At times, an
Independent Medical Examination (IME) is necessary to address the
various medical concerns of your client. We provide an unbiased,
expert assessment of your claimant’s diagnosis, status and treatment.
We understand the challenges you face in clarifying these issues
associated with injuries and assist in case closure.
Our evaluations
are truly “independent”. We are not treating physicians. Our
opinions are evidence-based and supported by objective measurements of
function provided by Functional Testing.

your injured individuals |
