Injury Care Designed for What Happens After the ER
Most accident victims leave the emergency room with a discharge summary and no clear path forward. The ER rules out life-threatening emergencies — it doesn't evaluate soft tissue injuries, whiplash, or the neurological effects of impact that often surface in the days following a crash. At Optimus, that's exactly where we begin.
We work exclusively with auto accident and workers' compensation patients. No general wellness. No commercial appointments. Every clinician, every protocol, and every report we produce is built around personal injury care — which means you get faster, more focused treatment and documentation that holds up when it matters most.

Conditions We Treat for Christiana-Area Accident Patients
Whether your accident happened on I-95, Route 7, Route 1, or a local road in Newark, Glasgow, Bear, or Middletown, we treat the full range of injuries that follow a collision:
- Whiplash and cervical strain
- Neck and upper back injury
- Low back injury and lumbar strain
- Soft tissue injuries throughout the spine and extremities
- Concussion and traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Post-concussion syndrome
- Work-related injuries
If you're unsure whether your symptoms are serious enough to be evaluated, they are. Delayed-onset pain is common after accidents, and early documentation strengthens both your recovery and your legal case.
Litigation-Ready Documentation for Christiana-Area Attorneys
Personal injury attorneys in Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania refer to Optimus because our clinical reports are structured for litigation, not just treatment. Every evaluation, diagnosis, and progress note is produced with the legal record in mind — causation clearly documented, functional deficits quantified, and treatment outcomes tied to the mechanism of injury.
We currently maintain 23 active attorney referral partnerships statewide. If you're a personal injury attorney or paralegal handling cases for clients injured in the Christiana area, our For Attorneys page outlines how we work and what your clients can expect from intake through final report.
The Clinical Team Behind Your Care
Dr. Robert Buckley, D.C., DACRB
Dr. Buckley holds a Diplomate in Functional Rehabilitation — one of the most advanced post-doctoral credentials available in chiropractic medicine — and brings more than 35 years of clinical experience focused exclusively on personal injury and traumatic injury care. He is among the most credentialed injury-focused chiropractors practicing in Delaware.
Dr. Anthony Doran, Psy.D.
Dr. Doran is a nationally recognized neuropsychologist available to Optimus patients via telehealth, performing at the 99th percentile of his field. His involvement means neuropsychological testing and TBI evaluation happen within your care team — not through a separate referral that creates documentation gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions — Christiana, DE
Do I need a referral to be seen at the Christiana location?
No referral is required. You can contact Optimus directly to schedule your initial evaluation. Many patients come to us after being discharged from Christiana Hospital or another emergency facility and are ready to begin care right away.How soon after a car accident should I be evaluated?
As soon as possible. Soft tissue injuries and TBI symptoms are often not fully apparent in the first 24 to 48 hours, but early evaluation creates a documented timeline that is critical for both your treatment and any personal injury claim. Delays in seeking care can complicate both.Can Optimus evaluate me for a traumatic brain injury after my accident?
Yes. TBI evaluation and diagnosis is one of our core clinical services. Many accident patients don't recognize TBI symptoms — headaches, cognitive fog, sleep disruption, and mood changes — as injury-related. We offer a free TBI screening as a no-cost starting point for anyone who may have experienced head impact in a collision.Does Optimus work with personal injury attorneys in the Christiana area?
We do. We maintain active referral relationships with personal injury attorneys throughout Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania. Our clinical documentation is structured specifically for litigation, and we communicate directly with legal teams throughout the course of treatment.What if I can't travel to the clinic for every appointment?
We offer remote physical therapy via telehealth for appropriate stages of care, and Dr. Doran's neuropsychological services are available via telehealth as well. We'll work with your situation to keep your treatment on track without unnecessary barriers.
