Ask for a second opinion Dr. They should give you a list of 4 from different practices. Good luck.

Your question is not entirely clear. Is this a doctor whom the Workers Compensation insurer sent you to for an evaluation? If so, s/he generally would not treat you. See your primary care physician. Do you know why the doc refuses to treat you? If it is a treating physician which the WC insurer sent you to, and s/he does not want to treat you, find another doctor. Since WC is now a rather specialist and complex body of law, you would do well to consult a lawyer who concentrates in that area, who can advise you best.

Nothing. A patient cannot make any doctor treat them if they don't want to. Why would you want such a doctor to treat you?

You do not say why the doctor will not treat you. Ask the insurance company for a change in treating physicians and if that does not work see some local applicant's WC attorneys to see what they can do to get you treatment.
