Exploring future medical needs is one of the most important issues in caring for a TBI patient. Some of the symptoms can be so debilitating for patients that it is imperative that the long term ramifications for healing are completely explored. Our clinical evaluation and treatment are geared to get the patient on a healing pathway that takes into account long term healing patterns. In cases where we are called to provide legal summary for patients we have not treated, our doctors use the expertise in having treated thousands of patients to orchestrate future medical needs. And if a more detailed life care plan is needed, we can help with that as well.

When patients struggle with long term healing issues, trust the experts at TBI Associates to help you get the case documentation you need. (405)400-0771

We encourage TBI patients to be open and honest about the symptoms they are feeling after their accident injury - not only with the medical staff but also with their legal representatives. Traumatic Brain Injuries can be complex, with a variety of effects showing up days, weeks or even months later. It's important that you have the full overview of your health concerns to understand your needs for care - both short term and long term. If you've had a car accident that caused whiplash, a head bump, or even symptoms like persistent headaches or dizziness - it's best to get checked out within 72 hours. Call TBI Associates for a no out of pocket examination.

Why Normal Imaging Doesn’t Rule Out Brain Injury? One of the most common challenges in mild traumatic brain injury cases is this: The CT scan is normal. The MRI is normal. So the assumption becomes… the patient is fine.

But that’s not how brain injury works.
CT and MRI are excellent tools for identifying structural damage—bleeding, swelling, fractures. What they don’t show well is functional or microscopic injury. In many mTBI cases, the damage occurs at a cellular level— shearing forces, metabolic disruption, and impaired neural communication. Those changes don’t always appear on standard imaging. Yet the symptoms are real:
• Cognitive deficits
• Memory and attention issues
• Mood and behavioral changes
• Persistent headaches and fatigue

This is where education becomes critical—especially in front of a jury.
They need to understand: A “normal scan” does not equal a normal brain.
It simply means there is no visible structural damage. Brain injury is a clinical diagnosis, supported by:
• Objective testing
• Neurological evaluation
• Consistent symptom patterns
The absence of findings on imaging is not the absence of injury.
And in personal injury cases, that distinction can make all the difference. Call us today to talk about your TBI case.

n many mild traumatic brain injury cases, the biggest challenge isn’t whether a patient is experiencing symptoms— it’s whether those symptoms can be proven. Headaches, brain fog, memory issues and difficulty concentrating are all common symptoms that TBI patients often share. But in a legal setting, subjective symptoms alone are often not enough. That’s where objective testing becomes critical.

Advanced tools like:
• Eye-tracking technology
• Neurocognitive testing
• EEG (brain wave analysis)
allow us to move beyond what a patient feels… and demonstrate what the brain is actually doing.

These tests can:
• Detect subtle dysfunction not visible on CT or MRI
• Correlate symptoms with measurable deficits
• Strengthen causation tied to the accident
• Provide clear, defensible medical evidence
In personal injury cases, this distinction matters. Subjective symptoms raise the question. Objective data helps answer it and backs it up. And when you can show measurable impairment, you’re not just telling the story—you’re supporting it.

Contact TBI Associates to get your patients evaluated, treated, and documented.

The First 72 Hours After a Crash Can Make or Break a Brain Injury Case

One of the most overlooked factors in traumatic brain injury claims isn’t the severity of the crash— it’s how quickly the patient is evaluated.

In the first 72 hours, the body is actively responding to trauma. Symptoms may still be evolving, but this is exactly when objective baseline findings can be captured. From a medical standpoint, early evaluation allows us to:
• Identify subtle neurological deficits before they’re masked
• Establish clear causation tied directly to the accident
• Document cognitive dysfunction using measurable data
• Begin appropriate care to prevent long-term complications

From a legal standpoint, it does something just as important:
It protects the integrity of the case.

Delays in care are one of the most common arguments used to challenge injury claims—especially in mild TBI cases where imaging may appear normal. When evaluation happens early, the narrative is clear. When it doesn’t, doubt is introduced.

In brain injury cases, timing isn’t just clinical—
it’s strategic. Call us to talk about your personal injury TBI Case.

Most people think you have to hit your head to have a brain injury after a car accident. -- That’s simply not true.

As a physician, one of the most important things I explain to patients is this: your brain can be injured by the sudden force of the crash alone. Even without direct impact, the brain can shift inside the skull, leading to subtle but real injury.
What makes this challenging is that these injuries don’t always show up on standard imaging like CT scans or MRIs. Yet patients may experience:
• Brain fog
• Headaches
• Difficulty concentrating
• Mood changes
• Sleep disruption
If you feel “off” after an accident, trust that feeling. You’re not imagining it—and it deserves to be taken seriously.

Early evaluation is critical. The sooner we identify what’s happening, the better we can guide your recovery and document your condition properly.

If you’ve been in an accident and something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait. Call 405-400-0771 to schedule a comprehensive evaluation and get the answers you need.

Join us to learn more about the advantages of making TBI Associates your first choice for TBI evaluation, treatment, documentation, medicolegal reporting and expert witness. If you are unable to make it in person, please contact us to meet Dr. Sebesto by zoom. Call Alaina at 405/400-0771.

Today, on National Doctors' Day, we recognize two exceptional leaders advancing the standard of care for traumatic brain injury across Oklahoma and beyond—Dr. Sebesto, Neurologist, and Dr. Doran, Neuropsychologist.

Their work represents what modern TBI evaluation and treatment should look like: precise, evidence-based, and deeply patient-centered.

In the complex world of brain injury, where symptoms are often invisible and misunderstood, their combined expertise in neurology and neuropsychology brings clarity to diagnosis, direction to treatment, and credibility to every case they touch.

Beyond clinical care, their impact extends into the medicolegal space—where accuracy matters just as much as advocacy. Through detailed evaluations, comprehensive reporting, and clear communication, they serve as trusted expert witnesses in personal injury cases. Whether providing pretrial depositions or in-court testimony, their ability to translate complex brain function into understandable, defensible findings helps ensure that patients are properly represented and understood.

This level of expertise doesn’t just elevate outcomes—it raises the standard for how traumatic brain injuries are evaluated nationwide.

Today, we celebrate not only their dedication to patient care, but their commitment to advancing the field, educating others, and standing at the intersection of medicine and justice.

Thank you, Dr. Sebesto and Dr. Doran, for the difference you make every day.
