Hurt In A Car Accident? Get Checked Here
We see car accident patients in the office with X-rays on site. MRI scans and CAT Scans can be ordered as needed. You don't need a referral to come in. Some crash injuries, such as whiplash or a concussion, may not hurt right away, so it's worth getting checked.
What To Expect
You're examined for injuries, and if the doctor needs an X-ray, it's taken here during the same visit.
Florida PIP
Florida Personal Injury Protection ("PIP")
To use PIP medical benefits, your first care generally has to be within 14 days of the crash.
Under Florida's no-fault law, you generally must receive initial medical care from a qualifying provider within 14 days after the accident to use your PIP medical benefits. If you have been seen in the Emergency Room for your initial care, it is very important to follow up with us for your continued care as you were advised during your Emergency Room visit. We will obtain your records as needed.
