Florida Spine & Pain Specialists

What Florida Spine & Pain Specialists does

Florida Spine & Pain Specialists (FLSPS) is a private interventional pain management and sports medicine practice operating three clinic locations in Riverview, Tampa, and Sarasota, Florida. The practice is led by Dr. Nomen Azeem, a double board-certified interventional pain and physical medicine specialist, supported by a nurse practitioner (Ashley Wheeler) and a Doctor of Physical Therapy (Joel Verzosa). Its clinical offering is built around image-guided minimally invasive procedures, including fluoroscopy- and ultrasound-directed epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, kyphoplasty, and regenerative medicine (PRP and stem cell therapy). The practice also operates a Wellness Division offering Botox for chronic migraines and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, along with telemedicine consultations for remote evaluation.

The business model is a fee-for-service clinical practice with revenue derived from procedure billing, insurance reimbursement across a broad commercial payor network (Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Ambetter, and others), Medicare, Tricare, and specialized workers' compensation services. Patients are acquired through physician referrals, insurance network participation, online reputation (4.9/5 across 21 verified reviews), and the practice's website. The target patient segments include chronic pain sufferers, auto accident injury patients (within Florida's PIP coverage window), workers' compensation cases, and sports medicine patients.

Operationally, the practice is a small, single-physician-anchored enterprise with 1-10 employees, no disclosed external funding or parent company, and a technology stack consisting of an eClinicalWorks patient portal and a Tebra-powered website. The practice's differentiation rests on the founder's clinical credentials and society leadership roles, its non-opioid treatment philosophy, and the breadth of its in-network insurance contracts. There are no disclosed revenue figures, no M&A activity, and no private equity or venture capital involvement.
