Workers’ Compensation
Seaview Orthopaedics maintains a high standard of care when treating work-related injuries. Seaview Orthopaedics is chosen time after time by case managers/adjusters and injured employees to be their preferred Workers’ Compensation provider.
We understand that work-related injuries can take a toll on both the injured worker and their employer and that a prompt and safe return to work benefits everyone.

- Develops a plan of care to expedite recovery and promote a safe prompt return to work
