Texas Attorneys Providing Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Defense
As someone who works in the field of Physical Therapy (PT) or Occupational Therapy (OT), you have been given the important privilege of improving the quality of people's lives. You use your expertise to help patients recover from the pain and debilitation of accidents or injuries and work with men, women, and children who are learning to thrive in the face of a disability or disease. With close to 12,000 PTs and around 7000 OTs currently working in the state of Texas, this work requires guidelines and monitoring to make sure that all patients are being served with the highest standards of care.
The Executive Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Examiners is an independent governmental agency that works to support your work but also provides oversight to licensed professionals and the facilities in which they work. When a license complaint is filed with either the PT or OT Board against a practitioner or a licensed facility, a two-person investigation staff will work with the investigation committee of the appropriate board to determine the merit of the accusation. If you learn that a complaint has been filed against you, there should be an experienced PT or OT defense attorney by your side to defend your reputation and professional license as soon as possible.
Bertolino LLP has offices in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio and boards lawyers who have worked with hundreds of clients to resolve issues related to complaints raised within the medical profession. Our ability to serve men and women who live throughout south and central Texas, and particularly our track record of success in appearing before licensing boards in Austin, make us the right choice when you are faced with this challenge.
You often work with patients who have experienced a traumatic event or are struggling to accept changed or diminished physical abilities. Emotions can be strong when a patient's independence and endurance are tested through PT or OT therapy, and you need to be ready for those instances in which your knowledge, administrative efforts, or behavior is brought into question by someone who is not satisfied with his time in your care. Our lawyers are ready to handle these delicate issues with compassion, and also fight to clear you if the Boards bring a complaint against you.
Please contact our offices today to set up a confidential consultation with one of our attorneys in which we will discuss the complaint that has been made against you and work together to develop a plan to defend your professional future.
