Workers Compensation
Since our inception in 1993, Dayton Orthopedic Surgery has successively treated thousands of injured workers. The complexity of the Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation can be daunting. Patients are often times confused and frustrated with burdensome paperwork necessary to receive even the most fundamental treatment. Many injured workers never obtain the appropriate conditions or diagnoses that merit treatment or that fairly represent their injuries. The injured worker oftentimes feels neglected or threatened.
To make things worse, many physicians, including specialists, no longer will see Worker’s Compensation patients because of the significant additional work that is entailed in obtaining approval for simple treatment. Physicians will no longer complete vital and necessary paperwork or write letters to legal representative’s supporting the injured workers need for additional conditions, time off for recovery or the necessary procedures to achieve a good outcome.
AT DAYTON ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY WE BELIEVE THE FOLLOWING:
That all patients with work-related injuries should not be treated any differently than patients injured outside of the industrial arena.
That all injured workers are entitled by state law to see a physician or specialist of their choosing provided they are accredited by the Bureau of Worker’s Compensation.
That to treat injured workers, the appropriate paperwork and requests for treatment as well as conditions including correspondence to legal representative’s must be completed in a timely fashion.
That the injured worker should be entitled to the same state-of-the-art treatment offered to the non-injured worker without exception.
That the injured worker is entitled to access to the same specialty consultants to which the privately insured patient has access.
That the injured worker has a fair and reasonable period of convalescence including active therapy, work conditioning and a functional capacity evaluation prior to returning to work.
That the injured worker has a fair and reasonable period of convalescence including active therapy, work conditioning and a functional capacity evaluation prior to returning to work.

Happy Patients
“Listened & understood my needs before surgery. The surgery went very well, and was just as he explained. Post surgery recovery time was much less than expected. Absolutely no pain, very minimal discomfort, and was back doing my normal routine with only slight modification within 2 months. I am very, very happy with Dr. Paley & his staff.”

“After another Doctor screwed my knee up and told me it was all in my head, I went to Dr. Paley. He has done two surgeries to correct the first one and is by far the best and most caring Doctor I have seen. His whole office staff are wonderful people that are always happy to be there and his Physicians Assistants actually know what they are doing. Great, great, great!”
