Two orthopedic surgeons and an occupational medicine physician were among five Florida physicians cited this week for the 2005 Florida CHOICE Awards.
The awards were given to physicians demonstrating excellence in treating injured employees.
The Florida CHOICE Awards for Workers' Compensation were presented yesterday during the 60th Annual Workers' Compensation Educational Conference in Orlando, Fla.
Recipients include Vladimir Alexander, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon with Alexander Orthopedic Associates in Largo; David Gilbert, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon with Broward Orthopedic Specialists in Ft. Lauderdale; and Mario Medero, M.D., an occupational medicine physician with Medero Medical, a five-location clinic based in Ocala;
Also named were Mark Rubenstein, M.D., FAAPMR, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician with Gold Coast Orthopedics in West Palm Beach; and Seth Charles Wachsman, M.D., an anesthesiologist with Anesthesia Pain Care Consultants in Tamarac.
Doctors were nominated by individuals involved in Florida's workers' compensation system, including risk managers, claims professionals, nurse case managers, adjusters, employers, physician staff and injured employees.
Winners were selected from more than 93 nominees after a stringent, multi-level judging process. Judging criteria was based on the physician's record of delivering high-quality care, promoting a return-to-work philosophy and achieving a high rate of patient satisfaction, according to officials at Tampa, Fla.-based CHOICE Medical Management Services, LLC, a specialty health care management organization focused on workers' comp and disability management services.
Award sponsors are CHOICE Medical Management Services LLC, Florida Underwriter magazine, Network Synergy Inc., One Call Medical Inc., Unisource Administrators Inc., and ZoneCare USA.
