Rehabilitative Medicine

Rehabilitative medicine physicians (also called physiatrists) are medical doctors who diagnose and treat patients with physical disabilities using non-surgical methods. These doctors may also lead a team of other medical professionals who carry out the treatment plan the physiatrist develops. Pain management is often an important part of their role.

Use the chart below to compare clinics that have physiatrists/physical medicine & rehabilitation physicians on staff. Please note: Only those clinics that submitted information are included in the chart. To look for providers in your plan's network, visit Medica's Find A Doctor.
