HOW THE FLORIDA SPINE AND PAIN INSTITUTE INVESTS IN PEOPLE, GROWTH, AND EXCELLENCE PHILOSOPHY

Scaling a medical practice requires a strategic approach focused on sustainable growth, smart investments, and attracting top talent. At Florida Spine and Pain Institute, Dr. Javier Placer and his wife, CEO Dara Sanchez have embraced this philosophy, reinvesting every profit dollar into expansion. From purchasing office buildings to bringing advanced medical equipment in-house, they’ve prioritized growth and innovation.

VISION

Dr. Placer, a University of Florida-trained interventional physiatrist, and Dara Sanchez, a Harvard University graduate, built their business with a clear vision: to remain independent while setting industry standards. Their success is driven by surrounding themselves with top-tier professionals and leveraging expert advice to create a detailed growth plan.

VALUES

Investing in their team has been crucial. “It delights us to offer competitive salaries and benefits, including a 401K matching plan and leadership training,” says Sanchez. Moreover, the physicians on the team have the ability to share in the success and growth of the business through performance-based compensation. This lets them have an upside in their earnings and also choose the level of work-life balance that is best for them personally. The company values—compassion, teamwork, integrity, positivity, and service—attract professionals who align with their mission of excellence.

GROWTH

For 15 years, Dr. Placer worked in an orthopedic group before founding Florida Spine and Pain to provide alternatives to medication and surgery. What began as a humble vision for a better approach to pain management has expanded into four clinic locations and partnerships with 22 skilled nursing facilities throughout Central Florida. Their focus on quality care, patient outcomes, and growth has made them a model for private practices, inspiring others to scale without sacrificing independence.
