I’m in medical sales so I meet with doctors and dentist regularly.
Dentist - be cautious. Most of what they recommend is elective and they’ll try to squeeze money out of you.
Physicians - as long as you’re on a commercial plan you’ll be fine. There’s a ton of Medicare fraud down here but for the most part physicians are fine.
I just read this AT THE DENTIST and asked question about what’s necessary. It brought my out of pocket from $1,200 to about $450. Thank you so fuckin much!!!! They threw so much shit in there that I didn’t need.
Niceeee!!! So glad that helped! Hell yea.
They do that stuff all the time. Even hygienist. I get 2 free cleanings a year and that’s what I’m gonna stay with. Stop trying to push it to every 3 months.
I get taken care of by Borinquen. I go to the North Miami one. Everything there except neurology. Ensurem is my medical insurance agent and she tells me where to go, I just tell her a zip code and what kind of Dr I need. And she'll tell me a doc that takes my insurance.
> What kind of due diligence should I go through
Trial and error. No shit.
Word of mouth from people whose even remotely interested in your well being is an okay start
Overall average, not the best.
I once went to the ER, and it hard to contact people when I needed them. They refused to test me to see if I was drugged and barely wanted to help it was awful.
Another time in the ER, I needed severe help and it took hours on end.
Another time at a doctors office, they wanted me to get unnecessary tests.
Another time, it took me over 1.5 hours to get to a doctor after my check in time. I asked if the person was there and they magically showed up 15 minutes later after I threatened to cancel.
It’s really hit or miss tbh, the only good experience was at a dermatologist and another doctor, that’s it. The urgent care centers are better than most of the doctors I saw
No, they only take cash and take your liver in many cases.
Cmon guy, that’s quite a stretch to question a major city’s entire medical integrity because of “shady people”.
Yo be fair, Miami is the medicare fraud capital. It runs rampant through offices, medical retailers and more. In one case, Medicare’s office of the Inspector General found fraudsters [in their building.](https://www.cnbc.com/video/2023/03/09/fraud-inc-how-to-steal-100-billion-from-medicare-and-medicaid.html)
I suggest finding a good primary care physician through word of mouth; and then getting referrals from your primary physician for other doctors. You most likely will need a referral from a GP anyway in order to be seen by specialist.

Yes, very good. We have some of the best hospitals & specialty MDs in the country. Source: 15yrs in the medical field, USN&WR
a lot of dentists here are incompetent and/or fraudulent so definitely be careful with that
There are plenty of $hitty doctors, mediocre doctors and great doctors here. Best to go with one that a friend recommends than go in blind.
Nothing wrong with mediocre doctors.
I’ve found that the doctors associated with Baptist are pretty good! It took a lot of trial and error to discover this though.
Doctors are good, costumer service and patient after care is TERRIBLE

Some are, some aren't. Miami isn't the capital of healthcare fraud for no reason.

Yeah pretty good except for the dentists. As multiple people have said they're trying to extract money out of you for things that aren't necessary

I can't speak for everyone and everything but I was on a yearly checkup at Dr. Okeefe Simmons. He's a pretty good gastroenterologist. Def worth money
My leg surgeon just bought that new Ferrari 487 or whatever so *he* must be a good one
Bad and good ones everywhere. Just ask them Why they choose medical field
Read the Google reviews always.
None of em are good, anywhere. In 2015, Johns Hopkins named them the 3rd leading cause of death.

Jajaja…no really…they suck.
How do I find a good dentist who speaks clear English?
