When a job-related injury occurs, the injured worker has to find a specialist to evaluate and treat their condition for worker's compensation. Patients receiving workers' compensation benefits may undergo evaluation by the employer's doctor or local Omaha physicians. According to Nebraska law, injured workers have the right to choose their evaluating physician. Choosing an orthopedic specialist with experience and integrity is essential when providing workers' compensation evaluation and treatment.
Early diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries are the keys to returning an injured worker to their job as soon as possible. Most workers' compensation claims are orthopedic and require a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan. As an experienced hand and upper extremity specialist, I understand the unique challenges of industrial injuries and injured workers' needs. I believe in working closely with my patients to develop appropriate work restrictions.
