Edward I. Dagher, MD
Dr. Dagher, a physiatrist, specializes in occupational medicine and the medical care of injured workers, non-operative musculoskeletal medicine including muscle, nerve, joint and spine disorders; electrodiagnosis (NCS/EMG), trigger point therapy and intramuscular stimulation, and medical acupuncture for musculoskeletal pain.
Dr. Dagher understands that the early diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries are keys to rapid return to independence in life and work. For injured workers, this in combination with transitional duty, promotes good health and early functional restoration, reduces time lost from work and minimizes disability.
Dr. Dagher believes that by taking time to educate each person about his or her medical condition, the best medical options for rapid recovery and improving quality of life can be chosen.
His qualifications and clinical experience allow Dr. Dagher to provide fair, reasonable and unbiased medical legal evaluations including impairment ratings, estimates of functional capacities, second opinions and consultations, independent and agreed medical evaluations.
