I had the chance to sit down with Jennifer Davison Rossmell, CEO of Vero Orthopaedics, to talk about how the practice continues to grow while staying focused on delivering the best possible care to every patient. Vero Orthopaedics is one of the region’s most well-respected orthopedic groups, known for prioritizing patient care, whether someone comes in through workers’ comp or as a private patient.

Since 2022, several of their physicians have been named to the Best Doctors in Workers’ Compensation list, a reflection of the consistent outcomes and trusted care they provide. Jennifer and I talked about what’s new at Vero, how they manage access and communication, and how her team stays focused on making sure injured workers get the care they need, without delays or compromise.

Mari: Vero treats a lot of injured workers. What would you say is most important when it comes to their care?

Jennifer: The most important thing is that they get the right care without delay. When someone is hurt on the job, they need to be seen quickly and evaluated by the right specialist. That first visit really sets the tone for everything that follows. We make sure they’re scheduled promptly, that they know what to expect, and that their care stays consistent from beginning to end. Our goal is always to help them recover and return to function. They’re not just another number, and our physicians are committed to helping them get back to their life. We take that responsibility seriously.

Mari: What do you think helps Vero stand out when it comes to treating workers’ comp cases?

Jennifer: We’re consistent. Our physicians understand both the clinical side and the expectations that come with treating workers’ comp cases. That means accurate diagnosis, clear and timely documentation, and strong communication. Our workers’ comp team stays hands-on throughout. They’re constantly in contact with adjusters, case managers, and employers to make sure everything is moving in the right direction. And whether someone is a workers’ comp patient or a private patient, the level of care doesn’t change. The goal is always the same: get them better and help them return to work and life.

Mari: You’ve made fast access a priority. What does that look like day to day?

Jennifer: We hold appointment slots specifically for injured workers so we can get them in right away. We also have walk-in availability, which we’re proud to offer. Any injured worker can walk in and be seen with the proper authorization in place. For employers who want more structure, we offer direct agreements that help streamline access and, in many cases, lower the overall cost. Whether it’s a walk-in, a referral, or a direct contract, we make sure they’re seen quickly and taken care of.

Mari: Your facility is full-service, which makes a big difference in care timelines.

Jennifer: It really does. We have imaging, physical therapy, and occupational therapy all in one place. So if a patient needs a scan or therapy after their appointment, we can often start those next steps the same day. That helps avoid delays, keeps our physicians involved in every step of the plan, and makes everything more efficient. We designed the facility to support full-circle care from evaluation to treatment to return to function, all in one location. That helps patients move through treatment more smoothly and return to work faster. We also just opened our second-floor hand and upper extremity suite, which includes on-site occupational therapy. It’s a dedicated space designed for comfort, convenience, and better coordination between therapy and physician care. That’s another example of how we’re always looking for ways to improve care for our patients.

Mari: What do you think employers and referral sources value most about working with your team?

Jennifer: That we’re reliable, responsive, and patient-focused. They know their injured workers will be seen promptly, the documentation will be done right and on time, and the care will be consistent. Most importantly, they trust that the injured worker is receiving the best care. That trust is something we’ve built over time by having open lines of communication with all parties involved. That kind of coordination makes a big difference.

Mari: Last question. How do you lead all of this?

Jennifer: I try to stay grounded and focused on what matters most. I’ve worked in both clinical and administrative roles, so I know how important it is for things to run smoothly from start to finish. My style is very open-door. I believe in clear communication and in creating a work environment where everyone feels supported and valued. Whether we’re seeing ten patients or one hundred, our team knows the patient always comes first. That mindset guides everything we do.

Vero Orthopaedics has served the Vero Beach community since 1976, providing specialized orthopedic, neurologic, and rehabilitative care. In 2021, they opened their new 66,000 square foot facility at 3955 Indian River Blvd., bringing all services together in one location, including a surgery center, therapy, MRI, and now their second-floor hand and upper extremity suite. Under Jennifer Davison’s leadership, the practice continues to grow while staying focused on what matters most: making sure every patient gets the care they need when they need it, with a team that puts patient care first.
