Dr. Carlos De La Hoz is a triple board-certified Anesthesiologist, Regenerative Medicine, and Pain Management doctor. He earned his medical degree at Universidad del Norte in Colombia, where he was raised, and completed his graduate training at the University of Miami / Jackson Memorial Hospital.

A notable achievement for Dr. De La Hoz appeared early in his career while serving as the Director of Acute Pain and Regional Anesthesia in Texas where he played an important role in developing protocols to reduce opiate usage.

Both his clinical research and his extensive training in ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided interventions and management of complex connective tissue disorders – have given him the skills to emerge as a leader in the field of Interventional Pain Management.

Currently, he is an active member of the American Board of Regenerative Medicine ( ABRM ) and serves as the Medical Director for the Neomedicine Institute in Doral, Florida. The practice specializes in Regenerative Medicine, Interventional Pain Management, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation. The focus of the Neomedicine Institute is not only on providing the best physicians but also on offering various types of treatments and preventative care, that use a multi-disciplinary approach.

Dr. De La Hoz treats his patients using an integrative approach, which involves Regenerative Medicine, Physical Therapy, and nutrition, while also educating his patients on their condition, well-being, and ways to manage pain without the use of opiates and other medications.
