MEET
DR. LAGEN
I attended St. Louis University School of Medicine and completed my residency in Family Medicine through the St. John’s Hospital System in Grosse Pointe, MI. After training, I moved to the Vancouver, WA area where I worked as a family practitioner which included having a family practice clinic.
​
In the last 11 years I became involved in occupational medicine and quickly realized that navigating through the bureaucracy of a work comp claim can be complicated, confusing and for many discouraging and frustrating.
To better help injured workers, I opened a medical office focused exclusively on helping workers injured on the job move through the work comp process. By providing practical, sensible evidence-informed medical guidance the mission is to minimize the worker’s time away from work and develop a clear path to successful claim resolution.
