Oklahoma Pain Management seeks two fellowship-trained anesthesia pain physicians ready to embrace a revolutionary practice model that has redefined efficiency and patient care in interventional pain management. This isn't just another pain position – it's an invitation to join the top 1% of practices nationwide, where you'll learn to deliver exceptional care at volumes that your colleagues won't believe possible. Dr. Wright, who personally performs over 200 procedures weekly (while the national average hovers around 60), will mentor you through a proven system that allows physicians to focus purely on what they trained for: performing procedures and building patient relationships.
This position challenges everything traditional pain management teaches about patient volume and quality care. Where most practices see efficiency and excellence as opposing forces, Oklahoma Pain Management has proven they amplify each other. You'll discover how systematic excellence – what Dr. Wright calls "the Chick-fil-A principle" – creates an environment where physicians thrive by doing exactly what they love: procedures. The practice has deliberately engineered out the administrative burden, documentation drudgery, and workflow inefficiencies that plague most pain practices. Imagine walking into work, greeting patients, performing procedures with precision, and heading home without ever touching a computer for charting.
You're joining at an inflection point. After years of steady organic growth through word-of-mouth excellence, the practice has entered an explosive expansion phase. Monthly referrals have skyrocketed from 450 to nearly 700 in just four months, with projections exceeding 1,000 monthly referrals within the year. This isn't speculative growth – it's the direct result of becoming the exclusive pain management provider for Integris Health System (https://baptist.integrishealth.org/), Oklahoma's largest healthcare network. The practice currently operates at 67% capacity despite seeing 800+ patients weekly, meaning your patient base is already waiting.
Unlike positions that throw new physicians into the deep end with a "build your own practice" mentality, you'll receive intensive mentorship from physicians who have mastered ultra-high-volume interventional pain management. Dr. Wright doesn't just tell you his system works – he shows you through educational videos documenting spinal cord stimulator implants completed in 13 minutes (when the national average exceeds an hour). This isn't about cutting corners; it's about eliminating wasted motion through perfect preparation and team synchronization. You'll learn techniques that took decades to refine, compressed into a structured training program that previous physicians describe as career-transforming.
This position exists because the practice has reached a critical decision point: continue turning away patients or expand strategically with physicians who embrace excellence. You won't be hired to maintain the status quo – you'll be developed to eventually anchor your own location, potentially lead the expansion into new markets, and help build additional ambulatory surgery centers. Dr. Wright seeks physicians with the mindset of professional athletes: individuals who thrive on performance metrics, embrace coaching, and find satisfaction in being part of an elite team where everyone performs at the highest level.
Your practice will serve a vast metropolitan area spanning multiple counties across central Oklahoma, addressing critical community needs where pain management wait times at other practices stretch to months. With the recent partnership as the exclusive pain provider for Integris Health System – which includes seven spine surgeons across multiple facilities – you'll fill an essential gap in ensuring patients receive interventional treatment within two weeks of referral. This rapid access model prevents emergency department recurrence, reduces unnecessary opioid dependence, and returns patients to function faster than traditional pain management approaches.
Your first months will fundamentally reshape how you think about pain management. The practice's training program, refined over 18 years, will teach you to see patients through a different lens – not as lengthy consultations requiring extensive documentation, but as focused interventional opportunities where your expertise directly translates to immediate pain relief. You'll discover that seeing 80+ patients daily isn't about rushing; it's about eliminating every unnecessary step between a patient's pain and their relief. Previous physicians report this training permanently elevated their career trajectory, with even those who eventually left for hospital employment crediting these methods for their continued success.
This position offers something increasingly rare in modern medicine: the opportunity to practice at the absolute peak of your specialty while maintaining personal balance, backed by an infrastructure designed to make you successful from day one.
