Federal Workers in Smithtown and the 11787 ZIP
USPS - Retail & Letter Carrier Dispatch
USPS Smithtown Post Office
25 Route 111, Smithtown, NY 11787
The Smithtown Post Office on Route 111 is the retail and carrier dispatch facility for the 11787 ZIP, running delivery routes across one of the largest townships in central Suffolk. Letter carriers based here cover a wide spread of residential terrain, and the physical demands accumulate: dog bites, slips on icy driveways, and shoulder, knee, and lower-back strain from years of carrying heavy mail across long routes. 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 filing.
VA - Medical Center
Northport VA Medical Center
79 Middleville Rd, Northport, NY 11768
The Northport VA Medical Center, a short drive north of Smithtown, is one of Long Island's largest federal employers. Nurses, physicians, technicians, custodians, food service workers, and administrative staff at this VA hospital are federal employees covered by FECA. Hospital work carries a heavy injury load: lifting and patient-handling injuries to the back and shoulders, slip-and-falls on hard floors, needlestick and exposure incidents, and repetitive strain. Many Smithtown-area residents work at Northport, and an on-the-job injury there routes through OWCP, not New York State workers' comp. Dr. Moalemi is credentialed to treat VA employees and bills the Department of Labor directly.
Beyond the post office and the Northport VA, Smithtown's federal workforce includes commuters and field staff spread across the township. The Social Security Administration field office serving central Suffolk operates in nearby Hauppauge, and its staff are federal employees covered by FECA. TSA officers, CBP and ICE agents, and federal court employees ride the Port Jefferson Branch from Smithtown into the city and out to assignments across Long Island. 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 Smithtown-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.

I'm a USPS letter carrier based at the Smithtown post office on Route 111. Am I covered by OWCP?
Yes. All USPS letter carriers, clerks, and supervisors at the Route 111 facility are federal employees covered under FECA. On-route injuries like dog bites, slips on ice, and shoulder, knee, or back strain from carrying heavy mail across long Suffolk routes all qualify. File a CA-1 for a traumatic injury or a CA-2 for a condition that developed over time, then schedule with Dr. Moalemi.
I work at the Northport VA Medical Center. Does OWCP cover VA hospital employees?

Patient-handling injuries, slip-and-falls, needlestick incidents, and repetitive strain all qualify.
