Sometimes your pain and injuries after an auto accident are very obvious and other times they can be very subtle and gradually worsen with time. Even if you have been in an accident and your pain seems mild it is still a good idea to undergo a thorough muscle, joint, and neurological exam as well as x-rays to help identify any subtle underlying injuries that can worsen with time. It is not uncommon for patients to come to us several weeks if not months after the auto accident occurred and say that they had only mild pain after the accident but that their pain and injuries have gradually become more severe.

After your consultation and assessment, Dr. Dover or Dr. Kellerman will discuss with you what they think is the next best step for you. In most cases, pain relieving therapy and treatment are started the same day you come into our clinic for your initial evaluation. On your follow-up visit, the Doctor will go over your exam findings, and any imaging that was performed, and give you a treatment plan recommendation that addresses your specific pain and injuries.

In most cases, patients do not have to pay out-of-pocket for treatment they receive after being in an auto accident. We work on a medical lien basis which allows you the patient to receive the care you need now in a timely manner. A medical lien helps ensure that the at fault party is responsible for covering the cost of your medical bills and that you do not have to wait weeks or months to receive the treatment that you need.

Being in an Auto Accident can be very stressful, scary, intimidating, and confusing. We have the experience and relationships with local attorneys, emergency rooms, and other medical providers to help you navigate this difficult time. In some cases, insurance companies can be great and easy to work with, and in other cases not. We have relationships with a network of local, trusted, professional attorneys that can help you interact with the insurance company and ensure that you are not taken advantage of, compensated fairly for your injuries, and that your medical bills are paid. We are here for you and happy to assist you through this stressful time of being in an auto accident.
