What Is the Role of Orthopaedic Care in Workers’ Compensation Cases?
The orthopedic surgeons at Gulf Orthopaedics are experts at diagnosing and treating workplace injuries. Orthopedic surgeons have an advanced understanding of the musculoskeletal system, which allows for accurate and complete diagnosis of work-related injuries, along with leading-edge treatments. Our goal is to get patients treated and rehabilitated properly so they can return back to work successfully in a timely fashion.
Listed below are a few of the many services we offer:
- One on One thorough evaluation with an orthopedic specialist
- On-site x-ray at all of our locations
