Orthopedic care in Dedham

The Dedham office

Dedham is the practice's main office and the base for independent and impartial medical examinations. Most surgical consultations and post-operative follow-ups happen here, and it is the easiest of the five to reach from Boston without driving into the city.

Consultations, examinations, and follow-up appointments take place here. Where an operation is needed, the practice will tell you exactly where to go and what to expect, and your follow-up care returns to Dedham.

Booking an appointment here

The main office, staffed Monday to Friday. All calls and faxes come here. Dates change, so appointments for every office are booked through the main line. Call (781) 278-9711, Monday to Friday, and the practice will find you the nearest office and the next available clinic.

Getting here and parking

Off Route 128 at Exit 15, in the Allied Drive office park. Free surface parking outside the building, and the office is on one level with step-free access from the lot.

Work injuries in Dedham

Patients seen here are frequently referred from employers and insurers across Norfolk County, and from the construction, warehousing and healthcare employers along the Route 128 corridor.

If you were hurt at work, say so when you call. It changes what we collect from the first visit, and starting the record correctly is considerably easier than correcting it later. Dr. Ackland has treated Massachusetts workers' compensation patients for more than twenty years and is a certified expert examiner for the Department of Industrial Accidents. There is more detail on the workers' compensation page.
