Here's how we're told to deal with a suspected concussion.
1) Send her out, and tell the coach that she needs to get checked out.
2) She get evaluated by a AHP.
3) If the AHP clears her, she can be returned to the game.
4) We, as officials, don't need any kind of or information from the aforementioned AHP... if the coach lets her back in, we're to assume that she's been cleared by an AHP.
5) If the player shows any concussion symptoms again, GOTO step 1.
HOWEVER
If I know (or can reasonably assume, as in the OP's case) that there's no AHP around to provide clearance, I'm sending her back out basically as soon as she returns to the court, probably before I let the ball become live. "Coach, she's showing symptoms again, she needs to be re-evaluated." Repeat as necessary until the message has gotten across.
With that said, I have no problem with how you handled it.
