Independent Medical Examinations (IME)

Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) are used to evaluate a person’s medical condition to determine extent of disability, impairment rating, or whether they are fit to work. The goal is to provide an unbiased assessment from a neutral doctor, which can be helpful for making decisions related to legal matters, insurance claims, or need for medical treatment. The IME process includes a review and summary of all relevant medical records, a detailed medical history, and a comprehensive physical examination. A professionally written report of the findings is then provided to help everyone involved better understand the person’s medical condition and abilities.

Medical Record Review and Consultation

Medical records will be summarized, and any specific questions will be answered as accurately as possible. This service can be especially helpful for patients with complex medical conditions who are seeing multiple doctors and need a clear, easy-to-understand report of their medical history. It can also provide answers to legal questions, help with medical reviews, or offer recommended treatments for complicated conditions.

  • Expert Witness Testimony

  • Personal Consultations

  • Disability Benefit Questionnaires (DBQs)

  • NEXUS Letters for VA Claims
