OWCP Doctor Amityville NY
No OWCP-credentialed provider operates inside Amityville's 11701 ZIP. Dr. Steven Moalemi, MD, FAAPMR, sees Suffolk County federal workers at our Woodbury office, about 12 miles north on the NY-110 corridor, and bills DOL directly so there is no out-of-pocket cost. From Amityville center, off-peak drive time is roughly 22 minutes. During rush hour the NY-110 / I-495 interchange backs up, so plan accordingly.

Federal Workers in Amityville and the 11701 ZIP
USPS - Retail & Letter Carrier Dispatch
USPS Amityville Post Office
77 Ireland Place, Amityville, NY 11701
The main post office for the 11701 ZIP handles retail counter services and dispatches letter carriers across Amityville's residential blocks. Letter carriers and clerks here are career federal employees covered by FECA. On-route injury vectors are familiar South Shore patterns: dog bites, slip-and-falls on icy driveways and uneven sidewalks, shoulder and knee strain from years of carrying heavy mail loads. A traumatic event files as a CA-1. A condition that developed over time, like carpal tunnel syndrome or rotator cuff tendinitis, files as a CA-2. Dr. Moalemi's staff handles both.
Beyond the post office, Amityville sits on the LIRR Babylon Branch, the busiest commuter line on Long Island. TSA officers heading to JFK or LGA via Jamaica and AirTrain, federal court employees riding into Manhattan, and CBP and ICE personnel working the city all live on this corridor. If you are injured at a federal worksite, your home address does not limit your provider choice, and a Woodbury office visit is a short NY-110 drive that fits around the workday. The NY-110 corridor north of Amityville also contains the FBI Long Island Resident Agency in Melville and Pinelawn National Cemetery, both of which draw federal staff from this town.
Getting Here from Amityville
Our nearest office is the Woodbury Office (Long Island) at 99 Sunnyside Boulevard Extension, Suite 102, Woodbury, NY 11797.
By Car
Off-peak via NY-110 (Broadhollow Rd) north through East Farmingdale, across I-495 at Exit 49, then a short stretch east on Woodbury Road to Sunnyside Boulevard. Plan on roughly 22 minutes off-peak, about 12 miles door to door. During NY-110 rush hour, budget 30 to 45 minutes. Free surface parking is available at Woodbury.
By LIRR
There is no direct LIRR connection from Amityville to Hicksville, the closest mainline station to our office. The Babylon Branch from Amityville runs west to Jamaica, where you would transfer eastbound on the Main Line back to Hicksville, a 55 to 70 minute ride plus the final 3 mile rideshare north. For South Shore patients, driving up NY-110 is faster and the standard route.
Via Manhattan
Our Midtown office at 7 W 45th Street, Floor 9, is a direct ride from Amityville on the Babylon Branch, roughly 50 to 65 minutes to Penn Station or Grand Central Madison via Jamaica. Many South Shore federal employees find it easier to schedule an OWCP visit on a commute day rather than making a separate trip.
Why a Named Physician Matters
OWCP claims succeed or fail on medical documentation. Dr. Moalemi, board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), personally signs your reports and IME paperwork. A named, credentialed specialist in your file carries more weight with the Department of Labor than a generic note from a rotating clinic. See his full credentials and background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an OWCP-credentialed doctor in Amityville, NY?
Not within the 11701 ZIP. The nearest OWCP-credentialed provider is Dr. Moalemi's Woodbury office, about 12 miles north on NY-110 and roughly 22 minutes off-peak from Amityville center. He bills the Department of Labor directly, so you won't pay out of pocket, and no agency referral is required to schedule.
I work at the Amityville post office on Ireland Place. Can I file OWCP for an on-route injury?
Yes. Career USPS letter carriers and clerks at the Amityville Post Office (77 Ireland Place) are federal employees covered by FECA. On-route incidents like dog bites, slips on icy driveways, and shoulder or knee strain from heavy mail loads all qualify. File a CA-1 for a single traumatic event or a CA-2 for a condition that built up over time, then schedule with Dr. Moalemi for treatment and a credentialed medical report.
I commute from Amityville to a federal agency in Manhattan. Does OWCP cover me?
Yes. FECA covers federal civilian employees at their official worksite no matter where they live. An Amityville resident working for DOL, TSA, CBP, ICE, or any federal agency in Manhattan is fully covered for on-the-job injuries. After urgent care in the city you can shift ongoing treatment closer to home. Dr. Moalemi's Woodbury office is roughly 22 minutes north via NY-110.
How do I get to Woodbury from Amityville without a car?
The fastest non-driving option is the LIRR Babylon Branch westbound to Jamaica, transfer to a Main Line train eastbound to Hicksville, then a short rideshare north to the Woodbury office. Total transit time runs 70 to 95 minutes door to door, so most South Shore patients find driving NY-110 north (about 25 to 30 minutes off-peak) more practical.
What if my injury happened years ago and I'm only filing now?
Cumulative-trauma claims like carpal tunnel, rotator cuff tendinitis, or back deterioration develop over years, and OWCP recognizes that pattern. The CA-2 form covers occupational disease and you generally have three years from the date you became aware the condition was work-related to file. Dr. Moalemi's reports document the exposure history and causation in the language OWCP examiners look for. Bring whatever pay stubs, route assignments, or medical records you have to the first visit.
