South Miami Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Larkin Community Hospital: 7031 SW 62nd Avenue

A private independent hospital with over 900 patient reviews and no sovereign immunity. Larkin operates a full ER, surgical suites, and orthopedic and rehabilitation services. The Larkin Outpatient Multi-Specialty Center occupies Suite 600 at 7000 SW 62nd Avenue directly across the street. We investigate ER misdiagnosis and triage failures, surgical negligence, orthopedic errors, and failures of communication between the hospital and the outpatient specialist practices at 7000. When a patient is discharged from Larkin’s ER and referred to a specialist in the building next door, both the hospital and the receiving physician may bear liability if the handoff fails.

The 7000 Building: Eight Specialist Practices Under One Roof

7000 SW 62nd Avenue is South Miami’s primary medical office tower. It houses OB/GYN practices in Suite 200 (Ob-Gyn Specialists of South Miami) and Suites 310 and 350 (South Miami Women’s Health), the Center for Urogynecology and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery with over 1,200 patient reviews, South Miami Neurology in Suite 300, Pulmonary Physicians of South Florida (1.0 star rating), sports medicine, and chiropractic. Each practice is independently sueable. When a neurologist in Suite 300 misses an early stroke diagnosis, or a pulmonologist with a 1.0 star rating fails to escalate a respiratory emergency, the individual physician and the practice entity are both defendants with no institutional buffer.

Baptist Health South Miami Hospital: 6200 SW 73rd Street

Nearly 5,900 reviews. The anchor hospital for the South Miami and Pinecrest communities. Baptist Health South Miami Hospital is a private non-profit handling ER emergencies, cardiac surgery, oncology, birth deliveries, and complex surgical procedures. The East Tower at 7401 SW 62nd Avenue houses specialty outpatient services and a Baptist Health infusion care unit where chemotherapy dosing errors and IV infusion complications occur. We investigate ER misdiagnosis, surgical negligence, cardiac care errors, birth injuries, post operative infections, and medication errors. Jury verdicts are uncapped.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists: 7300 SW 62nd Place

Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists of South Florida at 7300 SW 62nd Place manages the highest risk pregnancies in the area, with over 500 patient reviews. When a high risk pregnancy is mismanaged , failure to recognize preterm labor, fetal distress that goes unaddressed, improper delivery decisions in a patient with known complications , the resulting birth injury cases are among the highest value claims in Florida. We analyze fetal heart monitor strips and the electronic medical record to determine whether Category III tracings were ignored and whether the decision to incision time for an emergency cesarean section exceeded the critical 30 minute benchmark. The statute of limitations for birth injuries is tolled until the child’s eighth birthday, but evidence preservation must begin immediately.

Elective Surgical Errors: Center for Urogynecology at 7000 SW 62nd Avenue

The Center for Urogynecology and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery at 7000 SW 62nd Avenue has over 1,200 patient reviews and a 15 year patient relationship history confirmed in reviews. This practice performs minimally invasive hysterectomies and complex laparoscopic urogynecologic procedures on patients who enter the operating room in otherwise good health. We investigate unintended organ perforation, ureteral injury, bowel injury, bladder injury, and failure to recognize intraoperative complications before the patient is closed. When a healthy woman undergoes an elective hysterectomy and wakes up with a perforated bowel or a severed ureter requiring emergency corrective surgery, the gap between what was promised and what occurred becomes the center of the case. The surgeon and the practice entity at 7000 SW 62nd Avenue are both directly sueable private defendants.

Diagnostic Center of Miami: 6,670 Reviews and Counting

Diagnostic Center of Miami at 7500 SW 87th Avenue is the highest volume private imaging center in the South Miami area with over 6,600 patient reviews. It performs mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and CT studies. A missed cancer on a screening mammogram, a misread MRI that fails to identify a tumor or vascular abnormality, or a failure to communicate urgent findings to the ordering physician is a diagnostic failure that can delay treatment by months or years. We also investigate imaging errors at Baptist Health Diagnostic Imaging at 6200 SW 73rd Street and Larkin Imaging Centers at 6129 SW 70th Street, which carries a 2.8 star rating. The radiologist who misread the study and the corporate entity that employs them both bear liability.

IVF Malpractice: IVFMD at 7300 SW 62nd Place

IVFMD at 7300 SW 62nd Place is a private fertility clinic with over 330 patient reviews, located in the same South Miami Medical Square complex as the Maternal-Fetal Medicine practice. IVF malpractice is an emerging and emotionally devastating category of claims. We investigate embryo handling errors, laboratory contamination, incorrect embryo transfer, medication dosing errors during ovarian stimulation, and failure to properly monitor patients during the egg retrieval process. When a fertility clinic’s negligence destroys embryos or causes a failed cycle that should have succeeded, the damages include not only the financial cost of repeated treatments but the emotional harm of lost reproductive opportunity.

Cardiac Diagnostic Errors: MyCardiologist at 7330 SW 62nd Place

MyCardiologist at 7330 SW 62nd Place is a private cardiology practice in the same Medical Square corridor. We investigate cardiac diagnostic errors, failure to order timely stress tests or catheterization, misinterpretation of cardiac imaging, and delayed referral to intervention. When a South Miami patient presents with cardiac symptoms and is sent home without an adequate workup, and subsequently suffers a myocardial infarction or stroke, the EMR audit trail proves what was ordered, what was reviewed, and what was missed.

Why This Matters for South Miami Cases

Attorney Jorge L. Flores previously worked as an attorney for a leading insurance defense firm in Miami, where he defended hospitals and their insurers against medical malpractice claims. He knows how Larkin’s defense team will characterize your surgical complication as an “inherent risk.” He knows how Baptist Health’s counsel will argue that your pre-existing condition, not their provider’s conduct, produced the outcome. He knows the playbook because he helped write it. That experience now works for you. Every case we handle at a South Miami facility is built with the understanding of exactly how the other side will try to defeat it.
