Interventional Spine Specialists of Florida

What Interventional Spine Specialists of Florida does

Interventional Spine Specialists of Florida (ISSF) is a private interventional pain management medical practice founded in 1996 and headquartered in Tamarac, Florida. It diagnoses and treats chronic and acute pain conditions of the spine, back, neck, joints, and nervous system using minimally invasive, fluoroscopy-guided procedures. Its core clinical offerings include spinal cord stimulation, MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression), Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE), Hip Artery Embolization (HAE), kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty, radiofrequency ablation, nerve blocks, joint injections, and stellate ganglion blocks for PTSD and post-COVID syndromes. The practice operates three office locations across Tamarac, Fort Lauderdale, and Plantation, with a surgery center serving Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties.

The practice is led by President and Medical Director Dr. Jesse Hatgis, DO, alongside five additional board-certified physicians (Cairns, Frankoski, Graca, Prasad, Merchant) and two advanced practice providers. Dr. Hatgis also serves as ACGME Accredited Pain Medicine Fellowship Program Director at Larkin Hospital - Palm Springs Campus, and Dr. Cairns sits on the Florida Board of Medicine by gubernatorial appointment. ISSF generates revenue almost entirely through insurance reimbursement (Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare) for interventional procedures, consultations, and Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury cases processed through dedicated referral channels. The practice markets via educational blog content, video media, patient testimonials, a referral network of primary care and orthopedic physicians, and employer/insurer outreach for the Return to Duty program. There are no disclosed funding rounds, ownership transactions, or institutional investors; the practice appears to be physician-owned.

Products and services

• Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) Therapy Implantable medical device therapy that manages chronic pain by sending electrical impulses to the spinal cord to interfere with nerve signals transmitting pain to the brain; offered in conventional, burst, and high-frequency configurations for patients with refractory chronic pain conditions.
• MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) Procedure Minimally invasive outpatient procedure that relieves pressure on spinal nerves by gently removing excess ligament tissue to open space in the spinal canal for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis; no implants or hardware required and preserves natural spine movement.
• Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) Non-surgical image-guided embolization procedure that reduces chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis by blocking abnormal blood flow to inflamed blood vessels around the knee joint; outpatient with same-day discharge and quick recovery.
• Hip Artery Embolization (HAE) Minimally invasive procedure using image-guided catheter-based embolization to block abnormal blood flow to the hip joint, reducing inflammation and relieving chronic hip pain caused by osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis.
• Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty Spinal procedures that stabilize vertebral compression fractures and relieve associated pain through bone cement injection or balloon-assisted cement placement.
• Mental Health Procedures (SGB and Ketamine Infusions) Stellate ganglion block (SGB) procedures for PTSD, post-COVID/long COVID, and CRPS, along with ketamine infusions for depression, anxiety, PTSD, CRPS, fibromyalgia, and central pain syndrome. The PTSD Group protocol was integrated into ISSF after launching in 2019.
• Multi-Modal Pain Management Comprehensive treatment approach combining multiple classes of non-opioid pain medications with interventional procedures, physical therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and rehabilitation to manage chronic pain.
• Interventional Pain Management Services Comprehensive interventional pain management portfolio including peripheral nerve stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, nerve blocks, joint injections, facet joint stabilization, sacroiliac joint fusion, tumor ablation, and regenerative medicine.

• Cleveland Clinic Florida: Major academic health system with a large Southeast Florida presence (including Broward County) offering interventional pain, neurosurgery, and orthopedic spine. Competes with ISSF for complex pain referrals but as part of a much broader multi-specialty portfolio.
• Memorial Healthcare System: Broward County-based health system with interventional pain, neurosurgery, and orthopedic services. Geographic overlap with ISSF and similar procedural capabilities embedded in a larger hospital network.
• The GW Medical Faculty Associates - Pain Medicine: Academic multi-specialty practice with an interventional pain division offering spinal cord stimulation, kyphoplasty, and advanced procedures. Comparable service mix but operates within an academic health system rather than as an independent clinic.

Directly comparable to ISSF in procedure mix and patient population, but at much larger national scale.
