If you have been in a car crash, it is important to be evaluated for injuries. Seeking evaluation and treatment early gives the best chance to diagnosis the injuries as well as begin treatment before scar tissue can begin to form. Dr. Stadnik has advanced training in the treatment in the diagnosis and treatment of motor vehicle injuries through the Spinal Research Institute of San Diego, (SRISD).
