A job done right
Pain management and minimally invasive spine are unique specialties
in terms of patient satisfaction. Even if we do the job right and deliver
good outcomes, we may be seeing those patients again when they
return for another round of injections or a potential surgical solution.
Provide every patient with a quality experience, and once you've over-
come the challenges of starting an outpatient spine program, you'll
keep it healthy over the long term. OSM

Pain stimulator placements
are easy to add, patient-satis-
fying and lucrative business,
as long as you reach a favor-
able deal with your insurers.
