Workers’ comp care close to home

If you live in New Dorp, Dongan Hills, Grant City or nearby and were hurt at work, you can be treated near home under your claim. Dr. Stephen documents the injury at each visit and, when pain doesn’t respond to therapy, can perform procedures here, such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks or joint injections, if the evaluation supports them.

How the visit works

1. Call or request an appointment online; the office calls back to confirm.
2. For no-fault or workers’ comp cases we check the claim before you come in. Otherwise we check your health insurance.
3. At the first visit the clinician asks what happened, examines you and orders imaging if needed.
4. You agree on a plan together, and the office handles the medical paperwork with the insurer.

On Staten Island, Jake Stephen, DO, does the evaluation and orders imaging if it’s needed. The plan can include physical therapy, lumbar or cervical traction and, when conservative care isn’t enough, pain procedures done at this office, such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, or joint and trigger point injections.
