About Braintree Health Partners

Braintree Health Partners provides mobile, physician-reviewed concussion and traumatic brain injury testing for patients referred by their treating providers in Florida. Instead of sending patients to a separate testing center, technicians bring portable equipment to the offices of chiropractors, physical therapists and physicians, based out of Tampa Bay. Braintree diagnoses; the treating provider treats.

No single test proves or rules out a brain injury on its own. Please don't describe our testing that way.

Leadership

Dr. Jon Kimball, MD, is Co-Founder and Clinical Lead. Ben Thayer is Co-Founder and Co-Owner. Approved bios and logos are available on request.

Topics our team can address

  • Why concussion symptoms can appear days after a crash
  • Why a normal CT scan does not always explain lingering symptoms
  • How mobile testing can reduce travel for patients in rural parts of Florida
  • Concussion in older adults, and why emergency care matters for people on blood thinners
  • Teen concussion and the return to school

Spokespeople discuss clinical topics in general terms. They will not discuss individual patients, comment on legal cases or make claims about what testing proves in a legal setting.

Describing our testing accurately

Testing is a set of standardized assessments that helps a treating provider. It is not a single test that detects or proves a brain injury. Please avoid "proves" and "detects". We are glad to review the technical accuracy of a description on request.

If we've published something inaccurate, we'll correct it.
