Workers Compensation

Our doctors are skilled in providing your employees with the best medical care possible. We are well versed in workers compensation care, and understand the importance of getting your employee back to work as soon as possible and minimizing lost productive days. Over 95% of injured workers seen at our clinic return to work the same day as their initial visit, either on full or limited duty.

We are preferred providers for the State Compensation Insurance Fund, the largest workers compensation carrier in California. We are also preferred providers in a number of other workers compensation programs. Our reputation with their providers gives you peace of mind knowing that your employees are being cared for by physicians who clearly understand the nuances of industrial medicine.

Your employees won't have long wait times at our clinic: 95% of initial visits take less that 90 minutes, and follow-up visits routinely take less that 30 minutes.

Our staff is skilled at case management for difficult and complicated injuries. When that difficult injury comes along, which doesn't improve as expected, or which needs specialty care, our doctors and staff are knowledgeable in referring your employee to specialists who routinely care for workers compensation patients and can offer the best service.

If one of your employees arrives at the clinic with an injury or illness that our physician feels is too serious for the clinic setting, we will send the patient to the hospital for emergency care, and we will not bill for our initial screen evaluation at the urgent care. Sand Canyon Urgent Care is your best resource for workers compensation care.
