Both Medical Doctors and Physical therapists are capable of making formal medical opinions on cases that can be accepted by judges and juries alike. Physical therapists are qualified and highly skilled in determining true functional deficiencies and forming an opinion on the effects of these deficiencies. In addition to this, physical therapists are often involved with cases from the very beginning until return to work and are familiar with all stages of injuries. This includes initial consultations (first doctor’s visit, Emergency Room, or urgent care), conservative care, radiological findings, surgical intervention, rehabilitation, and return to work or long-term disability. A skilled Physical therapist can evaluate, analyze, and form an opinion based on all of this material and history. When a Medical doctor’s opinion is needed, or when a Medical doctor’s testimony is needed to support the findings of the physical therapist, these services are provided by the PMLC Group. PMLC is innovating the concept of medical opinions by providing experts who can examine a case from the moment of injury through rehabilitation. Because we have a highly-skilled team of physicians also on staff, we can provide a multi-disciplinary approach to medical opinions. So whether your case is best served by a physical therapist or a physician- or a combination or the two- PMLC can provide.
