Concussion testing near Gainesville
Concussion testing at your provider's office in Gainesville, Alachua and Newberry
North Central Florida is mostly small towns and farmland between larger hubs like Gainesville and Ocala. Instead of sending an injured patient across North Central Florida to a testing center, Braintree brings objective, physician-reviewed concussion and TBI testing to the practice already treating them.
After a car accident in Gainesville
I-75 is the main route through the region and carries heavy truck and holiday traffic, with US-441 and US-301 connecting the towns in between. If a patient is dealing with those symptoms after a crash on I-75 or anywhere else in the area, their treating provider can arrange a head injury evaluation after an accident. Availability and scheduling are coordinated with the referring provider.

For local providers, attorneys and patients
Concussion testing for practices in Gainesville, Ocala, The Villages and Lake City
If you practice in Ocala, Gainesville or The Villages, your patients include students, horse country residents and retirees driving golf carts and cars on the same roads. I-75 through Marion and Alachua carries heavy freight between Florida and the rest of the country.
Many rural counties here, from Chiefland to Live Oak, have few specialists. A patient in Cross City or Jasper may face a long drive for testing. Braintree comes to the practice instead.
Gainesville attorneys handling student and commuter crash cases can rely on documentation from testing done at the treating provider's office.

What Is Baseline Concussion Testing?
Baseline testing records how the brain performs before an injury so later results can be compared. Here is how it works.
Testing, not treatment
Braintree's testing is diagnostic. It is not treatment and it is not emergency care. Your treating provider in North Central Florida stays in charge of care.
Mobile diagnostic testing is scheduled through the treating provider and is not a substitute for emergency care.
Nearby service areas
After a crash in North Central Florida
FLHSMV recorded 14,802 crashes across Alachua County (4,862), Marion County (6,532), Sumter County (1,686) and Citrus County (1,722) in 2024. Many people walk away from a collision feeling fine, then notice headaches, fogginess or trouble sleeping days later.
Roads where crashes add up
Drivers in North Central Florida share I-75, US-441, US-301, US-27 and SR-200. Heavy traffic concentrates around I-75 between Gainesville and Ocala, which carries heavy truck and holiday traffic, and growth around The Villages. Rear-end and side-impact collisions on these routes can jolt the head and neck even at moderate speeds, which is why a head injury check after any crash is worth considering.
Emergency care comes first
If you have a severe headache, repeated vomiting, confusion, slurred speech or weakness, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Major hospitals serving the area include UF Health Shands Hospital, HCA Florida North Florida Hospital, AdventHealth Ocala and UF Health Spanish Plaines Hospital. Braintree does not replace emergency care. We help people who have been seen, sent home and are still not feeling like themselves.
Local questions
Do I have to travel to an office? No. Braintree is mobile across Florida and brings testing to the treating provider's office in Gainesville, Ocala, The Villages, Lake City, Inverness or Alachua.
What do I receive? Testing is documented in physician-reviewed diagnostic reports that you and your care team can use when planning next steps.
Can my chiropractor or attorney refer me? Yes. Providers and law firms in North Central Florida can refer patients directly, or you can book a call yourself.
