Indian River Medical Center: "Indian River Medical Center is an excellent hospital and community resource in Vero Beach. I was there for heart procedures and have the utmost confidence in their medical staff, nurses and support staff all around. The hospital was clean and safe. All rooms are suites for one patient. My care was on time and per the plan. Vero is lucky to have some of the best heart surgeons anywhere, and an excellent community of cardiologists who work together for the patient. The Duke affiliation provides process design and technology that is not not normally found in a hospital or community of this size." - Tim
