About Our Center

Like you, we value personalized treatment and are committed to avoiding the impersonal, assembly line approach so common in healthcare today. Our goal is to restore function while minimizing pain, and we believe in reducing the chronic use of medications whenever possible.

Too often, patients are only offered limited treatment options or rely on medications (such as opioids) that may not work, have intolerable side effects, or fail to provide adequate relief. This type of “fast food” medicine is very efficient but rarely provides satisfactory results.

Neuroscience Pain Center is part of First Choice Neurology, the largest neurology group in the country. This gives us the resources to help patients while allowing us to avoid treating our patients as if they are just a number. Navigating the healthcare system can be challenging, and even simple tasks like making appointments can become difficult. At our office, we prioritize direct communication and strive to make your experience as smooth as possible.

We look forward to welcoming you and providing the individualized care that you and your family deserve.

Thania Duran is our clinical coordinator. She brings over 30 years of direct patient care experience to our team. She has been with Neuroscience Pain Center since 2009 and is the main point of contact for patients with questions regarding their care. Thania works with our providers to get patients the help they need.

Dayanee Ayala is our surgical coordinator. She has over 15 years of experience dealing with insurance companies, clinics, and urgent care centers. She is in charge of getting authorizations for procedures and scheduling them in the office or surgery center. Dayanee is a valuable resource for patients in dealing with the intricacies of the healthcare bureaucracy which has made getting care so difficult for many patients.

Massiel De La Rosa runs our front desk. She is the first person most people meet in the practice. She can help direct patients to the appropriate person to get the help they need and is in charge of scheduling office appointments. Massiel can also step in to help the rest of the staff when things are busy.

Kaylee Baldeon is our office manager. She is an honors graduate from FIU and helps keep the many aspects of our practice operating smoothly. She is in charge of working with our Central Business Office, which provides important back office services to our care center. Kaylee also helps back up the rest of the staff when things are particularly busy.

Note that many insurance plans require a referral for specialist visits and will not cover visits without a referral. Check with your insurance company to make sure your plan does not require a referral. Original Medicare and Medicare Supplemental plans typically do not require referrals, but most Medicare Advantage plans do require referrals.

Medicare Advantage plans, and many other health insurance plans, require prior authorization in order to cover a procedure. For those patients who do not want to wait for prior authorization, we offer a self-pay option.

The pain center is part of First Choice Neurology, which has over 70 locations throughout Florida. Certain tests such as EMG’s, EEG’s, and MRI’s are done at some of our other locations.
