With eight clinic locations across Georgia, Southern Pain and Spine delivers board-certified pain management and interventional spine care to patients in Atlanta and throughout the state. Atlanta-area locations include offices in Buckhead/Midtown Atlanta and Sandy Springs, with additional sites in Athens, Fayetteville, Gainesville, Jasper, Newnan, and Stockbridge serving the wider Georgia patient base.
The practice takes a comprehensive and rehabilitative approach to chronic pain, with physicians and advanced practice providers offering minimally invasive surgical treatments alongside non-surgical options. Conditions treated span head pain, nerve pain, abdominal pain, spine pain, hip and pelvic pain, joint pain, and a broad range of general pain diagnoses. Treatment modalities include nerve block therapy, radiofrequency treatments, sacroiliac joint pain procedures, kyphoplasty, implant-based pain management, and pain management injections. Each approach is described as guided by board-certified providers working within a collaborative clinical framework.
Seven fully accredited surgery centers support the practice, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and advanced imaging systems. The clinical team includes approximately 15 physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants across all locations. Leadership is provided by CEO and Managing Partner Ankur Patel, DO, RPH, and Chief Medical Officer Jordan Tate, MD, MPH.
The practice accepts insurance from major carriers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, and Medicare. Financial assistance programs are available to patients who need support with costs. An online appointment scheduling system is in place, supplemented by a virtual assistant named Sophie for after-hours scheduling requests, extending patient access beyond standard office hours.
Most locations maintain hours of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Thursday, with Friday hours varying by site. The primary contact number is (678) 971-4167. The practice describes its care philosophy as patient-centric care with southern hospitality. With Atlanta offices in Buckhead/Midtown and Sandy Springs, the practice is well-positioned to serve patients across the northern and central Atlanta metro, while the broader eight-location footprint across Georgia ensures access for patients in suburban and rural communities beyond the city core.
