Foundation Pain & Spine PLLC

About Foundation Pain & Spine PLLC

Foundation Pain & Spine is first and foremost an interventional pain-management and spine practice -- the weight-management side, using semaglutide and tirzepatide, is a secondary service line rather than the core focus. The practice is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and closed on weekends, with three Dallas-area offices: Dallas LBJ, Dallas Washington Ave, and McKinney.

The lead physician is Dr. Justin Thompson, MD, a graduate of UT Southwestern Medical School with advanced training from Baylor University and Virginia Commonwealth University.

The bulk of what the practice publishes centers on pain and spine care rather than weight loss: pain management, neuromodulation, regenerative medicine, medication management, Botox, epidural steroid injections, nerve block injections, rhizotomy (radiofrequency ablation), vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and spinal cord stimulation, alongside the weight-management program itself.

On cost, there isn't a published number for the weight-management program -- no consult fee, no monthly price, nothing that lets a searcher compare it against a dedicated weight-loss clinic before calling. Insurance is addressed only in general terms -- "multiple insurance partners" -- without naming specific plans or carriers, so patients would need to call and confirm their own coverage applies rather than checking a list online.

Telehealth isn't addressed on the pages checked, so it's unclear whether a virtual visit is possible for the weight-management program or whether everything requires an in-person appointment at one of the three offices. There's also no stated founding date or years-in-practice figure for the practice as a whole.

For someone specifically shopping for a weight-loss program, this is probably not the first stop -- Foundation Pain & Spine reads much more like a spine and pain clinic that added a GLP-1 option, rather than a dedicated weight-loss practice. That can be an advantage if joint or spine pain is part of the picture and a patient wants one practice handling both, but anyone weighing it purely against dedicated weight-loss clinics should expect to call for pricing, insurance confirmation, and telehealth availability rather than finding it published.
