Services Explained
To be seen, you must first have your condition evaluated by a doctor who writes a prescription requesting a driving or transportation assessment. Driver rehabilitation is a service that can advise you and your physician about your overall driver safety and readiness to drive. Our staff doesn't have the ability to grant or remove your license.
