An Independent Medical Examination or IME is an objective medical evaluation performed by a qualified physician. Often times IMEs are conducted to assess injuries sustained in some type of work-related incident or accident. Generally an Independent Medical Examination is done by a physician that has never been responsible for the examinee's medical care. This is because IMEs are conducted to provide a thorough and impartial clinical evaluation of a person's medical status.

Dr. Stacie Grossfeld has a number of unique qualifications that make her an excellent choice for those needing an Independent Medical Examination.

Dr. Grossfeld explains, "I focus on diagnosing quickly, getting people fixed and helping them get back into the game, whether it's for work, sports, or just daily living."
