How Occupational Medicine Supports Your Workplace
Occupational medicine helps employers maintain a healthy workforce while ensuring employees receive appropriate care when workplace health concerns arise. Prompt evaluation and treatment can help identify injuries early, support recovery, and provide the medical documentation needed throughout the process.
Workplace Health Services We Provide
Our occupational medicine services are designed to support the health and safety of employees while helping employers manage common workplace medical needs. Whether an employee has been injured on the job or requires an employer-requested medical service, our team provides timely evaluation and coordinated care.
Our workplace health services include:
Evaluation and treatment of workers' compensation injuries
Employer-required medical evaluations
TB testing for employment requirements
Basic workplace health screenings when appropriate
On-site EKGs when clinically indicated
Laboratory testing when appropriate
Referral for specialty or emergency care when needed
Every visit is tailored to the employee's condition and the employer's specific requirements.
Our Approach to Occupational Medicine
At Doctors Urgent Care, occupational medicine begins with understanding the employee's injury, illness, or workplace health needs. Every visit starts with a thorough medical evaluation, allowing our providers to determine the most appropriate treatment while considering the employee's job responsibilities and recovery.
When you choose Doctors Urgent Care for occupational medicine services, you can expect:
Physician-led evaluations with experienced providers and physician oversight
Walk-in and same-day availability for prompt care
Prompt treatment for many non-emergency workplace injuries
On-site diagnostic testing when appropriate
Completion of workers' compensation and employer-required documentation
Personalized treatment recommendations based on the employee's condition
Guidance on follow-up care and work activity recommendations when appropriate
Our goal is to help employees receive the care they need while supporting employers with efficient, coordinated workplace health services.
Workers' Compensation Injury Care
Work-related injuries deserve prompt medical attention to support recovery and help employees return to work safely when appropriate. Our providers evaluate workplace injuries, recommend personalized treatment, and complete the documentation needed to support the workers' compensation process.
We commonly evaluate and treat:
Sprains and strains
Lacerations and cut
Minor burn
Back and neck injuries
Repetitive strain injuries
Repetitive strain injuries
Minor fractures requiring further evaluation or imaging
Other non-life-threatening workplace injuries
Depending on the injury, treatment may include wound care, suturing, splinting, medications when appropriate, activity recommendations, follow-up care, or referral to a specialist if additional treatment is needed.
Diagnostic Testing for Workplace Injuries
Some workplace injuries and medical concerns require additional testing to better understand the extent of the condition and guide treatment decisions.
Depending on your symptoms and examination, your provider may recommend:
- Laboratory testing
- Urinalysis when appropriate
- On-site EKG screening when clinically indicated
Testing is recommended only when it provides meaningful information to support your diagnosis and treatment plan.
Employment Physicals
We provide employment physicals for people who need medical evaluations before starting a new job or meeting employer health requirements.
Employment physicals focus on completing employer-required health evaluations and documentation and are separate from workers' compensation visits, which are intended to evaluate and treat work-related injuries.
What to Expect During Your Visit
From your initial evaluation through follow-up recommendations, our team is committed to delivering timely, personalized care and clear communication.
Your provider will review your symptoms, medical history, details of the workplace injury or employer request, and perform a focused physical examination to determine the most appropriate course of care.
If additional testing is needed, it may be performed during your visit or coordinated through our imaging partner. Testing is recommended only when it helps clarify your diagnosis or guide treatment decisions.
Based on your evaluation, your provider will recommend an individualized treatment plan, complete any necessary employer or workers' compensation documentation, and discuss follow-up care or work activity recommendations when appropriate.
Our goal is to help employees recover safely while ensuring employers receive the documentation needed to support workplace health requirements.
When Emergency Care Is Needed
Doctors Urgent Care provides treatment for non-life-threatening workplace injuries and illnesses. However, some injuries require immediate emergency medical attention.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if an employee experiences:
Severe head injuries
Heavy or uncontrolled bleeding
Loss of consciousness
Difficulty breathing
Severe chest pain
Signs of a stroke
Major fractures or traumatic injuries
Since our clinic is located across from two major hospitals in Ocala, patients who require emergency care can be referred promptly when appropriate.
I had a great experience. The front desk lady was very nice. The nurse practitioner was very nice. He took his time and listened to me, very professional, patient, and informative. The care was great. A very nice atmosphere, and also was seen in a timely manner.
Doctors Urgent Care is phenomenal. You can walk in and generally be seen within 20 minutes, if not sooner, and be out of the office within 30-40 minutes easily. The doctors or nurse practitioners are kind, caring, and very thorough. The staff is also very friendly. I’ve been here many times, as it is much easier to walk in or make an appointment when I have any kind of health issue.
