Evaluation of headaches, dizziness, cognitive changes and other neurological symptoms following motor vehicle accidents, falls and workplace injuries. Explore our approach to adult concussion care.
Care After an Accident
After an accident, the first priority is understanding your neurological symptoms and the care you may need. Scheduled consultations address ongoing concerns after emergency needs have been evaluated.
Dr. Mahsa Pahlavanzadeh, MD, Board-Certified Neurologist in Fort Lauderdale, FL, evaluates patients who have experienced neurological symptoms following motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall injuries, workplace accidents, and other traumatic events. The consultation reviews your symptoms, relevant records and examination findings to discuss treatment recommendations and appropriate follow-up. Independent evaluations and professional reports follow the separate process below.
Meet with her in person or through a Florida video consultation when appropriate.

Independent Evaluations and Professional Reports
Before accepting an independent evaluation or professional report, we review the requested question, available records, intended recipient, deadline and proposed scope. We explain the work, expected timing, fee and payment arrangements before work begins.
Conclusions remain independent. An evaluation does not guarantee compensation, a favorable claim, a disability determination or acceptance by a court, insurer or other recipient.
These requests are separate from appointments for ongoing care. Contact our team first; requesting an evaluation does not confirm acceptance.
Scheduling and Payment
Appointments for care after an accident may be available based on clinical appropriateness and scheduling capacity. Before an appointment is confirmed, our administrative team will explain the applicable fee and payment timing.
Referrals are accepted from attorneys, primary care physicians, chiropractors, and other treating providers.
For care after an accident, call our office or submit a request through our contact form. Independent evaluations follow the separate scope-review process above. Please do not include medical details or records in the callback form.
