In a significant move to enhance medical services in the Tampa Bay area, Physician Partners of America (PPOA) has successfully acquired the patient base of Crespo Injury Care Center. This transition is set to integrate the renowned Dr. L. Ariel Crespo, MD, into PPOA's expanding network of pain management specialists.

Founded in 1996, Crespo Injury Care Center boasts a long-standing history of service to the local community, making its acquisition a valuable addition to PPOA. This integration will allow PPOA to leverage Crespo's established reputation and patient trust while continuing to provide high-quality interventional pain care. The CEO of PPOA, Josh Helms, highlighted the strategic importance of this acquisition, stating, "Dr. Crespo has built a strong reputation in the community through his dedication to patient outcomes and personalized care. By bringing him and his patients into the PPOA family, we’re not only growing our network but also strengthening our commitment to providing interventional pain management to more people who need it."
