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.
