Questions New Patients Ask

Straight answers to common questions from patients choosing a primary care doctor in Doral and Miami-Dade.

  • How do I choose the right primary care doctor? β€” Look for a clinician who accepts your insurance, communicates clearly, and can see you when you need care. Our Doral team offers bilingual visits, same-day availability when possible, and care coordination across Miami-Dade.
  • What should I bring to my first visit? β€” Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a list of medications, prior records if you have them, and any questions you want to cover with your doctor.
  • Do you coordinate specialist referrals? β€” Yes. When specialty care is needed, we help arrange referrals and share the information your specialist needs. HMO plans usually require a referral; PPO plans often do not.

  • Are you accepting new patients? β€” Yes. We welcome new patients at our Doral office and often have same-day and Saturday availability.
