    Traumatic Brain Injury

    What is a TBI or Concussion?

    A traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion occurs when a bump, blow, jolt, rapid or forceful movement to the head or body causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. This movement can disrupt normal brain function, leading to chemical changes and potential damage to brain cells.

    My mom had her wrist broken and was in so much pain, I was very worried. So I took her to the doctor at Neo Medical Group at once. He examined her hand, and told us that the best solution for an injury now is Joint Reconstruction. The price of this treatment is surprisingly low, and they took good care of my mom there. She feels great and is thankful to your professional doctors.

    Wonderful doctor Curtis L. Beauregard. Clearly explains what he can do to improve function and what cannot be done. Easy manner, listens well.

    I was treated like a human and not just shuffled thru like most other places. I appreciate the staff greatly. My respects to Dr. Beauregard.

    For the last 5 years I had been suffering from acute pain in the elbow. My grandson decided to take me to the trusted doctor to check if it is an injury or what exactly. In Neo Medical Group, they told me that due to my age I have a severe condition which needs to be treated with Arthroscopic Debridgement of the Elbow. And this treatment really helped, I never felt better.

    Great Facility!! Amazing staff!! Won’t be disappointed
