Our Standards
Built around auto-accident injuries
When you see your family physician or an urgent care provider after a car accident, you may receive a general evaluation and a prescription for pain medication. At Accident Care and Treatment Center, you get providers whose entire practice is built around auto-accident injuries — with on-site imaging, physical therapy, and medical-legal documentation, all coordinated under one team.

Who are the doctors at Accident Care?
Our medical team is led by Richard T. Swenson, M.D. (Medical Director, former Assistant Professor of Surgery at OU College of Medicine), Steve L. Schoelen, M.D., and James L. Fleckenstein, M.D. — all licensed medical doctors with decades of combined experience in trauma and auto injury.
Are Accident Care doctors MDs or chiropractors?
All our physicians are licensed medical doctors (MDs), not chiropractors. This allows us to diagnose medical conditions, order imaging, prescribe medication, and perform interventional procedures.
What is the specialty of Accident Care physicians?
Our doctors specialize exclusively in auto accident injury — musculoskeletal injury, soft-tissue trauma, whiplash, disc injury, concussion, and pain management. We do not see routine primary care or non-accident patients.
How experienced are the doctors in auto injury care?
Accident Care has been exclusively dedicated to auto accident injury since 1995. Our physicians have evaluated and treated more than 50,000 auto accident patients over 30+ years.
Will I see the same doctor at every visit?
Not always. Visits rotate among our three physicians. They all work from the same chart and treatment plan, so whoever you see knows your history and where you are in your recovery.
Can the doctors order my MRI here?
Yes. Our physicians order imaging during your visit and we perform it on-site.

Your doctor reviews the findings with you at your next appointment, usually within a week.
Do your doctors work with personal injury attorneys?
Yes. Our physicians produce detailed narrative reports, ICD-10 coded diagnoses, and medical records that meet the standards required by personal injury attorneys and insurance companies.
