WORKMAN'S COMP
Our orthopedic surgeons and certified nurse practitioner have extensive experience in treating the injured worker. An emphasis is made on returning the worker to the workplace as soon as possible. We serve as providers for many local companies and participate with most of the major worker's compensation insurance companies in New Jersey.

We work with the employer by supplying reports and return to work sheets specifying limitaions within 24 hours of the office visit and often much quicker by fax. To provide the best service to the employee and employer, we have a disignated cooridinator, Andrea, to handle communications and provide a consistent contact person.

Our approach is to care for the injured worker aggressively. One of our physicians is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to see patients either in an emergency department or in our office. Workers who are unable to return to work immediately are seen on a weekly basis until they are either returned to work or at maximum medical improvement (MMI).

In today's environment, the impaired worker not only is not productive, but also a workplace liability. We provide drug testing to those companies with testing policies. Dr. Packman is a certified medical review officer (MRO) and reviews testing results.

We know that the worker is the employer's greatest asset and when a worker is out of work, the expense is not only in terms of dollars for medical care, but also productivity.

Let us help your workforce be the most productive.
