The Best Doctors in Workers' Compensation
Recognizing Excellence in Patient Care and WorkComp Expertise
Not all doctors approach workers’ compensation care with the same level of commitment and expertise. The Best Doctors in Workers' Compensation list honors physicians who stand out for their ability to provide high-quality care, support injured employees through recovery, and communicate clearly with adjusters, case managers, employers, and attorneys.
This annual list, published every August, recognizes doctors who consistently demonstrate what it means to provide exceptional workers’ compensation care. Being selected is more than a recognition—it is a designation that reflects a doctor’s reputation, performance, and trust among industry professionals.
To earn this designation, doctors must:
✅ Deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes in treating injured employees
✅ Communicate clearly and professionally with all involved parties
✅ Complete documentation accurately and on time to avoid delays in care
✅ Provide compassionate, patient-focused care, regardless of the payer
About the Selection Process
The Best Doctors in Workers' Compensation list is built on peer recognition. To be considered, a physician must receive at least five nominations from professionals who have worked directly with them—adjusters, nurse case managers, or risk managers—who can speak to the doctor’s quality of care, professionalism, and communication.
Since launching the list in August 2022, OM has conducted extensive outreach, vetting hundreds of nominations and reviewing feedback to ensure that every doctor selected meets the highest standards. This process ensures the list is a reliable and respected tool for identifying the most trusted physicians in the field.
Our goal is for the Best Doctors in Workers’ Compensation designation to serve as the gold standard—a mark of excellence for physicians who are truly making a difference in the lives of injured workers and the professionals who support them.
