My name is Dr. Gary L. Wagoner and I am a chiropractor. We have been helping people that have been injured at work for many years. Having a work related injury can be a very difficult experience. Especially if your employer tries to downplay your injuries OR if the “Company doctor” says you are not really hurt...but you REALLY are! You have rights!

Call our clinic today for your same day appointment. We can work with your employers' insurance company. There is no up-front cost to you.

An accident at work is known as a “work comp” injury. There are many laws protecting your health in the case of a work injury or a work related injury. Work injury compensation is a very specialized area of the law and a well trained lawyer should be consulted. Workplace injury is covered by your employers' Workers Compensation insurance carrier. Your employer is required by law to have this type of insurance. It is there just for accidents at work.

Going to the 'Company doctor” can sometimes not be the most pleasant experience. In the state of Arizona an injured worker is only required to see the “Company doctor” one time if the employer directs the employee to do so. After that, the employee can seek their own doctor and the employer can not prevent this.

There are many “Company doctors” that only see work injury cases. Over the years there have been many complaints and lawsuits against them for many reasons. “Company doctors” understand where their “bread is buttered” and that butter comes from employers and insurance companies, and occasionally the care that a work injury patient needs is lost and the injured worker suffers needlessly.

Triton Chiropractic and Rehab in Mesa, Az. is NOT a “Company doctor”. We work for YOU, the injured worker. We are not under contract with any employer or any insurance company. This means we are ONLY concerned with your health. When you become a patient at our clinic your only jobs is to get well, and we will help you! Call us today and ask to speak to Dr. Gary L. Wagoner directly.

Recently Dr. Wagoner had face-to-face meetings with work injury doctors in the Phoenix area that work for the insurance companies. As you can imagine, the subject of work related injury is vast. We managed to cover a lot of ground! A work injury is a serious thing, and most types of work injuries can be treated with chiropractic care very effectively. Work injury compensation rules in Arizona are very complicated and a qualified doctor like Dr. Wagoner should be used. Remember, Dr. Wagoner is not “under contract” with any insurance company, this means that he works only for you, the injured worker.

5-14-10 Today Dr. Wagoner has a very long and pointed conversation with a "Company doctor" that worked for a workers compensation insurance company. Many things were discussed and in the end the insurance company backed off and Dr. Wagoner was allowed to continue to treat his patient as necessary. This is where Dr. Wagoner's many years of experience being a patient advocate pays off for a patient that was hurt on the job.

Recently Dr. Wagoner accepted a work injury case from out-of-state. The case was closed by the workers compensation insurance company for over 15 years. Dr. Wagoner convinced the workers compensation insurance company to re-open the case and authorize medical care for the work injury patient. After many telephone calls and letter writing Dr. Wagoner received approval from the workers compensation insurance company. The patient is now being treated and is making wonderful progress!
