First the patient will be evaluated by our on site Neurologist (Dr.Strauss) to triage the injury the patient has from their accident. He will be evaluating thinking, motor function (movement), sensory function, eye movement, coordination, and reflexes
Based on the findings is whether the patient has a severe or mild injury. The patient will be referred to certain specialties based on the severity of the injury. IE: Physical Therapy, Imaging tests (if not already been administered) IMPACT testing, Pain Management, Orthopedic Physician, Occupational Therapy and/or Neurosurgeon.
