The
time to find a physician is before you need one. If you wait until you are ill,
your choice will be based on the immediate need, rather than thoughtful
selection. Still, many people unnecessarily postpone finding a physician with
whom they can establish a relationship of trust and confidence.
Mount
Sinai Medical Center, South Florida's largest, private, not-for-profit,
independent, teaching hospital. Quality comprehensive care is provided in
a wide array of medical specialties including cardiology, cardiac surgery,
geriatric medicine, oncology, diagnostic imaging, Alzheimer's disease and memory
disorders, pulmonary medicine, obstetrics and gynecology and emergency
medicine. For a full list of services, please visit the clinical services
page.
In order to have these resources available to you when you
need them, call our Physician Referral Service at 305-674-CARE. Doctors in every
specialty are ready to help you with your medical problems or just be there when
you're in need.
We can answer the questions that concern you most.
Because we know you want more than names, we take the time to tell you what you
want to know about our physicians - their professional training, years of
experience, and specialty area. You may want to know beforehand how our
recommended physicians will handle your insurance claims. Whenever possible, our
Physician Referral representative will be happy to provide this
information.
If you or members of your family are more comfortable
conversing in a language other than English, we'll help you choose a physician
who speaks your native language. It's another way our Physician Referral Service
strives to meet your needs.
New to the area?
If
you're new to the community, more than likely you're busy getting settled,
unpacking boxes, finding schools, banks, shopping centers and getting to know
your new neighborhood. Place your family's health and safety at the top of your
list of things to do. It takes but a moment to secure the name of a doctor that
best suits your needs. Just call 305-674-CARE.
Part-time resident?
You're not alone. South Florida
is a known retreat for Northerners who come here for their health and to escape
the severe weather. If you're in the area for an extended visit, and are
currently being treated for a health problem, we can have your medical records
forwarded to the Mount Sinai & Miami Heart doctor of your choice. For peace
of mind, just call 305-674-CARE.
Need a second
opinion, or a doctor closer to home?
You may need a physician to
give you a second opinion or perhaps you have moved from another neighborhood
and want a doctor whose offices are nearer to your new home. On the other hand,
you may just wish to change physicians. There are many reasons to call
305-674-CARE.
Expecting a baby?
You
want your hospital to be easily accessible and you want your doctor to be highly
experienced. If you have other children, you want them to be able to visit the
hospital to welcome your new baby. Mount Sinai & Miami Heart can fill all
these needs and many more. Our nursery has been completely remodeled and we
offer the latest monitoring equipment and services to mothers. For babies born
prematurely or with birth problems, there is the added safety of a high-risk
nursery with a neonatologist in charge. Just call
305-674-CARE.
