Your Health Comes First

Healthcare in America has become a complex administrative task with insurance companies often directing the course and timing of treatment. Some practitioners responded by trying to quickly churn through patients like a fast-food restaurant.

Not at Palm Beach Spine & Diagnostic Institute – Your Health Comes First!

All of our patients spend meaningful time with Dr. Gorfine for a proper evaluation of the nature of the pain / injury. We make arrangements for all relevant diagnostic tests (some of which are performed right in our facility), analyze the results and offer treatment options.

We do not perform major expensive back surgery. We don’t prescribe narcotics to mask the symptoms. Instead, we treat the source of the pain / injury with minimally-invasive procedures to produce long-term relief.

How? Dr. Gorfine has always been in the forefront of the latest medical advances and has pioneered the newest techniques that have just recently become in great demand. Of course, those other doctors don’t have decades of experience performing procedures such radiofrequency treatments. These procedures and more (facet injections & RF, epidural steroid injections, laser therapy, micro-targeted cortisone injections, etc.) are performed in our own state-of the art surgical center.

To not be able to move or get out of bed for about 3 years... it took everything I love. The staff at Palm Beach Spine & Diagnostic Institute gave me a lot of hope. It took a few weeks and I started to feel better. It was miraculous. I danced... hiked ... doing kung-fu again ... it's definitely worth it. You can't put a price on feeling good. You cannot put a price on your health.
