USPS - Retail & Letter Carrier Dispatch
USPS Huntington Post Office
55 Gerard St, Huntington, NY 11743
The Huntington Post Office on Gerard Street is the retail and carrier dispatch facility for the 11743 ZIP, serving Huntington village and the surrounding north-shore neighborhoods. Letter carriers based here run routes through hilly residential terrain that adds knee and ankle strain to the usual postal injury vectors of dog bites, slips on ice, and shoulder and back strain from heavy mail loads. Clerks and supervisors inside the building file for lifting and repetitive-strain injuries. A traumatic event files as a CA-1. A condition that developed over time files as a CA-2. Dr. Moalemi treats both, and his staff helps with the paperwork.
USPS - Retail, Carrier Dispatch & Sorting & Delivery Center
USPS Huntington Station Post Office
140 New York Ave, Huntington Station, NY 11746
Just south of Huntington village, the Huntington Station facility on New York Avenue is a larger postal operation that handles retail, carrier dispatch, and sorting and delivery for a wide stretch of the Town of Huntington. Mail handlers, machine operators, letter carriers, and supervisors here are career federal employees covered by FECA. The mix of sorting work and route delivery means a broad range of OWCP claims, from repetitive strain on sorting equipment and lifting injuries on the docks to on-route dog bites and slip-and-falls. If you work this facility and were injured on the job, you have OWCP rights, and Dr. Moalemi is credentialed to treat you.
Huntington's federal workforce extends beyond the post offices. The Northport VA Medical Center sits a short drive east, drawing VA employees who live throughout the Huntington area. The Social Security Administration field office serving north-shore Suffolk operates in nearby Melville on Walt Whitman Road, and its staff are federal employees covered by FECA. TSA officers, CBP and ICE agents, and federal court staff commute from Huntington daily on the Port Jefferson Branch. If you are a federal employee covered by FECA and you were injured at your worksite, your home ZIP does not limit your provider choice. Dr. Moalemi's Woodbury office is the nearest credentialed OWCP option for Huntington-area workers.

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.
