Warning: Don’t pick this doctor! You have a choice of doctors for any work-related injury or occupational disease. Choose wisely or you’ll regret it! Seriously, do your research, ask your attorney(John Sbarbaro and Cliff Eley are good, BTW) read reviews, etc because it’s super-important. We made a huge mistake picking this doctor because he has an office not far from where we live. My husband wants to get back to work, and Dr. Paz created a huge mess by giving him restrictions even though he passed his FCE(Functional Capacity Evaluation) with flying colors. WTF?! Dr. Paz is unethically prognosticating«You can’t use tools because you might get injured again.». To cover his own butt, or maybe to suck up to the Workers Comp people, he knowingly and deliberately veered off the path of a medical doctor’s job, which is to evaluate medical conditions and sign off, «This guy was tested and he can perform his job duties.». Instead, he’s choosing to venture into legal areas such as future liability, negligence, etc. Or maybe he has a crystal ball in his private office, and moonlights as a gypsy fortune teller. Dr. Paz has absolutely no right to make my husband jump through hoops of unnecessary paperwork at his job by deviating from standard medical practice. I’m hopping mad, because my husband is ready to go back to work and his foreman needs him back. Taxpayer dollars are being wasted because Dr. Paz is trying to play lawyer and fortune-teller.
