Car Accident Doctor 20 Minutes from University Drive

A car accident doctor for Coral Springs is twenty minutes east, at the far end of Sample Road. Car Accident Doctors Group, the accident-injury practice of Dr. Carol McNamara-Krauss, DC, is at 3320 N Federal Hwy #107 in Lighthouse Point, where Sample Road meets US-1. Coral Springs is the largest city we serve by population, and its drivers cover more miles than anyone else in north Broward.

Coral Springs patients come to us for a reason that has nothing to do with distance: the case file. Families in Eagle Trace, Ramblewood and Cypress Run want a same-day exam from a chiropractic physician with 30 years in practice, treatment that starts the first visit and a record that their attorney can use without chasing. Janelle Deal, our Attorney-Patient Case Coordinator, has 30 years in Florida PIP claims and speaks Spanish. Call (754) 342-6479, answered 24/7.

Coral Springs is a grid of wide arterials, and the crashes happen where they cross: University Drive at Sample Road, University at Atlantic Boulevard, Wiles Road at Coral Ridge Drive, and Royal Palm Boulevard at University. These are six-lane intersections with long left-turn queues, and the collisions are left-turn and side-impact crashes at speed, not parking-lot taps. The Sawgrass Expressway interchanges at Sample Road, Atlantic Boulevard and Coral Ridge Drive add the highway merges. Riverside Drive near the schools is where the afternoon rear-end chains form. Because the speeds are higher here than in the beach cities, we see more seat belt, airbag and joint injuries from Coral Springs than from anywhere else.

Broward Health Coral Springs is the city's hospital and its emergency room, and it is the right first stop for any head injury, loss of consciousness, chest pain, fracture or numbness in the arms or legs. We screen for head injury and concussion and refer them; we do not treat them. For the attorney reader, Coral Springs cases are filed in Broward County at the courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Records from this office begin with a first-visit exam that includes orthopedic and neurological testing and range-of-motion measurements, documented the same day, and continue with a treatment note on every visit, all sent as one PDF on request.

Florida PIP pays 80% of reasonable medical expenses up to $10,000 if initial treatment begins within 14 days of the crash. Without an emergency medical condition (EMC) determination, the benefit is limited to $2,500. An EMC can only be determined by an MD, DO, PA or APRN, not by a chiropractor; this office refers patients out for that determination rather than making it. Coral Springs parents tend to put the kids first and their own neck pain last, and the 14 days pass while they drive carpool. Chiropractic care is covered under section 627.736. This is general information, not legal advice. Dr. Carol McNamara-Krauss is a Florida-licensed chiropractic physician (DC), license CH5281.

From University Drive and Sample Road: go east on Sample Road. It is a straight run of about nine miles past Coral Ridge Drive, Riverside Drive, Lyons Road, the Turnpike, Powerline Road, I-95 and Dixie Highway. When Sample Road ends at Federal Highway, turn south. The 3320 building is on the left within a few blocks, before Copans Road. About twenty minutes.

From Eagle Trace, Heron Bay or the north end near Wiles Road: take Wiles Road east to Powerline Road, south to Sample Road, then east to Federal Highway and south. From the Atlantic Boulevard side of the city, Atlantic east to Federal Highway and then north past Copans Road also works. Suite 107 is on the ground floor with parking in front.
