Gainesville, Alachua County
Concussion and TBI Testing for Gainesville Practices
Testing at your Alachua County office. We diagnose. You treat.
Gainesville is a university town with a large student population, heavy bicycle and pedestrian traffic, and rural communities all around it. Braintree brings standardized concussion and TBI testing to treating providers across Alachua County.
Local picture
Bikes, scooters, students, and county roads
Few Florida cities have as many people walking, biking, and riding scooters as Gainesville. Archer Road, University Avenue, SW 13th Street, and Newberry Road see frequent bicycle and pedestrian crashes, and student patients may not follow up after an initial urgent care visit. Youth, high school, and recreational sports add more head injuries each season.
Outside the city, Alachua County is largely rural. Patients in Hawthorne, Archer, Micanopy, or Waldo may drive a long way for a specialty appointment, and with a fresh head injury that drive is often the reason follow-up never happens. Testing at the local treating provider's office removes that step.

Gainesville questions
Does Braintree have an office in Gainesville?
No. Braintree is a mobile service. Testing takes place at the treating provider's office in the Gainesville area. Braintree is based in the Tampa area and serves all of Florida.
Is concussion the same as TBI?
A concussion is generally considered a mild traumatic brain injury. This page covers both.
Does testing confirm a brain injury?
Testing provides standardized information that a physician reviews. It does not guarantee any particular finding or diagnosis.
Is this emergency care?
No. Worsening headache, repeated vomiting, confusion, weakness, seizure, or loss of consciousness need 911 or the nearest emergency room.
Does Braintree treat patients?
No. Braintree is diagnostic only. The treating provider stays in charge of care and decides next steps.
Who you work with
Ben Thayer, Co-Founder and Co-Owner, coordinates provider and attorney relationships.
Dr. Jon Kimball, MD, Co-Founder, Clinical Lead, oversees the clinical side of Braintree's physician-reviewed reports.
Testing, not treatment
Braintree's testing is diagnostic. It is not treatment, not emergency care, and not legal advice. Testing does not guarantee a diagnosis or any case outcome. The treating provider stays in charge of care.
Mobile testing is scheduled through the treating provider and is not a substitute for emergency care.
