Advanced Medical Group (AMG) was founded by Dr. Paul J. Kuzma in April 2015 as a way to give patients dealing with chronic and acute pain a growing number of medical options including injections, ablation, spinal cord stimulators and platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatments. Dr. Kuzma is the only board certified and fellowship trained pain management physician in Pinehurst, N.C. He specializes in diagnosis and treatment of degenerative and painful spinal conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis and spinal pain after surgery. Kuzma became a doctor after a six-year advanced biomedical education program through Union College and Albany Medical College earning his undergraduate and medical school degree just six years after high school at the age of 23. He spent nearly a decade at Walter Reed Army Medical Center beginning with completing his anesthesiology residency and rising to become their chief of pain management services.
