Who this is for: Written for practices in Sanford, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs and Oviedo whose patients depend on concentration at work or school.

Key takeaways

  • Seminole is not a regular route today. Call 813-709-3771 to confirm what can be scheduled.
  • Braintree has no Seminole location. Where scheduled, testing happens at the referring office.
  • Office and technical workers may notice fogginess, screen trouble or slower work before anyone else does.
  • Students should bring glasses and a list of any school accommodations already in place.
  • Some tasks use a screen. Breaks are always available if symptoms flare.

Seminole County and our reach

Sanford, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, Oviedo, Winter Springs, Longwood and Casselberry sit north of Orlando. Braintree is based in Tampa Bay, and Seminole is not part of our regular routes. Call 813-709-3771; we will be realistic about scheduling given the distance.

The first sign is often at the desk: a report that takes twice as long, or a screen that suddenly feels too bright.

Commuter corridors

Heavy interstate traffic in Florida
Even low-speed collisions in traffic can jolt the head and neck.

I-4 runs through the county with heavy traffic toward Orlando, while State Road 417, State Road 434 and US-17/92 carry dense local traffic. Lake Mary's office parks and Sanford's growth add peak-hour congestion. Rear-end crashes in stop-and-go traffic are a familiar reason patients arrive with neck pain.

Professionals worried about work

Many Seminole patients hold jobs that depend on concentration, screens and memory. After a concussion, they may notice fogginess, difficulty focusing on a monitor or slower work well before colleagues do. Our guides on returning to work and on memory and focus help them describe those changes to their provider.

Routes depend on partner locations, so we confirm availability before anyone books a day.

Students

Bright, calm clinic exam room
Braintree testing takes place at the referring provider’s office.

Seminole also has many college students. Concentration problems, light sensitivity and fatigue can show up in coursework first. Any school accommodations are a conversation for the treating provider, and bringing a list of existing accommodations helps the neurologist interpret results.

Reports

Where testing is scheduled, the report is interpreted by a neurologist and then copied to the referring provider, who decides on treatment.

When it's not a testing-day question

Desk symptoms are a testing question. A seizure, new weakness, slurred speech, confusion, vomiting more than once or a headache that steadily worsens is not; call 911 or go to the ER.

Frequently asked questions

Is testing available after work hours?

Testing happens during your office's hours on scheduled testing days. Talk with us about your patients' needs.
