Workers’ Compensation
The highly trained and skilled physicians and staff at Florida Orthopaedic Institute are committed to helping all Workers’ Compensation patients get back to their job as quickly and safely as possible.
Our Workers’ Compensation program is dedicated exclusively to evaluating and treating work-related injuries and conditions by providing the highest level of care and expertise in a timely and efficient manner.
Florida Orthopaedic Institute works closely with nurse case managers, claims adjusters, attorneys, and employers to ensure a comprehensive and streamlined process. This includes scheduling immediate appointments, submitting status reports and paperwork, answering questions, and providing assistance whenever needed.
For patients, we provide prompt, specialty-trained orthopedic care for virtually all areas of the body at our multiple Florida Orthopaedic Institute locations. Our Workers’ Compensation team first considers nonsurgical conservative treatment and will only recommend surgery if absolutely necessary.
