Federal Workers in Westbury and the 11590 ZIP
USPS - Retail & Letter Carrier Dispatch
USPS Westbury Post Office
360 Maple Ave, Westbury, NY 11590
The Westbury Post Office on Maple Avenue dispatches letter carriers across the village and surrounding Nassau County neighborhoods. Carriers running these routes are career federal employees covered by FECA, and the injuries that bring them in are familiar: dog bites, falls on icy driveways and steps, and shoulder, knee, or lower-back strain from years of carrying heavy mail. Clerks and supervisors inside the building file for lifting injuries and repetitive strain. A traumatic event files as a CA-1. A condition that developed over time, like carpal tunnel syndrome or rotator cuff strain, files as a CA-2. Dr. Moalemi treats both, and his staff helps with the filing.
USPS - Processing & Distribution
USPS Mid-Island Processing & Distribution Center
160 Duryea Rd, Melville, NY 11747
Much of the mail handled by Westbury-area postal workers routes through the Mid-Island Processing & Distribution Center in nearby Melville, one of Long Island's primary sorting hubs. Mail handlers, machine operators, custodians, and supervisors at this around-the-clock facility are career federal employees covered by FECA. Processing plants concentrate the physical demands of postal work: wrist tendinitis from sorting machinery, rotator cuff injuries from sustained overhead work, lumbar strain from prolonged lifting, and slip-and-falls on loading docks. If you work this facility and something went wrong on the job, you have OWCP rights, and Dr. Moalemi is credentialed to treat you.
Westbury's Main Line station carries a steady stream of federal commuters. TSA officers bound for JFK and LaGuardia, CBP and ICE agents assigned across Nassau County, SSA and DOL staff, and federal court employees board here daily. The Old Country Road corridor through Westbury is also lined with the kind of commercial and civic activity that draws federal inspectors and field staff. 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. What matters is that your doctor holds OWCP credentials, and Dr. Moalemi's Woodbury office is the nearest credentialed option to Westbury.

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.

On-route injuries like dog bites, slips on icy walkways, and shoulder or knee strain from heavy mail loads all qualify, as do lifting and repetitive-strain injuries inside the building.

I work at the Mid-Island Processing & Distribution Center in Melville. Can I file an OWCP claim?

Common claims from processing plants include repetitive-strain injuries from sorting machinery, back injuries from lifting, and slip-and-falls on dock floors.
