Kevin C. Joyce: CEO of Orlando Orthopaedic Center

With over 50 years of trusted service, Orlando Orthopaedic Center (OOC) stands as the largest independent orthopaedic and musculoskeletal group in Central Florida—an achievement grounded in a simple yet powerful mission: to do what’s right for every patient, every time. Their commitment to high-quality, conservative care—combined with a strong focus on accessibility and independence—continues to set the standard for treating injured workers across the region.

Founded in 1972 by Dr. Mumby and Dr. Shea, OOC began as a single office in downtown Orlando. Today, the practice has grown to include over 40 providers, 10 office locations, six physician-owned ambulatory surgery centers, and a network of urgent care centers designed to give injured workers quick access to specialized treatment.

When it comes to workers’ compensation, the philosophy is clear: prioritize conservative treatment, return patients to work as safely and swiftly as possible, and keep communication clear and timely. From same-day appointments and orthopaedic walk-in clinics to real-time sharing of records and DWC-25s, OOC’s focus on continuity of care is one of the many reasons they remain the provider of choice in this market.

The group also offers comprehensive in-house services—including MRI, physical therapy, and durable medical equipment (DME)—allowing them to streamline the treatment process from evaluation through recovery. Their multispecialty team covers spine, sports, upper and lower extremity injuries, adult reconstructive needs, and pain management, all under one roof.

Even throughout the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Orlando Orthopaedic Center remained a reliable resource for patients and case managers alike. From adopting telemedicine options to increasing staff to meet demand, the practice has taken proactive steps to ensure uninterrupted, high-quality care—even under pressure.

Looking ahead, OOC’s goal is simple: continue growing organically in the Central Florida market while remaining proudly independent from hospital ownership. For adjusters, case managers, or employers seeking responsive, expert orthopedic care for injured workers, the team at Orlando Orthopaedic Center offers a collaborative approach built on trust, experience, and a deep-rooted commitment to patient outcomes.
