Horrible experience. Dr Szabo sent me home with a bruise although my arm was useless. Turned out to be a very bad rotator cuff tear. Had surgery on a Friday and had to be back at work on Monday. Couldn't drive my truck since it had a manual transmission so they sent a Yellow Cab. I was always Pro-Company until this. Couldn't tie the shoe laces on my steel toe boots but no loss of time due to injury which was a joke since I was on pain pills and couldn't do anything. One injury in 32 years and treated like a criminal. I feel sorry for anyone injured at work. Not only was it painful but the Company Doctor made it worse. I wonder if she would appreciate the care that I received if it had been her.

Absolutely a COMPANY doctor. Evaluates ALL injuries as not work related or due to negligence on employees part. Refuses to listen to your symptoms/complaints and bases her diagnosis on her interpretation of what happened. You wont miss any work time with her as your doc.
