Our Story
From Bossier City to Beyond: The Ark-La-Tex Authority in Work Capacity & Disability Management Since 2010
Founded in 2010, Functional Capacity Experts has established itself as Louisiana's Work Capacity and Disability Authority. Since that time, we've served the Ark-La-Tex region from our Bossier City clinic, providing evidence-based functional capacity evaluations and occupational health services that help professionals make confident, defensible decisions.
What began as a specialized practice focused on functional capacity evaluations has evolved into a comprehensive occupational health center serving eight distinct professional audiences across Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and beyond. Our reputation for excellence has brought clients to us from as far as New Orleans, Dallas, and even Colorado—a testament to the quality and credibility of our work.
OUR Mission
Transforming Uncertainty into Clarty
When professionals face complex questions about work capacity, disability, or occupational health, we provide objective, scientifically-validated answers that hold up under scrutiny. Our evidence-based approach replaces subjective opinions with defensible data, giving attorneys, physicians, case managers, and employers the confidence to make critical decisions
Objectivity Above All
We deliver unbiased, evidence-based assessments regardless of who's paying the bill. Our reputation depends on credibility, and credibility requires independence.
Scientific Rigor
Every evaluation follows validated protocols and best-practice guidelines, ensuring each finding is defensible and grounded in evidence-based methodology rather than subjective opinion.
Professional Partnership
We understand the pressures our clients face—deadlines, scrutiny, high stakes. We respond promptly, communicate clearly, and deliver reports that actually answer their questions.
Continuous Excellence
The field of functional assessment continues to evolve. We stay current with research, technology, and best practices to ensure our clients receive the most advanced, accurate services available.
