FAQ
& ANSWERS THAT MATTER TO YOU
Common Questions
Asked by Attorneys and case managers when referring patients for the first time.
01
What are the symptoms of a traumatic brain injury?
TBI symptoms are often invisible on standard scans but very real to the patient: headaches, dizziness or balance problems, trouble concentrating or remembering, light and noise sensitivity, blurred vision, fatigue, sleep changes, irritability, anxiety, or depression. Many patients have several of these at once and have been told their imaging is "normal." If that sounds familiar, an evaluation can tell you what's actually going on.
02
How long after an injury do TBI symptoms appear?
Symptoms can show up right away or develop over the following days and weeks. It's common for patients to feel "off" immediately after an accident, then notice memory, mood, or concentration problems emerge later as they return to work and daily life. Delayed symptoms don't mean the injury isn't real, which is exactly why an objective evaluation matters.
03
How long does the evaluation take?
Most patients are seen within 3–7 business days of referral. The first visit (symptom questionnaire plus objective screening tests) is completed in a single appointment. If findings warrant it, a neurologist performs a Comprehensive Neurological Evaluation, with any advanced testing as clinically indicated. Most patients complete the full process in two to three visits.
04
Do I need a referral to be evaluated?
Yes. A referral from an attorney, physician, or other provider is required to begin the evaluation process. If you believe you may have a TBI, contact us and we can help guide you or your referring provider through the next steps.
05
How reliable are the test results?
Each diagnostic technology in our protocol produces objective, quantified data. VNG records involuntary physiological eye movements, RightEye measures eye tracking to millisecond precision, BrainCheck uses precisely timed computer tasks, QEEG records brain electrical activity, and BalanceTrak uses force-plate sensors. DTI MRI is advanced imaging interpreted by a radiologist, and blood biomarkers are analyzed by accredited laboratory equipment. Together they provide objective measurements, interpreted by a physician. Think you might have a TBI? (partially covered by the page toolbar)
