Brooklyn’s Trusted Orthopedic Team for Work Injuries

At New York Sports & Joints Orthopaedic Specialists, our Brooklyn team provides advanced, specialty-driven care for employees injured on the job. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeons—educated at institutions such as Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, Cornell, and Columbia—bring deep expertise in trauma, sports medicine, hand and wrist, foot and ankle, and joint reconstruction.

Whether an injury stems from construction, transit, healthcare, hospitality, or another physically demanding field, we understand the realities of Brooklyn’s workforce and the complexities of workers’ compensation cases. At our Utica Avenue clinic, patients receive evidence-based treatment, minimally invasive options when appropriate, and coordinated case support that streamlines communication and documentation—so you can focus on healing while we handle the administrative details.

What Is Workers’ Compensation Medical Care?

Workers’ compensation medical care refers to physician-directed treatment for injuries that occur during the course of employment. Your employer’s insurance carrier typically approves this care and includes orthopedic evaluations, imaging, therapy, or surgery. At our Brooklyn office, we guide injured workers through every phase of care, from diagnosis to documentation, always with your functional recovery and return to work as the priority.
