Experience in the Texas Workers’ Compensation System

As a Designated Doctor within the Texas workers’ compensation system, Dr. Szeryk has extensive experience evaluating injured workers for issues including:

• Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)
• Impairment Ratings (IR)
• Independent medical evaluations
• Clarification of impairment calculations

These evaluations require careful application of the AMA Guides methodology, including range-of-motion measurements, table citations, and use of the Combined Values Chart when multiple impairments are present.

Evaluation Philosophy

Dr. Szeryk’s approach to impairment rating evaluations is based on three principles:

Objective
Each evaluation is performed using documented clinical findings and standardized AMA Guides methodology.

Independent
Impairment rating examinations are conducted as independent medical evaluations and do not assume responsibility for ongoing treatment.

Defensible
Reports are structured to clearly explain impairment calculations and methodology, providing documentation that supports accurate claim resolution.

Professional Approach to Impairment Rating Evaluations

Impairment ratings can significantly impact benefit calculations and claim resolution within the Texas workers’ compensation system. For that reason, each evaluation performed by Dr. Szeryk includes:

• Careful review of relevant medical records
• Focused clinical examination
• Accurate range-of-motion measurements when required
• Proper application of the AMA Guides (4th Edition)
• Clear documentation of tables and methodology used to calculate impairment

The goal of each evaluation is to provide accurate and transparent impairment ratings that support efficient claim progression.
