Top Ten things Dr. Kraemer wants you to know

1. Our Focus is Our Patient’s. Recognizing that back and neck injuries can often be overwhelming, our goal is to work with patients to help them understand their treatment options. Our physicians and health care team take the time to listen to patients, address their concerns and educate them on all of their treatment options.

2. Comprehensive Spine Care. We provide you a single resource for all of your spine needs. We are a Center of Excellence for comprehensive spine care, from the simple to the complex. Our board certified physicians provide a complete continuum of spine care, from diagnosis to a focused nonoperative spine care program as well as complex spine surgery.

3. State-of-the-Art Treatments and Technology. Our physicians utilize the latest technology and most effective treatment options available to patients. They are actively involved in research and committed to the use of proven medical therapies. This includes specialized injections (steroid/epidural or nerve root )  and minimally invasive procedures such as spinal cord stimulators or vertebroplasty. Our spine surgeons are leaders in spine surgery, actively developing and refining the newest techniques for traditional and minimally invasive spine surgery and microsurgery.

4. Partnerships. With over 20 years of WC experience, our goal is to develop beneficial relationships with the insurance company and the employee to meet the needs of all parties. We know the importance of cost containment to the insurance company for their employer.  And, we also know that the employee requires exceptional care.  Knowing this allows for a more successful outcome for an employee to return to work in a timely manner and low costs for the employer.

5. On-site Worker’s Compensation (WC) Staff. The goal of our WC staff is to make sure all of your needs are met. Our staff provides one centralized contact for you and your injured employees. This centralized contact provides streamlined and timely communication, appointment scheduling/confirmation, faxing of updated notes in a timely manner, and any assistance requested.

6. Blocked WC Appointments. Recognizing that timely treatment is critical to true cost containment, we provide blocked scheduling for your patients. Our goal is to provide same day appointments. 

7. On-site Physical Therapy. We provide physical therapy services at our Indianapolis and Carmel offices. This allows patients to see their physician and a physical therapist in one single visit – saving time and money (one trip / less mileage). Our physical therapy services include functional rehab, manual therapy modalities, back bracing, therapeutic exercise and education.

8. On-Site Imaging. Our on-site imaging, provides the patient one single location for their diagnostic and treatment needs. Imaging services include CT scan, MRI and X-rays. No need to delay treatment. We can usually provide these services the same day as the office visit. 

9. Business Center for Nurse Case Managers. Recognizing that time is critical, we have a dedicated work room for nurse case managers. We know that you need a place to plug-in while you are on the road. This center provides the technology needed for you to work while you are waiting for clients; this includes Wi-Fi, printer, scanner and copier.

10. Independent Medical Evaluations (IME). All of our physicians are available to perform an IME. The evaluations are in depth with detailed reports done in a time manner. We retain the records and prepare them for the physicians to review. As soon as the report is available, this is faxed to you with a hardcopy mailed if requested. There is an additional fee for IMEs.
