What others are saying about us

When a catastrophic injury occurs, medical decisions happen fast and the opportunity for errors increases dramatically. That’s why Best Doctors Catastrophic Care Program provides real-time guidance from top experts in trauma, rehabilitation and other specialties, helping reduce errors and ensure that best practices are being followed.

The process begins when you refer a catastrophic injury case to Best Doctors by calling 1-866-237-3286 or by submitting a form. You will speak with one of the Best Doctors Advanced Practice Nurses. The nurse will begin collecting medical information and working with an expert physician team to evaluate the clinical data and treatment plan, identify potential complications, recommend further action and develop strategies to implement the action plan. You witness real-time interaction, helping to make sure the patient’s care stays on track.
