Coral Gables Medical Malpractice Lawyers

4.8 stars. 3,694 reviews. The best rated hospital and ER in Miami-Dade County. Baptist Health Doctors Hospital at 5000 University Drive is a private non-profit renowned for orthopedic surgery, cardiac care, and complex surgical procedures. Hospital defense counsel will cite these ratings as evidence that the standard of care was met in your case. Aggregate ratings reflect thousands of uncomplicated visits. They do not reflect the standard of care delivered to an individual patient on an individual day. We investigate orthopedic surgical errors, cardiac negligence, ER diagnostic failures, post operative infections, and medication errors. Jury verdicts are uncapped.

Coral Gables Hospital and Kindred Hospital: Two More Private Defendants

Coral Gables Hospital at 3100 Douglas Road is a private facility operated by Prime Healthcare with over 1,000 patient reviews. We investigate ER misdiagnosis, surgical negligence, and psychiatric care errors including improper Baker Act proceedings. Kindred Hospital South Florida at 5190 SW 8th Street is a long term acute care hospital operated by LifePoint Health where ventilator dependent and immobile patients are transferred after ICU stays. We investigate ventilator weaning errors, pressure ulcer negligence, premature discharge, and hospital acquired infections. Both are private with no damage cap.

Four UM Facilities, One Campus, Zero Sovereign Immunity

The 5555 Ponce de Leon Boulevard campus houses four separate University of Miami medical facilities, all private, all uncapped. The Lennar Foundation Medical Center provides multi-specialty outpatient care. Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center on the third floor is an NCI designated oncology facility where we investigate chemotherapy dosing errors, radiation therapy errors, and delayed cancer diagnosis under the lost chance of survival doctrine. UHealth Coral Gables at 5550 Ponce de Leon carries a 2.5 star rating. The University of Miami Student Health Service treats students under the same standard of care that applies to every other patient in Florida. Sovereign immunity does not apply to any of them.

The One Capped Facility: UHealth Jackson Urgent Care on SW 8th Street

UHealth Jackson Urgent Care at 3737 SW 8th Street is the only government entity in Coral Gables. It is part of the Jackson Health System and subject to sovereign immunity under § 768.28, which currently caps damages at $200,000 per claimant and $300,000 per incident. HB 145 (2026), awaiting the Governor’s signature, would raise these to $350,000 and $500,000. Do not confuse this facility with the private UHealth practices on Ponce de Leon, which are University of Miami entities with no cap.

Colonoscopy Perforation and Missed Cancer: Digestive Medicine Associates on Ponce

Digestive Medicine Associates at 3133 Ponce de Leon Boulevard is a private gastroenterology practice performing colonoscopies, endoscopies, and cancer screening procedures for the Coral Gables community. We investigate colonoscopy perforation, failure to diagnose colon cancer on screening colonoscopy, endoscopy complications, and delayed follow up on abnormal pathology results. When a gastroenterologist perforates the bowel during a routine screening procedure, the patient may not realize the severity for hours or days. The procedure report and EMR audit trail prove whether the complication was recognized and addressed in real time.

Nursing Home Negligence: Three Private Facilities Serving Coral Gables Seniors

Riviera Health Resort at 6901 Yumuri Street (452 reviews), West Gables Health Care Center at 2525 SW 75th Avenue (416 reviews, with in-house dialysis), and Coral Gables Nursing and Rehabilitation at 7060 SW 8th Street are all private facilities with no damage cap. Coral Gables has an older affluent population, and the standard of care expected at these facilities reflects that community. Falls, pressure ulcers, medication errors, elopement, malnutrition, and wrongful death are subject to both medical malpractice and nursing home negligence theories under Florida law. When a facility accepts a resident and fails to provide adequate staffing, the gap between what was promised and what was delivered becomes a powerful element of the case at trial.

Surgical Eye Errors: Aran Eye Associates on Le Jeune Road

Aran Eye Associates at 1097 South Le Jeune Road is the highest volume eye care practice in Coral Gables with over 1,000 patient reviews, performing cataract surgery, retinal procedures, and LASIK. We investigate surgical eye errors, retinal detachment mismanagement, LASIK complications, and failure to diagnose glaucoma or macular degeneration. Unlike the university affiliated Bascom Palmer in Brickell, Aran is a private independent practice where the operating surgeon and the practice entity are both directly sueable defendants with no institutional buffer.

Diagnostic Imaging and Primary Care Errors on Giralda and Ponce

Baptist Health Diagnostic Imaging at 10 Giralda Avenue has over 3,000 patient reviews, making it the highest volume imaging center in Coral Gables. ADC Ambulatory Diagnostic Center at 747 Ponce de Leon Boulevard handles over 500 reviews worth of radiology volume. Mount Sinai Primary and Specialty Care at 836 Ponce de Leon carries a 3.6 star rating. When a Mount Sinai physician fails to order follow up imaging after an abnormal finding from the Baptist imaging center on Giralda, that is a system failure across two private defendants.

The Best Rating in the County Does Not Mean the Best Care on Your Day.

Doctors Hospital is 4.8 stars. UHealth Coral Gables is 2.5 stars. Kindred treats ventilator patients. Three nursing homes serve seniors. Every one is private and uncapped.
