My mission is to educate my patients to the best of my abilities so they can be thoroughly informed about all their treatment options. Initially, my approach is to search for all non-operative treatment options and avoid surgical management whenever possible. I believe strongly in preventative medicine, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Thus, my patients will typically receive extensive counseling, not only on their treatment options, but also on prevention of common diseases affecting health.
Workers Compensation - Occupational Injury - Industrial Medicine Workers’ compensation is a state-mandated and regulated insurance which is designed to provide compensation and cover medical expenses of an employee who was injured on the job. Workers’ comp is organized to benefit the injured worker and set up to pay for medical bills and give monetary awards to offset lost wages. An individual who suffers an injury during employment and was causally related to the nature of the work will be eligible to claim workers’ comp. If you are hurt on the job, your employer is required by law to pay for workers’ comp benefits. Reconstructive Surgery At times the best treatment for you may in fact require an operation.
