OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE

Let’s Get Back to Work

The most common injuries in the workplace are orthopedic-related. They include injuries to the shoulders, arms, elbows, hands, wrists, neck, spine, feet, ankles, knees, legs, or hips, which arise from poor posture, strenuous or repetitive movements, or unforeseen accidents. Direct Orthopedic Care, or DOC, is the preferred provider of Occupational Medicine in the Treasure Valley for employees, employers, and insurers.

Why Do Employers Choose DOC?

 

Faster Recoveries

At DOC, you are treated by an orthopedic specialist right away. When you compare the average treatment times at DOC against St. Luke’s and Saint Alphonsus’, DOC is by far the quickest and most efficient orthopedic care provider.

According to Hospital Stats.org, the average visit time for a non-critical ER patient at St. Luke’s is estimated to be 2 hours and 30 minutes. For Saint Alphonsus, the average visit time for non-critical ER patients is 2 hours and 11 minutes. DOC is just a fraction of that.


More Cost-Effective

With faster recovery comes more cost-effective care. Your employees receive the care they deserve and get back to work sooner, reducing costs and overall loss of time.

Emergency room visits are expensive, and ER physicians are not trained to treat these problems definitively. This results in patients receiving a splint and referral to an orthopedic specialist. With DOC, you can bypass the time associated with an ER visit, instead going directly to the orthopedic specialists who are trained to treat your employees’ conditions.


Higher Quality Care

The orthopedic specialists at DOC are recognized as some of Idaho’s most experienced providers in the care and treatment of work-related orthopedic injuries. Our clinical staff have treated thousands of cases related to on-the-job injuries.

Convenient Locations for Your Employees

 

With four locations throughout the Treasure Valley, DOC serves Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, and other surrounding towns in Idaho, including Kuna, Star, Emmett, Middleton, Horseshoe Bend, Melba, Marsing, Wilder, Homedale, and Parma.
