Many chronic pain sufferers in Brandon, Florida have tried just about every therapy possible and still have not found relief. For this reason, many are skeptical when they hear about the interventional pain management techniques we pioneer here at the Florida Pain Relief Group.
The first question most people ask us is, what is interventional pain management? Simply put, interventional pain management is a discipline that focuses on pain management using a variety of pain blocking techniques. A good portion of the techniques that we use include a form of injection therapy.
This answer often leads many of our prospective clients to ask if interventional pain management can help them even though they have been experiencing pain for a considerable amount of time. The answer is absolutely yes. Interventional pain management techniques like those offered at the Florida Pain Relief Group can help patients with a wide range of pain. It does not matter how long they have been suffering with it, there is likely a therapy that can help.
We Care About You
Interventional pain management specializes in an array of pain blocking techniques. Many of the techniques that our board-certified physicians use are in the form of injection therapies. Our goal is to provide you with a precise diagnosis of why you have pain with the goal of beginning treatment immediately.
We are not content to simply prescribe medication or recommend that our patients just go to physical therapy. In our arlington-based texas pain relief clinic we use all sources of treatment to eliminate your pain.
The techniques that we employ range from conventional to alternative. Our goal is to eliminate your pain in the fastest and most effective way.
The most effective and fastest way to eliminate pain will vary from patient to patient. This is because the way that an individual reacts to a particular treatment and the way they feel pain is unique to them.
We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all treatment. We believe that individualized care can provide pain relief even for individuals who have been in pain for years and who have heard from other medical professionals that there is nothing that they can do about the pain.
We warmly invite you to visit our arlington location. Feel free to call us and schedule an appointment. Same day appointments are also available.
You can live a pain-free life. Let us show you how.

I've been living with chronic pain my whole life and every doctor I've gone to has made me feel terrible for being in pain, some have even said "pain does not cause fatigue". When I met with Dr. Medina I cried because it was such an amazing feeling to be understood and not judged. He is working with me to build a plan and figure out my pain and take care of it, not just mask it with medications. I'm so glad I found this place!!!

Dr. Medina is very a compassionate doctor. During my initial visit I began having spasms while he was examing me and he was very sympathetic and reassuring. I thought he was going to cry. I'm joking about him crying, but he was very concerned about my pain. Obviously I was impressed.

I moved down from Chicago in July had a hard time finding a pain management Dr. Since we don't have such stringent laws in I'll my primary care Dr was all I needed. Went to 2 other doctors offices before Dr. Medina. He was the only one who took the time to talk to me and suggest the right medications since I had a high dosage of narcotics being prescribed. His new recipe lowered the that and made my pain still manageable. I have recomended and him to my sister and will continue to recommend him. So if you are looking for a great pain management doctor in the Tampa area I highly recommend Dr. Jose Medina-Rodriguez.

The Doctors at FPRG are exceptional. I read some of the other reviews and I don't know what happened to those people, or maybe they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time, but I have always received excellent care from the reception staff, and Dr Medina and Alexis. This is the third pain management group that I have gone to in Tampa and the only one I would recommend.

I feel the need to update this after finding out that the deception and intentional cruelty goes all the way to the top. After speaking to the head doctor of the practice, Dr. Rivera I believe his name was, I felt like he was genuinely sorry for the way they lied to me. I told him I didnt want to go back to my doctors office because of everything so, I have to find a new practice. He apologized, even gave me a discharge paper saying it was their fault and I did nothing wrong, and told me he would help me if it took too long to find a new practice. So, when i called him earlier about sending in my last prescription, he was incredibly rude and told me he never said that. Then, he hung up on me. Mind you, I am already late for the prescription because I didnt want to deal with them again. But I get lied to and hung up on. Yet again, there are witnesses and video proof of their lies. I've never seen a place so poorly ran with so many crooks and liars. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Oh, they also still have my money from my appointment that they did nothing for. Seems like theft by deception to me. I'm needing to speak to the person in charge, the highest doctor or highest in office. I have been a patient of Dr. Medina for months now. I have done everything I was told to do and followed all the rules. I found out yesterday that I am now being left to suffer because his office was sending prescriptions over for me, in another doctors name that is in partner with you. His office staff spoke with the pharmacist directly and gave them the prescription in Dr. Leals name, but gave them Dr. Medinas DEA numbers. Something I found out after speaking with the pharmacy manager today when his office tried claiming they didn't speak to them or send it. I stood in Dr. Medinas office, on camera, when his assistant gave the numbers to the pharmacy manager. Something that can be verified from video. I should not have to suffer because they misused their own power and are now trying to cover it up. I'm getting no where with the office and my next step is going to a lawyer and the public. I need to hear back as soon as possible. I wish I could go into detail all the horrors this practice has caused but there's a word limit. DO NOT GO HERE OR TRUST THEM I think that screenshot is pretty solid proof of how trustworthy this practice is. THEY give themselves good reviews.

As a chronic pain patient here in Tampa for a short time I have been well cared for with Dr. Medina and especially Alexis and the rest of his staff...

My experience with PPoA has been great. My initial impression on first visit was better than all the previous PM clinics. There wasn't a waiting room full of drug seekers, this clinic is not a pill mill. Staff is very professional and compassionate. The Dr. take the time to listen to your concerns. They have worked with me to get care without insurance and offer self pay at a reduced rate. They even offered a payment plan for procedures. We came up with a treatment plan to manage my pain incorporating: home care, PT, imaging, injection procedures and I was offered pharma-genetics (DNA testing) to choose the appropriate medicine. I believe in conservative medicine and committing to home therapy on a daily basis is key in recovery. I would definitely refer a friend or family member to PPoA. I'm in good hands.

Doctor forgot to schedule the proper MRI for my wife, she had to get two separate procedures done, then I had an appointment for 4 pm, they called a few hours earlier to get me to reschedule it for 2:30 pm which was difficult for me with work, but I was still able to get there @ 3pm and I called about 45 minutes prior to tell them that I would be late (I was coming from St. Pete with some traffic). They told me because I was late I could not be seen, as far as I am concerned I was there an hour early! Do not come here unless you do not value your time.

Dr Madina-Sanchez is an AWSOME Doctor. He is Very professional and knowledgeable about procedures for every diagnosis. The staff is friendly. I have been in pain management for 17 years. I feel 100% comfortable with this Dr and trust him doing my procedures and he does what is best for the patient. I highly recommend Dr Madina-Sanchez.

This was my first visit and I was in a lot of pain. I was nervous after leaving my pain management doctor of six years in another state. I found the staff to be somewhat professional but they needed to smile and make us feel welcome. I wish I would have gotten my new patient paperwork before I arrived. After filing out the all the papers needed I didn’t wait to long to be called back. I was taken to get my drug screen cup to pee in. I gave them my cup and was taken back to the room. The MA was nice and answered most of my questions. Soon after she left Dr. Medina-Sanchez walked in. He shook my hand and said “What can I do for you today?”. With a smile. We had a quick chat about my issues and problems. He seemed to know exactly what to do. I left feeling what I needed was taken care of. Finally a doctor that was professional and didn’t treat you like he hated his job. Dr. Medina-Sanchez was wonderful. Treating you like a person and not a number. Overall this was a pretty good experience. I was scheduled for my next visit and headed for my one hour journey back home. I will be back!

To be clear, the only reason they get 2 stars is because Dr. Medina is very friendly and the office manager Renee is very helpful and patient oriented. Outside of those 2 positive points this place defines unprofessionalism. From multi-hour wait times for appointments, to failed transport services on the day of a procedure, 2-3 hr wait times for procedures, absence of doctor at surgical center for a scheduled procedure, to the previous unfriendly rude staff I caution you against expecting to salvage any productive hours out of your work day if you have an appointment of any kind with this medical group. For all their advertising and boasting about “treating the problem not just the pain” and being “patient centric” this group could actually benefit from a few time management and human relations classes for the doctors and supporting staff alike.
Awesome Dr and staff definetly would recommend to others hes caring he gets down to problem staff are wonderful as well
