24/7 Emergency Room in Irving, TX
A blow to the head needs fast evaluation. Our experienced emergency physicians assess TBI with on-site CT imaging, 24 hours a day. Median door-to-provider time is under 10 minutes. No appointment needed.
A traumatic brain injury is damage to the brain caused by a sudden blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. Severity ranges from mild concussions to life-threatening bleeding and swelling inside the skull. The CDC reports roughly 2.4 million emergency department visits each year involve a TBI, with falls and motor-vehicle crashes the two leading causes.
Symptoms do not always appear right away. Bleeding inside the skull can worsen for hours while a person feels fine. That is why prompt evaluation after any significant head impact matters, even without visible injury.

Lingering mild symptoms days after an injury already evaluated in an ER.
