In addition to being a leading authority on occupational health care, we are one of the few remaining physician owned and managed practices in the Orange County area. This enables us to provide timeliness and flexibility in all areas of the occupational health care delivery system. We realize it is in the best interest of the patient, employer and carrier that the medical provider quickly diagnose, treat and resolve work related injuries while communicating frequently with all involved parties.

No appointments are necessary. Your injured employees are triaged and treated on a walk in basis. We are sensitive to the employer's desire to maintain costs and keep an employee productive. We monitor and audit the admission and discharge times. Our staff and physicians strive to keep initial injury visits to under one hour and recheck times under 30 minutes. Follow up appointments assess the patient's progress and set a level of expectancy in the patient.

Gateway Medical Group utilizes a combination of proper initial diagnosis, appropriate modified duty programs and scheduled follow up visits coupled with proactive physical therapy to accelerate case closure.

Our physical therapists work closely with our physicians to objectively assess the functional capacities of the patient. These assessments provide the physician with additional knowledge when defining the course of treatment. Physical therapy visits are closely monitored to avoid any over utilization of these services.

Our physicians assess, document and communicate the injured employee's diagnosis, prognosis and duty restrictions to the employer and other appropriate parties. Modified duty is vital to maintain productivity, reduce lost time claims and may expedite the closure of the case.

Gateway Medical Group is recognized as the foremost and leading authority in Orange County occupational health care. Our dedication to our employer groups and their employees is unparalleled in the market place.
