Pan American Pain Institute

What Pan American Pain Institute does

Pan American Pain Institute is a single-location, physician-owned chronic pain management clinic in Tampa, Florida, founded in 2005 by Dr. Dario Grisales, a board-certified anesthesiologist with over 26 years of pain medicine expertise. The clinic provides personalized treatment plans that combine interventional procedures (epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation, intrathecal drug delivery, baclofen pump therapy, radiofrequency ablation, PRP injections, Botox for migraines) with non-interventional therapies, treating conditions including chronic back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, sciatica, and post-accident injuries. Dr. Grisales is an approved workers' compensation physician, and the clinic also serves motor vehicle accident patients under medical or attorney lien arrangements.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model with revenue drawn from four streams: insurance reimbursement (Medicare, Aetna, BCBS, CIGNA, Humana, United Healthcare, WellMed), workers' compensation medical care, motor vehicle accident/personal injury lien billings, and self-pay. Patient acquisition is driven by SEO, Google reviews, blog content marketing, and WhatsApp-based appointment scheduling, with a patient portal hosted at dr-connect.com. The clinic is HIPAA-compliant and treats patients on a fee-for-service basis without subscription or recurring billing mechanics beyond standard insurance claim cycles.

The practice is privately held by the founding physician with no institutional investment, no documented expansion beyond its single Tampa address, and a headcount of 11–50 employees. After 20 years of operation and over 1,000 patients treated, it functions as a stable, local clinical service rather than a scalable platform business, with continuity dependent on a single key practitioner.
