Workers’ Compensation Injury Doctors on Long Island
Hurt on the job on Long Island? New York workers’ compensation covers your medical care and lost time — regardless of who was at fault. Our board-certified pain, spine, and orthopedic team treats work injuries across Nassau and Suffolk County and documents them thoroughly for your claim.
How New York Workers’ Compensation Works
If you are injured at work in New York, workers’ compensation pays for your related medical treatment and a portion of lost wages, no matter who caused the injury. A few things protect your claim: report the injury to your employer promptly (generally within 30 days), file the employee claim (form C-3) with the Workers’ Compensation Board, and treat with a provider authorized to handle work-injury care — who documents everything correctly. We handle that documentation side for you.
Report it early. Prompt reporting and a clear medical record are what keep a workers’ comp claim on track.
Work Injuries We Treat
We treat the injuries that keep Long Island workers off the job: herniated and bulging discs and neck and whiplash injuries from lifting or falls, shoulder and rotator cuff injuries, knee injuries, repetitive-strain and overuse injuries, and pinched nerves. From warehouse and construction work to healthcare, retail, and office jobs, we tailor care to getting you back safely.
How We Treat Accident and Work Injuries
We start with the least invasive option that can solve the problem and only step up if needed. For many injuries that means physical therapy and targeted medication first, then image-guided injections such as epidural steroid injections or radiofrequency ablation when appropriate, and minimally invasive spine or orthopedic procedures — like knee arthroscopy or rotator cuff repair — only when conservative care is not enough. Common injuries we treat include herniated and bulging discs, neck and whiplash injuries, sprains and strains, joint injuries, and pinched or irritated nerves.
Where We Serve on Long Island
Injured workers are seen quickly at the Long Island office closest to work or home. You can be seen close to home at one of our Long Island offices: Plainview and New Hyde Park in Nassau County, and Ronkonkoma in Suffolk County. Because interventional pain management, spine, and orthopedics are all under one roof, you can move between specialists without a separate referral.
What to Expect
We evaluate your injury, confirm the diagnosis with imaging when needed, and build a treatment plan aimed at a safe return to work. We document the mechanism of injury and your progress at every visit and coordinate the paperwork your workers’ comp carrier relies on. If your work injury also involves a car crash or a negligent third party, ask us about your car accident care options too.
