Hynick share a combined 60+ years of experience and have performed tens of thousands of pre-employment assessments, DOT physicals, substance abuse screens, and workers’ compensation evaluations for numerous employers across an 18-county area of Pennsylvania.

Russ focuses on the prevention of workers’ compensation injuries through onsite ergonomic evaluations and pre-employment risk assessments, and providing the most successful resolutions for his patients while balancing the mindfulness of OSHA recordability and upholding the highest regard of medical ethics and the medical standard of care. As a practicing clinician, Russ has extensive experience in pre-employment risk mitigation, drug testing, DOT compliance, fitness for duty evaluations, FMLA evaluations, as well as the prevention, treatment, and management of injuries that arise in the workplace. Russ is currently certified by the FMCSA to perform DOT physicals in compliance with the National Registry of Certified Medical Providers since its inception in 2014.
