At
Naples Valley Chiropractic, we understand that cases involving personal
injuries, work related injuries and automobile accidents can become complicated.
Often medical legal issues develop and objective, non-bias opinions are
sought. Typical questions that arise from this process include: causal
relationship, impairment and disability rating, work capabilities, necessity
of treatment and prognosis for recovery.
In our office we are happy
to provide independent medical evaluations at the request of individuals,
employers, insurances carriers, case workers, attorneys and third party
coordinators. Promptly following the evaluation, a medical report will
be forwarded to the requesting party. Our standard reports consist of
the following: a thorough history detailing the events surrounding the
accident or injury, a description of the present complaint, a past medical
history including an account of relevant prior injuries or co-morbidities,
a summary of current occupational status including an opinion on work
capabilities, an account of any documents reviewed in connection with
the case, a detailed account of all physical examination procedures
conducted along with their outcome, a clinical impression, a statement
of causal relationship, an opinion on apportionment when indicated,
treatment recommendations and a prognosis including impairment rating
and disability status. Should your specific case require evaluation,
comments or opinions beyond those outlined, we would be happy to accommodate
your needs by customizing your report. If your case ends in litigation,
as an experienced expert witness, Dr. Waldeis is available for testimony
with reasonable notice.
