Three rooms for every hinge.

Missouri Injury Clinic publishes three rooms, and the Journal reprints them exactly as the clinic does: address, phone, hours, and the one rule all three share, a daily close from 12 to 2 for meetings. Everything below is from moinjuryclinic.com. Hours are worth confirming on the call, because the Journal is a reading desk and the clinic is the one that sets them.

The instruction is the same for every room. Pick the one you can drive to this week, call it, say it was a crash, and ask for an exam. Joseph L. Hollingsworth, DC, runs the clinic; the lanes are auto injuries, TBI and concussion rehab, and sports injuries; and every room runs the same exam described in Entry 06.

The midday close

Every room is closed from 12 to 2 each day. That is the detail readers trip on most, so the Journal says it twice. Call in the morning or after two. If you arrive at 12:30 the door will be locked and nobody will be at fault but the clock.

Picking the room

Distance wins. A crash exam is the first of several visits; a written plan means return trips, and a return trip across the whole metro is a return trip that gets skipped. Pick the room you will actually drive to on a Tuesday afternoon with a stiff neck. For this edition that is Tesson Ferry, but the desk would rather a Florissant reader go to Hazelwood than sit on I-270 for the south room out of loyalty to a website.

O'Fallon runs a different week: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 9am to 6pm, with Wednesday and Friday by appointment. St. Charles County readers should call ahead for those two days rather than assuming.

What to say when you call

1. It was a crash, and the date.
2. Which joints are on your list today. Entry 01 is the inventory.
3. Anything on the head line: headache, fog, screens. The clinic has a dedicated TBI and concussion lane and should hear it.
4. That you would like an exam this week.

If you already have an attorney, bring their contact so records can be sent where they need to go. If you do not, nothing about the visit changes. You do not need to have decided anything about a claim before you get examined.

Three lines the clinic publishes

The Journal reprints the clinic's published patient reviews on the home page, quoted whole and attributed as published on moinjuryclinic.com, and prints no others. It does not collect, write, or rank reviews, and nothing on this site is a ranking of providers.

Advertising disclosure. This page is advertising. This desk is compensated for featuring Missouri Injury Clinic, and it is not the clinic, not a law office, and not a party to anyone's insurance claim. We publish only the lanes, rooms, and hours the clinic publishes on moinjuryclinic.com. We do not write reviews, rank providers, or give medical or legal advice.
