- Are known as being "claimant-oriented."
- Routinely prescribe periods of time out of work despite the nature of the illness.
- Don't give enough detail about present work capacity to enable employers to place employees in transitional duty positions.
- Often recommend surgery before more conservative treatment.
- Are not excited about working with your company or condescending when speaking with you.
- Are out of the office frequently or fail to respond quickly to your phone calls or emails.
- Cannot or are unable to schedule last-minute appointments with your injured workers.
- Order excessive physical therapy.
- Don't have a good reputation in the community.
- Have a poor bedside manner.
