Interventional Pain Physician

Lifekind Health is seeking a highly skilled and procedure-focused Interventional Pain Physician to join our growing fee-for-service pain management division. This role is designed for a physician who is passionate about interventional spine and pain procedures, enjoys a high procedural volume, and thrives in clinic setting.

This is a traditional fee-for-service interventional pain position with a strong emphasis on procedural care utilization. While this physician will not practice within the Unitized Transdisciplinary Care (UTC) model directly, they will work collaboratively with UTC teams by referring appropriate patients who may benefit from comprehensive multidisciplinary support services. The ideal candidate is efficient, technically skilled, patient-focused, and motivated to build a strong interventional practice with substantial procedural autonomy.

Our mission is to bring care that’s whole, human, and healing. Blending medical, behavioral, and lifestyle support into a single plan because restoring life takes more than a prescription.

At Lifekind Health we strive every day to live up to that definition by providing the best care possible for our complex patient population. Our team of medical doctors, psychologists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and dietitians work together within a revolutionary transdisciplinary model that addresses the quadruple aim of healthcare: enhancing patient experience, improving patient health, reducing healthcare costs, and increasing employee satisfaction.
