Concussion During Football Play. Need Neurologist?

My 16 year old son last Wed the 18th during football practice he got really hard,, He didn't pass out , didn't vomit... Just was dazzed for a minute.. The trainers said it was a concussion , his family doctor which we saw today says it was not a concussion but a con-q- sion... sorry didn't quite know how to spell it ... But how do you know the difference and I need a neurologist here in dallas to clear him to participate in sports.
