Palm Beach County stretches over 50 miles from Jupiter to Boca Raton, so healthcare access depends on which part of the county you live in. Downtown West Palm Beach has Good Samaritan and St. Mary's within blocks of each other. I-95 connects northern and southern facilities, but traffic during season can make a 20-mile drive feel much longer. The western communities of Wellington and Royal Palm Beach are 25 to 35 minutes from downtown hospitals.
Providers practice throughout West Palm Beach. Downtown West Palm Beach is the urban core near Good Samaritan Medical Center and St. Mary's Medical Center, with specialist offices along Flagler Drive and Dixie Highway.

The first visit takes 45 to 60 minutes. The pain specialist will take a detailed pain history: location, character, triggers, what makes it better or worse, and previous treatments. They will review imaging and perform a physical and neurological exam. The treatment plan may include medication adjustments, a series of diagnostic or therapeutic injections, physical therapy, and in some cases psychological support for coping strategies. Expect a multi-step approach rather than a single solution.
The fragmented hospital market means you should verify which system your insurance covers before choosing a primary care doctor. In-network at Good Samaritan does not guarantee in-network at Jupiter Medical Center.
