Services

What Dr. Szeryk Provides.

Two distinct services within the Texas Workers' Compensation system — each performed with precision, objectivity, and thorough documentation.

01
Impairment Rating Examination

An independent evaluation that determines the percentage of permanent impairment once an injured worker has reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). Required under Texas Workers' Compensation law.

  • Review of medical records and prior reports
  • Focused physical examination of injured area(s)
  • Range-of-motion measurements per AMA Guides
  • Application of AMA Guides 4th Edition methodology
  • Combined Values Chart when multiple impairments exist
  • Completion of DWC-69 Impairment Rating form
  • Clear documentation of methodology and calculations
02
Alternative Impairment Rating Review

An independent review of an existing impairment rating to determine whether it was calculated correctly under the AMA Guides 4th Edition. May be requested when clarification or challenge is needed.

  • Review of relevant medical records and prior reports
  • Evaluation of the impairment rating methodology used
  • Verification of range-of-motion measurements
  • Confirmation of Combined Values Chart application
  • Verification of whole person impairment calculations
  • Clear documentation explaining findings and corrections
  • Defensible report suitable for dispute resolution
Objective

Each evaluation is performed using documented clinical findings and standardized AMA Guides methodology — not assumptions or advocacy.

Independent
