Whiplash & Neck Injuries
Specialized treatment for whiplash and neck injuries caused by rear-end and side-impact collisions, restoring mobility and relieving pain.
If you were hurt in a car accident, a fall, or a workplace incident, the first 72 hours matter more than most people realize. Dr. Denise Mcphatter provides same-week evaluations for accident victims throughout New Castle County — connecting your pain, your diagnosis, and the documentation your case may need.
Most urgent care clinics are built for colds and stitches, not for the kind of injury documentation a personal injury claim requires. Dr. Mcphatter's clinic is different. Every visit is structured around two goals: getting you out of pain and building a clear, defensible medical record from day one.
If your pain did not show up until days after the incident, that is common. Adrenaline masks injury symptoms at the scene. Getting evaluated even when you feel "mostly fine" protects both your health and your claim.
