Avenue Family Practice's goal is to keep you safe and happy at work. Our work-related services include:
- Injury and Illness Prevention Counseling
- Immunization to insure you stay free from disease at work
- Physicals: pre-employment, executive/key man, DOT
- Ergonomic assessments and recommendations
- Work restrictions
- Treating physician for work-related injury or illness:
DO NOT LET YOUR EMPLOYER OR THEIR INSURER SELECT YOUR DOCTOR!
If you are injured at work the best physician to manage your case is someone who is familiar with you, your work and your life outside work: your family doctor.
If you designate Dr. Sommer as your treating physician BEFORE suffering any injury at work you can come directly to him in the event you are injured or made ill by your work.
If you do not pre-designate we can work with you to try to obtain approval to see him.
