First, call your insurance broker or your insurance company to let them know you have been injured and require treatment for your personal injuries.

Do I have to go see my Family Doctor first?
No. You do not need a referral from your family doctor to have treatment for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. You can go directly to a Chiropractic clinic for treatment. It is important to begin treatment immediately. This will usually shorten the amount of time you need to be treated. Leaving an injury untreated can make it more difficult to treat later and your insurance company may be reluctant to pay for the treatment if you wait too long.

How do I choose a clinic?
Choosing a clinic is like anything else you look for. Ask people you know if they know a good clinic or doctor. It is imperative that you find a Chiropractor who has experience treating these types of motor vehicle induced personal injuries and has licensed staff members to help him.

How do I know if it’s a good clinic?
Call the clinic and ask questions.

1. Does the staff speak your language?
2. Will the Chiropractor perform all the treatment? Will I see the Chiropractor every time I come for treatment? You do not want to be treated by non-licensed assistants.
3. Will someone show me how to exercise and stretch during my treatment? One of the most important things about recovering from an injury and preventing chronic pain is to exercise the involved musculature. You need to become stronger and more flexible if you want to fully recover form your injuries.
4. Will they help me with all the paperwork from the insurance company following the accident? Drs. Pisarek, Gurvey and Brooks and their administrative staff help with all the paperwork involved for no fee or commission.
5. Be careful if anyone tells you that you must go to a certain clinic. It is your decision where to be treated following a motor vehicle accident. Be weary of tow truck operators, paralegals and "accident specialists" who try to force you to go to a specific clinic.

Drs.Pisarek, Gurvey and Brooks will perform all the Chiropractic and rehabilitation treatments, personally seeing their patients on every visit. They do not allow their assistants or non-licensed staff to treat patients. All the staff have extensive experience in treating car accident injuries.

The clinic chiropractors and their administrative staff will also help you with all the paperwork involved when having to be treated for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. They will also help you to apply for any benefits you may be entitled to due to your injuries (housekeeping, childcare, income replacement, attendant care, etc.). The doctors and administrative staff know that this paperwork can be hard to understand and overwhelming, especially when one is suffering from injuries.
