About Your First Visit
Your first visit at Suncoast Spinemed begins with a thorough history and comprehensive examination covering all injuries sustained in your accident — not just the most obvious ones.
Our physicians assess spinal injuries, head injuries and
concussions, nerve involvement, and extremity injuries including knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist.
We order on-site digital X-rays as clinically indicated, and where appropriate, may recommend Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) imaging to evaluate ligamentous integrity in ways that standard imaging cannot. You will leave your first visit with a clear picture of your injuries and a personalized treatment plan designed around your specific recovery needs.

-
At Suncoast Spinemed, you are treated by the same experienced team at every visit. Dr. Berns and our staff know your case, your history, and your goals — because when it comes to your recovery, you deserve to be treated like a person, not a patient number.
How Does Insurance Cover Accidents?
Understanding Your PIP Benefits After an Accident
Florida law requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury
Protection (PIP) insurance, which covers up to $10,000 in
accident-related medical expenses — regardless of who was at fault in the collision.
To remain eligible for these benefits, Florida law requires you to seek a medical evaluation within 14 days of your accident.
Missing that window can affect your ability to access the
coverage you've been paying for.
Our team is experienced in working with PIP insurance and will help guide you through the process from your first visit through your recovery.
