On Thursday, October 30th, Dr. Dariusz Nasiek, MD, hosted another inspiring and successful Networking Dinner Seminar at Osteria Italiana in Garfield, NJ. The evening was filled with engaging discussions, professional networking, and shared insights from leaders in pain management and neurology.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Hudson Regional Health System for generously sponsoring the event — your support made this memorable evening possible.
Hudson Regional Health System is a newly unified healthcare network serving Hudson County through four hospitals: Secaucus University Hospital, Bayonne University Hospital, Hoboken University Hospital, and The Heights University Hospital in Jersey City. Together, these hospitals form an integrated network with a shared mission — to deliver modern, patient-first care powered by innovation and collaboration. Through this connected system, patients gain access to state-of-the-art treatments and nationally recognized specialists, ensuring high-quality care close to home.
The educational highlight of the evening was a presentation on the neurological consequences of trauma, focusing particularly on concussions.
The presentation also reviewed the key symptoms of concussion—physical, cognitive, and emotional—and outlined risk factors for prolonged recovery, including prior concussions, ADHD, and psychiatric history.
The evening also featured Dr. Nasiek’s presentation of his new book,
Brain Impact: Navigating Traumatic Brain Injury After Accidents (Expanded & Updated 2nd Edition) — a concise, multidisciplinary guide to understanding and managing the “invisible” injury. The book explains why TBIs are often missed, what standard CT and MRI scans may miss, and how advanced imaging, such as MRI with DTI and EEG/Video-EEG, can reveal hidden damage.
It also includes practical self-assessments, rehabilitation checklists, mental health care pathways, and updated insights into emerging treatments such as Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) and ketamine infusion therapy. A dedicated legal and insurance section helps patients and professionals organize medical evidence and navigate post-accident care effectively.
This comprehensive guide serves as a valuable resource for accident survivors, families, clinicians, case managers, and injury attorneys alike.
We sincerely thank all attendees for making this event a success and look forward to continuing our mission of education, collaboration, and patient-centered care.
Join us for our next Networking Dinner Seminar on December 11th at Osteria Italiana!
