What we do
Everything a family needs, before anyone needs a referral.
Twelve services under one roof. Blood is drawn, and EKGs and allergy testing are done, in the same office as your visit, so most visits end with an answer rather than a referral across town.

How it works
Four steps, and none of them
involve a phone tree.
-
Call, or just walk in
Walk in, no appointment needed, or call the office first to shorten your wait. Same-day visits are welcome.
-
Bring four things
A photo ID, your insurance card, a list of every medication and supplement you take, and any records from another practice. The rest of the paperwork happens here.
-
Tests happen in the same office
At the Miami Lakes office, blood is drawn and EKGs, allergy testing and Pap smears are done in the same building, so there is no second appointment across town.
-
You leave with a plan
What was found, what happens next and when, in English or Spanish. If a test needs a follow-up, your provider tells you how and when you will hear about it.
You don't need an app or an account to be seen. A phone call, or walking in, works.

- An exam and health history with one of our providers
- An eating and activity plan you can actually keep
- Prescription medication, only if you meet the criteria
Realistic goal5–10% of starting weight in about six months Explore the program -
IV therapy IV Therapy & Infusions

Explore the program
Read on your own arm, usually within 15 to 20 minutes.
Allergy program
Florida's pollen seasons
run longer than most.
Antihistamines manage the symptoms. Allergy shots aim at the cause. A skin test shows exactly what you react to, whether grass, mold, dust mite or dander; then shots with slowly increasing doses of those allergens teach your immune system to tolerate them. They may also help prevent new allergies from developing.
- Bahia grass
- Bermuda grass
- Live oak
- Ragweed
- Australian pine
- Brazilian pepper
- Dust mite
- Cockroach
- Alternaria
- Aspergillus
- Cladosporium
- Cat dander
- Dog dander
- Melaleuca
