Your Doctor's Role in Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Each year in the United States, there are 2.8 million workplace injuries or illnesses, which range from sprains and strains to cuts and lacerations. While the priority in these cases is your health, you also need to ensure that you’re covered during your time away from work.

For peace of mind, you need a team of medical providers that understands the ins and outs of workers’ compensation. Not only does the team here at The Woodlands Sports Medicine Centre have extensive experience with workers’ comp, but we also keep your health front and center so that you get the care you need.
