Pulmonary Associates of Brandon

What Pulmonary Associates of Brandon does

Pulmonary Associates of Brandon is a private, for-profit medical practice operating under the d/b/a "Pulmonary Associates of Brandon," "Florida Sleep Disorder Center," and "Florida Chest," headquartered in Brandon, Florida. The practice delivers physician services across three core service lines: (1) Pulmonary Medicine for conditions including COPD, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, chronic cough, and bronchiectasis; (2) Critical Care Medicine providing ICU coverage at partner hospitals; and (3) Sleep Medicine, including diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea, insomnia, circadian sleep disorders, and restless leg syndrome, with a dedicated Florida Sleep Disorder Center for sleep studies. Underlying clinical capability rests on three physicians (Richard S. Powell M.D., Nelson A. Gomez M.D., Divyang Sorathia M.D.) who are Board Certified across Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine, with training from Tufts, Cornell (Weill Medical College), and Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Montefiore). The practice operates from two outpatient offices (910 Oakfield Dr in Brandon and 720 Cortaro Dr in Sun City Center) plus a third location at 1723 S. Kings Ave in Brandon for the Florida Sleep Disorder Center, with hospital staff privileges at Brandon Regional Hospital, South Bay Hospital, and Kindred Hospital Tampa.

The business model is fee-for-service professional services: physicians bill insurance for consultations, in-office pulmonary procedures (PFT, spirometry, DLCO, oxygen titration), and sleep studies; co-payments and deductibles are collected at time of service. Patient acquisition is primarily direct via phone (813-681-4413) and online appointment booking, supplemented by physician referrals and word-of-mouth, with educational blog content (pulmonary conditions, travel tips for lung patients) and patient testimonials as soft marketing channels. The technology stack is minimal and conventional: a Squarespace-hosted marketing website (floridachest.com), electronic patient intake forms (medical history, Berlin questionnaire, Epworth Scale, sleep history, financial policy) routed through the Phreesia patient intake/payment platform, and standard office fax/phone infrastructure. No proprietary software, AI/ML systems, mobile applications, or API/SDK products are disclosed. The practice is privately held by its physician partners with no identified parent company, holding entity, institutional investor, or PE/VC ownership signals in the source data.

Others

• American Lung Association: National nonprofit focused on lung disease research, education, and advocacy. Not a direct competitor but a thematic peer that shapes patient awareness, referral patterns, and chronic disease management standards relevant to the practice's COPD, asthma, and lung cancer patient base.

Broad incumbents

• BayCare Medical Group Pulmonology: BayCare is a leading Tampa Bay-area health system with employed pulmonology and sleep medicine specialists serving the same Western and Central Florida catchment area as Pulmonary Associates of Brandon. Represents the dominant local hospital-employed competitor model that the independent practice competes against.
• Cleveland Clinic Florida (Pulmonology): Cleveland Clinic's Florida campus in Weston provides tertiary pulmonology and sleep medicine services and draws complex patients from across Florida, including Tampa Bay. Represents the destination-of-care competitor for complex pulmonary hypertension and lung cancer cases.
• HCA Florida Healthcare (Pulmonary Services): HCA Florida operates the Brandon Regional Hospital — where Pulmonary Associates physicians hold staff privileges — and runs employed pulmonology and critical care programs. HCA represents both a partner and a competitive threat, given the trend of health systems bringing specialty services in-house.
• Mayo Clinic Florida (Pulmonary & Critical Care): Mayo Clinic's Jacksonville campus competes for complex pulmonary cases from Florida's Gulf Coast. While geographically distant, brand and tertiary capability draw referrals that otherwise might stay with regional independent practices.
• AdventHealth Medical Group Pulmonology & Sleep Medicine: AdventHealth is a major Florida-based health system operating employed physician groups across pulmonology, critical care, and sleep medicine. Overlaps directly with Pulmonary Associates of Brandon's three core service lines and competes for the same Tampa Bay patient base, but offers the backing of a multi-state integrated delivery network.

Direct peers

• Pulmonary Health Tampa: Listed as a regional hospital-affiliated partner with overlapping pulmonary service offerings. Operates in the same Tampa Bay market and competes for inpatient pulmonology and ICU coverage contracts at community hospitals.
• Florida Sleep Institute: Florida-based dedicated sleep disorder diagnostic and treatment center operating sleep labs and CPAP programs. Directly comparable to Pulmonary Associates of Brandon's Florida Sleep Disorder Center sub-brand and competes for sleep study referrals from primary care physicians in the Tampa Bay region.
• Tampa Bay Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine Specialists: Independent multi-physician pulmonary and sleep medicine practice serving the Tampa Bay market with a similar specialty mix (COPD, asthma, sleep apnea, lung cancer). The closest direct competitor in scale and service offering, competing for the same patient panels and hospital privileges.

Regional players

• USF Health Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine: University of South Florida academic pulmonary division serves the same Tampa Bay geography and competes for complex pulmonology referrals and ICU coverage. As an academic medical group, it offers tertiary services (e.g., lung transplant, severe PH) that the independent practice refers out to.
