It’s important to not only receive immediate treatment for any injuries sustained, but also to document the extent of personal injuries, before too much time has passed.
If you have symptoms of neck pain, low back pain, headaches, muscle soreness and dizziness, or if you have broken bones or possible whiplash injury, call our office as soon as possible. We will ensure expedited evaluation of your situation, including in-house x-rays, a treatment plan and prognosis for recovery.

Failure to obtain a timely evaluation or appropriate treatment for injuries sustained in a car accident may negate your ability to receive monetary compensation for any future medical bills, pain and suffering settlements, and compensation for work loss.
NOTE: The State of Florida requires that you be examined by a physician within 14 days of the motor vehicle accident to qualify for PIP (personal injury protection) of your automobile policy. Failure to do so will result in loss of your PIP coverage to pay for your medical claims.

If needed, what your physical therapy plan would consist of
If a referral to another medical specialist is required
If special tests are required (i.e. MRI, CT Scan, etc.)
If you need to take “injury time off” from work (we provide you with documentation for your employer)
We will also help you with the processing of your automobile insurance medical claim.
