: “There is hope”. There is more than hope there. There are miracles.
Dr. Antonucci gave my daughter her life back. She was in pain after her fifth concussion – pain in the head and neck. Constant agonizing pain, everyday for 2 years, 2 months and 11 days. It was hard for her to function. No one could find the root cause of her pain and her many post-concussion symptoms. She was told to live with the pain. No drugs could help the pain. My daughter (13 years old) was unable to attend school for more than 2-3 hours a week. She was dizzy, she could not walk straight, her balance was off and her brain in a fog. Other clinicians stated that she would get better with time because she is a teenager. This did not happen – how could this happen, when no root cause was ever identified. Her symptoms were being treated (unsuccessfully) rather than the root cause.
Dr. Antonucci found the root causes of all her symptoms - and fixed them.
If we had not been to see him, then my daughter would have had to live a very hard life with pain, and a brain which was not functioning properly.
Dr. Antonucci is a brilliant functional neurology practitioner. What he did for my daughter was a miracle. When we got off the plane to see Dr. Antonucci, my daughter was using a walker for balance and stability. After 5 days of treatment, the walker was no longer needed. I went home with a smiling teenager and post-care exercises. There are still many things to do – but she is on the road to recovery.
Daniel (Dr. Antonucci’s practice manager) is a tremendous support for Dr. Antonucci. He answered all our questions patiently and kindly and kept us in the loop for the entire process. He provided guidance and very prompt responses, correspondence and reports which we needed.
Dr. Antonucci is a charismatic leader and practitioner that inspires me to be a better doctor and person. He is optimistic but realistic; always with a smile. He has a unique ability to dissect complex neurological concepts into simple and understandable terms. Although he is an expert in neurology, he has always impressed me with his genuine desire and humility to seek more information with a different perception. He sees the best in others, lifting them to reach their potential.

We came to Dr. A after six months of searching for answers and relief for our 12 year old daughter. She had suffered from chronic headaches for many years but this past October they escalated to a point where they were no longer manageable and she was remaining in a constant pain cycle. This was obviously greatly impacting her quality of life. She loves to sing and dance and was no longer able to enjoy these simple pleasures and hobbies.

We came to Dr. A after six months of searching for answers and relief for our 12 year old daughter. She had suffered from chronic headaches for many years but this past October they escalated to a point where they were no longer manageable and she was remaining in a constant pain cycle. This was obviously greatly impacting her quality of life. She loves to sing and dance and was no longer able to enjoy these simple pleasures and hobbies. She was unable to do school and even basic daily tasks were difficult. Her sleep was affected, her energy level and her outlook. We sought help from many medical professionals and over the course of the 6 months she was hospitalized three times in an effort to bring her relief but each avenue was unsuccessful. Until, Dr. A.
After being connected with Dr. A through a friend we reached out to his team in desperation. From the very first point of contact, they were incredible, and before we knew it, we were on a plane to spend an immersive week with Dr. A. I can't even begin to explain how life-giving this experience was, especially after so many closed doors and such a difficult time advocating for our daughter. Dr. A's patient care was like nothing we had experienced thus far. His attention to detail and his ability to not only communicate clearly but put together so many moving parts were on a totally different level of care. Our daughter quickly began to trust him, and for the first time in 6 months, I watched her dare to hope again. Over the immersive week of treatment, the light in her eyes began to return slowly, and she woke each day looking forward to seeing Dr. A and making more progress. At the beginning of the week, we shared with Dr. A that our desired outcome would be a clear path forward. We gained so much more. Not only did he help provide that for us, but our daughter left her time with Dr. A pain-free for the first time in months, and, since coming home, has only continued to improve. She is smiling, singing, playing with her brother and laughing - she is enjoying being a child again.
To be completely honest, it is still so hard for us to process. After so many months of despair, we have hope, and we can't deny the progress we saw her make with Dr. A. It was more than worth it, and we would do it over again in an instant. As we left Dr. A he hugged her goodbye and said, "don't fear the setbacks, if you fall, I'll catch." As a parent, I don't believe there is a greater pain than watching your child suffer, and yet Dr. A's confident compassion traded our anxieties for peace.
We are convinced there is no one in the world like him and five stars just isn’t enough.
Thank you, Dr. A, for finding the light in her eyes again; we are forever grateful.
I was referred to Dr. Antonucci by one of his colleagues. At the time, I was experiencing vertigo, which got progressively worse over a few months. It got to the point that I couldn't work and could barely walk without feeling like falling. I knew I had to do something, so I visited Dr. Antonucci for a 5-day intensive program. After the 1st day, my symptoms were reduced 70%. After the 4th day, my symptoms were reduced 95% and I was sent home early with exercises to do at home.

Dr. Antonucci gave me my life back!! Seven years later, I still feel great and am proud to serve with his team as a technology consultant.
Dr. Antonucci is a talented clinician that served as a first-assist in his neurology fellowship with me. In the decade following his training, I am proud to share that he has developed an international reputation as an authority as both a clinician and an educator in the field of concussion and brain injury rehabilitation.

Dear Dr. Antonucci,
I have been blessed honored and privileged to have had the opportunity to be your patient along with learning valuable knowledge. You are an incredible person! Humble, compassionate, kind, brilliant but yet so down to earth. You always made me feel comfortable throughout my treatment.
To see your enthusiasm when you talk about developing new ideas and technology to enhance the lives of others is so inspiring!

I have worked with hundreds of NFL players and many doctors over the last 20 years, and I can say that Dr. Antonucci is a one-of-a-kind absolute magician in dealing with concussion recovery.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy with clinical experience and training in both vestibular rehab and brain injury rehab, I have the ability to recognize when a doctor has something unique to offer.
Physical therapy/vestibular rehab benefits so many patients, but Dr. Antonucci has such a greater understanding of how the brain works, that he is able to take tools and exercises that I am very familiar with, evaluate the brain of a patient, hone in on their individual dysfunction, and somehow create...
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy with clinical experience and training in both vestibular rehab and brain injury rehab, I have the ability to recognize when a doctor has something unique to offer.
Physical therapy/vestibular rehab benefits so many patients, but Dr. Antonucci has such a greater understanding of how the brain works, that he is able to take tools and exercises that I am very familiar with, evaluate the brain of a patient, hone in on their individual dysfunction, and somehow create (what looks like) such a simple plan that just gets the job done... extremely well. His knowledge of neurology, as well as their unique and specific applications of treatments, is the biggest difference between his work and physical therapy/vestibular rehabilitation.
When I have a client who is not responding to vestibular rehab, I refer them to Dr. Antonucci and his team. I would also be fully confident to say that a patient who has not responded optimally working with a physical (or another type of) therapist, even one experienced in vestibular rehab, would benefit from the comprehensive evaluation, the abundance of technology, the individualized diagnosis, and the unique specificity of their treatment plan.
I can honestly say that there is no other provider that I would recommend to a client who feels like they have hit a wall and wants to take their health to another level.
I first met Dr. Antonucci in 2009, when we cooperatively managed one of my more challenging pediatric patients with Asperger’s Syndrome, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and severe depression. Dr. Antonucci’s collaborative nature, as well as his progressive and comprehensive approach really intrigued me to learn more about him.

Dr. Antonucci’s collaborative nature, as well as his progressive and comprehensive approach really intrigued me to learn more about him.
On occasion, I would visit Dr. Antonucci’s clinic in South Carolina. One time I recall a local neurologist accompanying his patient for an assessment of his severe tremor. The patient could not hold a glass of water without losing its content raising it to his mouth. After assessing the individual's brain, in 5 minutes of doing some neurological exercises, he was able to decrease the tremor by 75%.
In 2015, I was diagnosed with Increased Intracranial Pressure which required the placement of a brain stent. After the procedure, I developed dizziness and migraine headaches for 6 months after my brain was ‘fixed”. I saw multiple neurologists and vestibular physical therapists that were completely vexed by my presentation; everyone said it sounded like a concussion, but had no clue how to help me. That is when I knew it was time to call Dr. Antonucci. He invited me come to his clinic in Atlanta, at the time. After a thorough assessment which was never done by ANY of my prior clinicians, he quickly created a plan and started treatment. Four days later (working 3 hrs per day under his care), about 80% of my symptoms had subsided.
During my week of treatment, I met a wonderful woman in a wheelchair, that traveled from Canada to see Dr. A. She told me that she had seen 61 specialists over 3 years, throughout the United States and Canada, including neurologists and physical therapists. On her second day of treatment, she walked into the clinic, unassisted for the first time in 3 years. I was speechless.
As a medical physician, I chose to refer challenging patients to Dr. Antonucci because of his incredible understanding of the brain, and impressive outcomes. His unique understanding of the human brain is unsurpassed by any of my peers, including my clinical team. It is entirely different than what I learned in my training or residency as a physician.
I truly believe Dr. Antonucci is unmatched in healthcare. He bridges the gap between traditional neurology, vestibular physical therapy, chiropractic, and holistic medicine when they fail independently. If you are a physician with an unresponsive patient or are a patient searching for one of the best experts in the field of neurology, I highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Antonucci.
I just completed the last chapter of FNMOC Level 1. Let me tell you something… your way of lecturing is so great to understand. It was my first class ever, among all the classes of the Carrick Institute. I’m so glad that my first class was yours. I need some time to digest Level 1 contents, but, I am sure I will jump into Level 2 sooner or later. I cannot wait to take FNMOC Level 2, and your other classes, maybe online or face to face.
Again, thank you very much for dedicating your time and putt...
