Florida Pain Medicine was established in 1999 and has grown with seven locations serving patients throughout Central Florida. Dr. Maulik Bhalani, Founder, saw the need to expand services to those suffering from pain and worked with designers and builders on an impressive state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery which opens in August 2022.
The Surgery Center of Florida is connected to the physician offices at 27814 Summergate Blvd, Wesley Chapel allowing patients more convenience and shorter wait times for their minimally invasive procedures.
