Accidental &
Work Injuries Center

When you are injured in an accident it can be a life-changing experience.  It is difficult enough to be hurt, but how will you also deal with time away from work, medical expenses, legal and insurance issues?  Our practice is the area expert at helping patients that have been injured to deal with all of these issues.

Our Accidental and Work Injuries Center was created to specifically help patients that have been injured in an accident or at work.  Our Physicians  and Physician Assistants are experts at the medical care of the injured patient.  Our practitioners and staff are also knowledgeable about Workers Compensation, auto insurance and accident liability issues.

Our offices offer the rapid appointment availability that injured patients need.  If you have already been seen at an Emergency Department or Urgent Care facility, we can typically take over your care within 24-48 hours.  If your current physician requests it directly, you may even be able to see one of our Orthopedic Surgeons or Orthopedic Physician Assistants on the same day.

We offer the latest techniques for care of all types of fractures and musculoskeletal injuries.  Advanced and cutting-edge care is a necessity to help you attain the highest level of function after a serious injury.  Our goal is to get you back to work and play as quickly, and as safely, as possible.

Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Todd Zeigler is the co-Director of our Accidental and Work Injuries Center.  He is also the Director of Orthopedic Trauma at Gwinnett Medical Center.  He is the only physician in the State of Georgia that is a member of the Orthopedic Trauma Association (OTA) and the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM). 

We also offer expert care for injuries to the neck, spine, and back.  Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist Dr. Ruben Diaz is the co-Director of our Accidental and Work Injuries Center.  Dr. Diaz is an expert in the care of non-surgical musculoskeletal injuries and in Interventional Pain Management.  He also performs Nerve Conduction Testing.

Our Center is designed to care for you from the time of injury, all the way through your complete and successful recovery.  In addition to our medical services, we also offer MRI scanning at our Hamilton Mill Office. 

We also offer convenient Physical Therapy Services at our Lawrenceville and Hamilton Mill Offices.
