Treating and managing work injury patients

Caring for patients who have been injured on the job is one of our areas of expertise.  Lakeshore Bone & Joint orthopedic physicians and professional staff understand that it’s imperative for injured workers to recover fully and return to work as soon as possible. Our multi-disciplinary team approach assures superior medical treatment and case management.

Our doctors enjoy privileges at most area surgery centers and hospitals while patients appreciate the convenience of our eight locations. Doctors, physical therapists, radiology, prescription drugs, and durable medical equipment are all accessible under one roof at our main facility in Chesterton.

We put patient care first and are cognizant of the need to keep employers, insurance carriers, and case managers informed of treatment and progress. To talk to our workers compensation department, please call them direct at 219.921.1445.
