"Without Dr. Bolton’s urging, I never would have taken Alee back to the ER, and goodness knows where we might’ve been otherwise!"
On behalf of our 11-year-old daughter Alethea, my husband and I would like to gratefully acknowledge Dr. Bolton for his diligence and care! Without Dr. Bolton’s urging, I never would have taken Alee back to the ER, and goodness knows where we might’ve been otherwise! The physicians at SickKids were, like yourself and Dr. Jamieson, very worried about Alethea due to indications of possible carotid dissection, or some other vascular or right-sided TBI issue from the equestrian accident in We hope to get her home soon. late September (affecting her left side and making that side weaker).
The brain MRI did find a lesion that their neurosurgery team will be following-up with. And their neuro-opthamology team will be addressing eye issues, and psychiatry and social work are on board with diagnosis of severe depression compounded with PTSD. They’ve advised a 4-6 week brain rehabilitation program at Holland-Bloorview, complete with physiotherapies and additional speech-language pathologist support.
Dr. Jamieson will be overseeing things in tandem with the SickKids and Holland-Bloorview teams. As there is more going on than just a concussion, we may not be back to see you just yet. However, I will be referring EVERYONE I know to see you!
My husband, who is a sub-specialist, fully admits that he had an unfounded prejudice about chiropractors! But he extends an apology and a hand of friendship to you, for catching something that not only went under the radar of other physicians, but including Eliot himself, who has been watching his precious Alee so closely since the accident.
Dr. Jamieson was so very wise to have referred Alee to you. And we owe you, and Dr. Jamieson, a debt of gratitude that cannot ever be truly captured with mere words.
Wishing blessings to you and your family and your team at the Peterborough Concussion Clinic,
- Kyla Gutsche and Alethea

"After having several concussions,
I didn’t realize just how much proper
post-concussion care was missing
from my previous experiences until I came to this clinic."
I truly wish I had known about this kind of care sooner, because it has made such a difference. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who has suffered a concussion, especially if you’ve had more than one and are feeling overwhelmed or unsure about your recovery.
Dr. Bolton is incredibly thorough, patient, and compassionate. He took the time to explain everything in a way that finally made sense to me — from what a concussion actually does to your brain, to how all the different systems are affected, and why targeted post-concussion treatment is so important. He explained every test, why it was done, and what the results meant. For the first time, I felt truly heard and understood, not rushed or dismissed.
At my follow-up appointment, he carefully went over my recovery exercises (my “hopefully my brain gets back to normal” plan) and explained how each one would help my brain heal. After multiple concussions, that reassurance and clarity meant more to me than I can put into words.
The entire staff makes you feel supported every step of the way. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like a person, not just a patient. A special thank you to Katy at the front desk — she is kind, responsive, and genuinely cares. She always gets back to you quickly and makes the whole process feel less stressful.
This clinic is truly something special. Fabulous doctor, fabulous staff, and a level of care I didn’t know was possible. I’m incredibly grateful I found this place. knows where we might’ve been otherwise!

"The world really does still have good and capable ppl in it and these are some of them"
Jeff, Sammy and Katy have been professional and kind as well as very knowledgable about treatment for an old unresolved head and whiplash injury and complications from MS.
I’m thankful for their expertise, kindness, and patience after a long battle with less than compassionate insurance oversight of my case. The world really does still have good and capable ppl in it and these are some of them… :) Thanks guys.

"I have had many concussions. Dr. Bolton is the first person who has explained in detail all the possibilities of what could occur when you get a concussion."

The whiplash neck injury was new information. I am thankful for his dedication towards helping people like me understand and deal with their injuries.
At my follow-up appointment, he carefully went over my recovery exercises (my “hopefully my brain gets back to normal” plan) and explained how each one would help my brain heal. After multiple concussions, that reassurance and clarity meant more to me than I can put into words.
