History Of Traumatic Brain Injury. Need New Family Doctor
Yes, please.
I have a 24 year old son with a traumatic brain injury. He sustained the injury 14 years ago. We need a new family doctor. I would like one who has experience with brain injury to manage the medications he's on. The neuropsychiatrist who prescribed his meds has just died.
We live on the Main Line outside of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.
