We do a great job of identifying and quickly treating head injuries. The Emergency Room staff is very skilled at initially evaluating the patients, and consulting neurology or neurosurgery as needed. By using an MRI or CAT scan, the neurologist or neurosurgeon on call can then diagnose and treat the patient appropriately.
