BEST Health System

What BEST Health System does

BEST Health System is a private, Tampa-headquartered outpatient healthcare operator that organizes and grows chronic-pain, neuropathy, and orthopedic practices through a partner-clinic model. The company was established by CEO Bill Horne — a former Laser Spine Institute executive — alongside COO Gary Mancini, CMO Briley Cienkosz, and President/CFO Mark Andrezejewski, all alumni of the same organization that reportedly served over 75,000 patients.

The core clinical offering is built around FDA-approved neuromodulation, principally spinal cord stimulation devices implanted under minimally invasive protocols with sub-1-inch incisions, alongside spine procedures (discectomy, laminotomy, kyphoplasty, fusion), orthopedic procedures for hip/knee/shoulder, interventional pain management (radiofrequency ablation, facet thermal ablation, joint injections), imaging (X-ray, MRI), and conservative therapy (physical therapy, manual therapy, vestibular rehab). A Sacral Nerve Stimulation line extends neuromodulation into urology for overactive bladder and fecal incontinence. Pre-implantation neuromodulation trials are offered as a conversion pathway to permanent implants. The company cites a 98% patient satisfaction rate and patients ambulating within hours of surgery as core functional claims.

BEST operates a National Pain & Spine Growth Partnership program that supplies partner clinics with a 150-employee patient coordination call center, multi-channel digital marketing, and national cable/streaming TV advertising. Revenue is generated through healthcare services — chronic pain management and spine/orthopedic surgical procedures — billed through Medicare, private insurance, workers' compensation, and personal injury cases across a network spanning Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin. The company reports nearly 2,000 monthly patients across partner practices and 90,000 coordinated spine procedures to date. The organization is structured as BEST Health System, LLC, with DBA "Better Emerging Surgery and Therapies," and reports a $1.5M funding round in February 2023.

Direct peers

• U.S. Pain & Spine Centers: Multi-state network of interventional pain management and spine surgery clinics offering neuromodulation, injections, and minimally invasive procedures. Comparable in target patient population (chronic pain, FBSS, CRPS), partner/affiliate expansion model, and DTC marketing approach.
• Laser Spine Institute (legacy operations): Predecessor organization led by BEST's same C-suite (Horne, Mancini, Cienkosz, Andrezejewski). Operated minimally invasive spine surgery ASCs across multiple U.S. states serving the same chronic pain and FBSS patient population; closed in 2019. Most directly comparable in operating model and clinical focus.
• PainTEQ: Specialty interventional pain company that partners with physician practices to deliver minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion procedures. Highly comparable in partnership-led distribution into established pain management clinics, similar reimbursement model, and chronic lower-back-pain focus.
• Spine & Orthopedic Specialists: Multi-location physician group offering comprehensive spine and orthopedic care including pain management, minimally invasive surgery, and joint replacement. Comparable outpatient care continuum and chronic pain patient focus to BEST's partner clinics.
• Regenerative Orthopaedics and Spine Institute: Active BEST partner clinic in Stockbridge and Griffin, Georgia, providing regenerative and orthopedic care including spinal cord stimulation and ketamine therapy. Directly illustrative of the type of partner practice BEST's network model depends on.

Broad incumbents

• National Spine & Pain Centers (NSPC): One of the largest U.S. interventional pain management physician networks with 70+ locations. Targets the same chronic pain patient population as BEST's partner network and offers neuromodulation, injections, and RFA, making it a meaningful scale competitor for both patients and partner physicians.
• Vertrae® / Stryker Sustainable Solutions: Large orthopedic device OEMs and ASC enablement arms (Stryker, Medtronic, Boston Scientific) sell neuromodulation hardware and ASC support services to independent pain practices — overlapping with BEST's clinical offering and competing for the same physician partners' procedural volume.
• HCA Healthcare ASC Division: Large hospital system rapidly building outpatient ASC capacity for spine, orthopedics, and pain management. Represents the institutional, well-capitalized competitive backdrop against which BEST's partner-led model must win patients, surgeons, and payer contracts.
• Medtronic Pain Therapies: Global medtech leader in spinal cord stimulation (Intellis, Vanta) and sacral nerve stimulation (InterStim). Indirect but powerful peer — supplies the device platform BEST's partner surgeons implant and is increasingly pushing direct-to-patient and ASC-aligned models that could compete with BEST's care delivery layer.

Emerging players

• Neuromodulation / SCS-focused ASC startups: Emerging single-specialty ASC operators (e.g., ViaPath, iO-Spine) and similar venture-backed chronic-pain ASC platforms competing for the same partner-clinic economics, surgeon talent, and DTC patient funnels that BEST relies on.
