Three rooms, one standard.

How to read the three rooms from Kirkwood

The rooms are one clinic with one owner, Joseph L. Hollingsworth, DC, and the same three published lanes in each: auto injuries with diagnosis and a treatment plan, TBI and concussion rehab, and sports injuries. The Journal's view is that the choice between them is a driving question, not a quality question. Choose the room you can reach this week without dreading the trip.

For nearly everyone reading from Kirkwood, Glendale, Des Peres, Webster Groves, Oakland, or Warson Woods, that is Tesson Ferry. It sits in south county off Lindbergh, a road every reader here already knows, about fifteen minutes from the depot outside rush hour. The Journal's getting seen entry covers the routes.

Hazelwood is the answer for a reader whose crash was on I-270 north toward the airport, or whose workday is in north county. O'Fallon is the answer for a reader whose commute crosses the river on I-70 or I-64 and who would rather be seen near home on the St. Charles side. Note that O'Fallon runs a different schedule: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 9 to 6, with Wednesday and Friday by appointment.

The midday closure is real

All three rooms close from 12 to 2 every day. The clinic publishes this plainly and the Journal repeats it because a reader who drives down Lindbergh with a stiff neck and meets a locked door at 12:30 is not going to try again that week. Call in the morning or after 2.

What to say when they answer

"I was in a crash on this date, and I would like an exam this week." If a head is involved, add "and I have been foggy since," so the desk books the concussion lane. If you are calling for someone else, give their name, a number that reaches them, one sentence on what happened, and which room is the shorter drive, then tell the injured person what you told the clinic.

What the Journal will not say about the rooms

It will not rank them, because they are one clinic. It will not quote prices or describe how a visit is billed, because it does not own the clinic and cannot verify the answer. Ask the desk directly and take what they tell you. It will not describe staff beyond the owner, because the clinic does not publish more than that. And it will not tell you which room is "best," because the honest answer is the one you can reach.

As published on moinjuryclinic.com

Three patient reviews appear on the clinic's own homepage. The Journal reproduces them as printed and adds nothing.

The emergency line, first. Chest pain, a sudden severe headache, weakness or numbness on one side, trouble speaking, a loss of bowel or bladder control, or a head injury with vomiting or worsening confusion is an emergency room trip right now, not a call to a clinic.
