Diagnostic Pain Center

Diagnostic Pain Center Now with 2 locations: North Austin / Cedar Park / Round Rock / Georgetown / Pflugerville & Central / South Austin / Kyle / Bee Cave Locations!

Founded by Robert Marks, MD, we specialize in diagnosis and advanced pain management treatments, integrating traditional and progressive medicine, minimally invasive interventional procedures, and therapies for all acute and chronic pain types.
In 2012, Dr. Robert S. Marks, a compassionate, double board-certified, fellowship-trained interventional pain management specialist, founded Diagnostic Pain Center so that he would never have any business entity dictate how much time he could dedicate to a patient visit. With a foundation of the highest interventional training and continued procedural learning, DPC's superior patient care requires, as the name implies, that our fellowship-trained pain management doctors invest the necessary time to extensively document histories, imaging, and complete comprehensive diagnostic examinations with each patient, whether this is your first time visiting a pain management doctor, or hopefully your last. DPC's competitive fellowship-trained doctors specialize in treating and diagnosing the root cause of all types of acute and chronic pain, such as disease, age/degeneration, physiology, failed surgery, and car accident injury. After all the information is gathered, our passionate pain management professionals collaborate with the patient to explain in depth the robust and progressive options and, together with the patient, create the ideal, individualized treatment plan to help restore quality of life. This exciting field of medicine is ever-expanding, with new medical and minimally invasive options being routinely added. Still, trying to figure out where to start? When in the best interest of the patient or desired, DPC possesses a multidisciplinary referral network of other trusted providers. On the rare occasion that different medical interventions are needed, our ethics implore that when we cannot help, we will honestly direct you to the best place or person to help you as we would our family. If we need to coordinate care, our providers and office will remain responsive. In addition, if care has been previously received at a different pain control clinic, we are a trusted second opinion, and our doctors will take the time to answer your questions. At DPC, patients are individuals, not numbers, and doctors and patients make the decisions together. The primary goal is to ensure you no longer need a pain doctor. But until then, you are not alone; we are here to help!

100% Physician-owned, all our providers take pride in offering personable, compassionate, cost-effective pain management care and patient responsiveness. DPC is in-network with most major insurance carriers, Medicare, and Tricare. It also accepts private cash pay, funding companies, and Letters of Protection (LOP). Experience why DPC is the longtime, trusted source of pain management for hurting and injured Texans.

Valentine’s Day is about connection, laughter, and making memories — not sitting on the sidelines because of back or neck pain.

If chronic pain is keeping you from enjoying dinner out, a walk downtown, or even a quiet night in, it may be time to take the next step toward relief.

You deserve to feel comfortable enough to:
✨ Sit through dinner without shifting every few minutes
✨ Walk hand-in-hand without discomfort
✨ Sleep through the night without pain

Pain shouldn’t decide how you celebrate the people you love.

This Valentine’s Day, give yourself the gift of relief.

Acute pain typically starts suddenly and improves as your body heals. Chronic pain lasts longer than 3 months and can continue even after the original injury has resolved.

When pain is left untreated, it can begin to affect your sleep, mood, mobility, and overall quality of life.

The good news? Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent pain from becoming a long-term problem.

If pain is interfering with your daily life, you don’t have to push through it alone.
