If you are looking for a doctor in Miami, look no further. Dr. Shaffer is without a doubt the best…read moregeneral doctor in all of Miami-Dade. I've been seeing her for three years and now that I'm leaving Miami, I'm kind of traumatized thinking about having to find a doctor as good as Dr. Shaffer again! Dr. Shaffer is associated with Baptist and you can communicate with her office using Baptist's online portal as well as see all of your exam summaries and lab results. She was covered under my United Healthcare Insurance, and luckily still in-network when I switched to Cigna. She shares the office with one or two other doctors who I believe are both "concierge doctors" so needless to say the office is beautiful and spotless. They can do EKGs and x-rays in office, as well as all of your blood work right then and there. I've seen her for everything from yearly physicals and strep throat to more complicated issues. She is so kind and intelligent. I have never once felt any bit uncomfortable or awkward when talking to her. Her office staff is wonderful too, particularly Courtney, and many times I've been able to get an appointment same day. Her office is located off of Lincoln Road, but there is a huge parking garage right next door with very reasonable rates. I think at most I have ever paid $8 and that was for a fairly long physical with labs, followed by a stop at Shake Shack across the street (because what else do you do after getting a physical?) As far as any negatives, the wait time can at times be a bit long, but since the service is so good I really don't mind. They're usually good about submitting prescription refills as well, I've only had to call them once or twice to follow-up on a refill. Her old assistant, Minerva I believe, used to be a bit scattered, but her new one Courtney is totally on top of everything.

I came to see one of the MDs in the group, Dr. Cindy Shaffer, a primary care physician affiliated with Baptist Health. I had pleasant interactions with the entire medical staff. Also, this office is enormous, modern and equipped with state of the art diagnostics like ultrasound, x-ray, and they even do EKG and lab testing in office which is a HUGE time saver. The phlebotomist drawing my labs did a great job. The only drawback is finding parking near lincoln rd. so give yourself extra time.

He gave me good information for the future and what I needed to look out for. I appreciated his thourghness and time. I would highly recommend him to others who have any gastroenterology problems.

Disgraceful. I am a…read morelong-term pain patient. They made me wait all month for my appointment and for me to come in, which is physically difficult to do on its own, to tell me they won't accept me as a patient. Now, days before my prescription expires, I have to scramble back to my referring doctor to renew my prescription. All the nurse practitioner offered me is suboxone for when I will inevitably go through withdrawal due to their carelessness. My previous pain management doctor has been transitioning all of his opiate clients out of his practice and referred me specifically to Dr. Kamlet because this is his speciality. I assumed there would be little issue. It's a real slap in the face, on top of already having come in last month to receive ketamine treatment for my back-pain and being turned away due to their practice not using ketamine to treat back-pain, which I explicitly explained to the receptionist that I would come in for over the phone. Traversing the ever-changing field of medical care regarding opioid pain medication is hard enough and painful enough without falling victim to this kind of careless and abusive mismanagement.

When I confronted them, their owner and CEO, Reanna Ramkhelawan argued vehemently that the charge was justified based on what I said to the nurse practitioner which she called the doctor.

Beware of the trickeries that this corporate owner without any health degree and driven by profit will pull on you to extract as much money as she can. I don't trust this unethical practice and will not come back.

I love Dr. Gold-Schein and her staff! This is an office of all women and which as a woman, I truly…read morelove. As a person who has always had premium insurance coverage, I've never been mandated to have a Primary Care Physician or have a referral from one so I've just rotated through my list of specialists thinking I was getting the best medical care. After seeing Dr. Gold-Schein, I wonder what took me so long to finally get a PCP (Primary Care Physician), because having a great PCP in today's medical society is the key to longevity in life! Having a truly caring, educated, thorough PCP who can communicate effectively is the keystone in today's medical world because your PCP is basically your personal medical manager and I could not have a better person on my team than Dr. Gold-Schein! Now that I'm in my 30's, establishing a relationship with a PCP is a MUST since "everything goes downhill from here". Sadly, in today's medical world, most physicians (especially the specialists) tend to disregard your other physicians' notes, medical records, and then make these myopic diagnosis, prognosis, and write prescriptions based on their interactions with you in which had some of them taken the time to actually read your chart and history, would've prescribed something else since whatever they prescribed you actually cannot be taken with something else you are currently taking, and this is exactly why you MUST have an incredible PCP to manage all of these myopic docs out there. If you have an incredible PCP like myself, Dr. Gold-Schein, you would be able to experience how fantastic it is have a doctor catch the mistakes of the myopic specialists and make changes to your prognosis so that you are on the right plan customized to you in order to have a long and healthy life. Dr. Gold-Schein is part of the Mt. Sinai Medical Center network and which as a Miami Beach resident I love! God forbid something were to ever happen to me, the hospital I would be taken to is Mt. Sinai Medical Center (MSMC), and since I'm a patient in the MSMC network, not only is my chart available to all physicians in the MSMC network including the ER, but my PCP, Dr. Gold-Schein not only has hospital rights there to make decisions on my behalf but is a very well respected physician by others at MSMC. Another fantastic perk to Dr. Gold-Schein being apart of the MSMC network is that if you need additional testing, CT, X-ray, etc...You just walk downstairs and admit yourself to MSMC and have your tests done immediately instead of having to get them done at a third party outpatient facility a few days or weeks later. Also, because she is in the MSMC network she will have your results back in HOURS and same day which is incredible. No more waiting and no second appointments at a later date. This medical perk is priceless as I like to be as efficient as possible with medical issues. I do love Dr. Gold-Schein's straightforwardness which is not for everyone. She is very caring but not overly coddling which I also love about her as I am and adult, but again, that personality type in a PCP is not for everyone, some people need to be overly coddled. I also do like how thorough she is and will send you to specialists as she sees fit and then have you come back in after to make sure you did your homework and are staying on track. That is a sign of an excellent PCP and that is Dr. Gold-Schein. I also like how she is very comprehensive with your health and how she is a huge supporter of optimal mental health and work/life balance. Lizzie at the front desk of this office is wonderful and very easy to schedule appointments with. She will also call you and remind you about your appointments. She will also still give you and old school appointment card to keep in your wallet. The nurse/phlebotomist here is the best! She is very kind and courteous and fantastic at drawing blood effectively and efficiently. They even have a butterfly needle if you should request one to make you more comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Gold-Schein and her office and if you were to be her patient, you would be so lucky to know that you have one of the best PCP's out there managing your path to living long and prospering. Best of the best.

I've worked in health care for a while, now, so I know when I'm being taken advantage of by a…read moredoctor. I have a prescription that I needed renewed but Dr. Gold Schein won't renew it unless I see her every 6 months, which is completely unnecessary for a healthy young adult. She lied to my face and told me that it was because it is a controlled med, which it is not. And I know it's not because I'm in health care, myself, but I just sucked it up and didn't fight her about it because I needed the refill. On top of that, she charges the visit as a follow-up rather than a wellness check because she can bill more for that and also collect a copay from me. Then we get to the extras. She tries to force a full set of labs and an ekg on me every time. And it's not just me, I've heard them talking to every single person in the waiting room about paying for their labs today. Every 6 months. Not necessary for a healthy 30year old. And on top of that I wait 45 minutes past my appointment time to even be brought back to the exam room. Which means I'm paying even more for parking by the time I leave. Oh and then there was the time she refused to give me a summary of care even though it's a government requirement. She also left my exam room door open the last time I was in the office which allowed me to hear her office staff obtaining at least 3 different authorizations for CTs while I was there. That is unusual in my opinion, and also, a violation of HIPPA since I heard it.

This place is unprofessional and very upsetting. I wish I could give it no stars - yes it was/is…read morethat bad! I am new to Miami Beach and am part of a military household. My husband has served the U.S. Navy for over 14 years, through four deployments including time in Iraq and Afghanistan. I share this because we have tri-care which is the military healthcare system and because I have had both private and government healthcare and none of them have been as bad as this place. I called to schedule an initial visit with Dr. Georgi Miller MD. The receptionist asked me why I needed to see the Doctor. I said I was a new patient and that I wanted to discuss my current healthcare needs. The receptionist acted like I was crazy and asked me exactly what my concerns were - really??? Am I suppose to tell a receptionist all my health needs over the phone? Against my better judgement I vaguely described why I needed to see the Doc. She abruptly put me on hold and then came back on and said, yes, I could see the Doctor (well thanks!). This conversation was so painful I had to stop the girl and ask her if she was seriously talking to me in that tone and manner. Yup, she was. My appointment was actually pretty good. The office was clean and neat, although the patient files were all over the receptionists office and the girls at the desk looked overwhelmed and sad. I saw Dr. Georgi Miller MD pretty quickly. She was professional and kind. She listened to my concerns and asked lots of questions. We both knew I needed to see a specialist and she said that the front desk would see who could see me and contact me with a referral. Perfect! I left that day feeling like things were going to be fine. I did not hear back from the office so I called 7 days later. The first person who answered the phone asked me why I was calling. I explained the whole situation and she put me on hold...for 8 minutes. I called back and a different girl said that they had up to two weeks to contact me with a referral. So, I called back today, 19 days later and they still did not have any information for me. I asked if I could speak with Dr. Miller and the girl took my name and number and said she would have the Dr. call me back. I have heard nothing. I write this because I want to share my experience. Had it been only one instance I would not post this online for everyone to read but it was numerous occasions and this deals with my health. I thought others should know what they are getting themselves into if they go to these offices. Dr. Miller was great when I saw her but follow-up and follow-through, as well as care in treatment, are more important than just a single positive office visit. All my visits to the Doctor need to be positive because sometimes the news is not.
