The Physicians and professional staff of Detweiler Family Medicine & Associates have a special interest in Occupational Medicine. This division of medicine involves the provision of medical care to employees of businesses and industries.

For many years, Detweiler Family Medicine & Associates have provided treatment of work related injuries, pre-employment physicals, and on-site annual physical examinations for many area businesses. We have been providing Department of Transportation Physical for many companies in the community for over thirty years. Our experienced clinicians are versed on worker compensation concerns and are sensitive to the needs of both the employer and the employee.

In our role as a Occupational Physician we are committed to expediting the employee visit, arriving at a prompt diagnosis of the condition, and devising an efficient treatment regimen. Our focus is getting the employee well, and returning the employee to gainful employment as soon as possible.

We offer urgent, same day evaluation of the injured employee. At the employers digression, we will perform a urine drug screen or hair analysis on presentation to the office. A comprehensive evaluation and report, including employee post-visit instructions and return to work restrictions, is immediately generated, provided to the employee, and faxed to the employer.

A physician site visit to your industrial site provides an understanding of the work environment and the specific safety concerns that may exist. The insight gained through a site visit is valuable when the employee presents with a work-related injury. Armed with the knowledge of the type of work the employee does and the environment in which he performs his duties, we are in a much better position to understand the mechanism of injury. We have found these visits provided benefit for the physician, the patient, and the employer.

Some of our industrial clients prefer to arrange on-site physician physical assessments. Our practice is prepared to provide on-site employee evaluations and will customize a well-employee physical evaluation that takes into account the specific needs of your employees' work environment. We are equipped with the appropriate diagnostic tools to screen and monitor most common industrial hazards including:

• Spirometry
• Audiometry
• Electrocardiography
• Urinalysis
• Blood Studies
• Urine Drug Testing
• Hair analysis Testing

When it comes to your Occupational and Industrial healthcare needs, your company can trust that Detweiler Family Medicine & Associates will deliver prompt, comprehensive, and efficient employee healthcare.
