Work life balance with a five day work weekOur Story....LAGS Medical Centers is a pain management group operating throughout California, Oregon, Washington & Nevada. Since 2000, the LAGS alternative approach to pain treatments has returned patients to a healthy, active lifestyle: restoring function by minimizing pain. Dr. Lagattuta served as a Team Doctor/Physiatrist for the Chicago Bulls basketball team during their record, 72-game winning season in the Michael Jordan era. He attributes much of that success to seeing that pain can be treated by restoring movement and minimizing the use of drugs. Eventually, he developed the MAP protocol: a 3-tiered approach directly addressing pain sources from Metabolic, Anatomical and Psychological perspectives, rather than just covering up pain with opiates or pain pumps. Focusing interventional, less-invasive treatments on a patients pain source(s) can remove the need for pain-related emergency room visits, avoid costly surgeries and ultimately reduce the cost of care.LAGS has grown to care, at scale, for a large base of underserved (Medicaid/Medicare patients), who often experience challenges in accessing healthcare. Our 30+ clinics are ideally equipped to serve these and many other patients across 22 counties.. Requirements:

• Board certified and trained in interventional pain and injections (and if not, we will train)
