Why your choice of doctor matters
OWCP claims live or die on medical evidence. A doctor who doesn't know how to complete the CA-17 duty status report or write a CA-20 narrative that establishes causation can cost you weeks of wage-loss compensation. Dr. Chris Main, DO has 20+ years of OWCP and orthopedic surgery experience — the paperwork is done right the first time.
