Q: I fell at work landed on knee. I was sent to a Dr who put me into a immobiler for too long. Therapist says I need surger
The doctor says I need exercise at home.
The doctor never looked at the therapist notes or scans or touched my knee. What are my options
A: Ask your employer for a list of approved doctors for their plan. In most cases, you have the ability to switch between the doctors on this list. If your employer will not allow you to switch between doctors on their approved physicians list, then contact an attorney to discuss further options.
