The Georgia Pain Spine Center (GPSC)opened its newest facility next to our Marietta Office location on Monday July 6th. The GPSC is where our doctors perform all of the flouroscopy guided procedures for patients seen at Pain Solutions Treatment Centers.

The GPSC's sister facility in Cartersville has been in operation for over three years and has become a convenient, trusted procedure center for our Cartersville area patients.

Both facilities will be fully licensed by the state of Georgia and accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Centers (AAAHC). The AAAHC is a national board that sets standards for Ambulatory Health Centers and reviews and inspects all aspects of operations to assure patients that they are recieving the highest quality health care.

The nursing staff for the GPSC facilities are specially trained to assist the physician with procedures and in the provision of conscious sedation when it is needed for appropriate patient safety and convenience.

Pain Solutions has operated an ASC at our Cartersville facility 2006 and we have performed over 15,000 flouroscopy guided procedures at that facility alone since.

The facility will be staffed by specially trained and certified nursing staff and will offer conscious sedation prior to procedures if needed by the patient. Look for updates as we get closer to opening
