Jacksonville certification clinic
Miracle Leaf® San Marco Medical Marijuana Doctors
We are the neighborhood certification office on Hendricks Ave, right in the heart of San Marco near the old lion-fountain square. We see neighbors from San Marco, San Jose, and the Southbank for the Florida medical marijuana evaluation and walk you through the state registry one step at a time. We are a doctor's office, not a dispensary.

About this clinic
About Miracle Leaf® Jacksonville
San Marco is one of Jacksonville's oldest planned neighborhoods, laid out in the 1920s on the south bank of the St. Johns River around the landmark lion-fountain square and its tree-lined streets. We put our Miracle Leaf® office on Hendricks Ave, the district's main north-south street, so we sit within easy reach of San Marco Square, the San Jose corridor, and the broader Southbank. Neighbors come to us for the physician evaluation for the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry. We do not sell any cannabis here.
Rooted in the Southbank neighborhoods
Hendricks Ave runs from the riverfront down through San Marco into the San Jose neighborhoods, paralleling Philips Hwy and feeding the I-95 ramps that connect the south bank to the rest of Duval County. That keeps us handy for the historic blocks of San Marco, the older San Jose estates, and the southside neighborhoods along the river's south shore. Jacksonville is a deep military town, with Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport nearby and one of the largest veteran populations in the state, so we see a lot of veterans and we are glad to serve them close to home.
What your visit involves
When you come in, one of our physicians reviews your medical history and decides whether your condition is recognized under Florida law. If it qualifies, that gets recorded as a certification in the state registry, which is what clears you to complete your own state registration. We serve both new patients and folks coming back for their yearly renewal.
What to bring
Bring a Florida photo ID or other proof of a Florida address, plus records that document your condition. If you live in the Jacksonville area only part of the year, bring current proof of a Florida address too, since the registry will not approve an application without confirmed residency. Give us a call first if you are not sure what counts and we will tell you exactly what to bring.
A clinic, not a dispensary
Under Fla. Stat. 381.986, certification by a physician must come before any purchase, and certification is the only step we handle. You buy the product afterward from a state-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center, a separate licensed business, once the state approves your registration. There is a dispensary right beside us on Hendricks if you qualify, but the law keeps it separate from the office that certifies you.
State physician registry verification
The Florida Department of Health Office of Medical Marijuana Use maintains a public registry of qualified physicians. Before your visit, look up your certifying physician through the OMMU qualified physician search. Access date: 2026-06-01.

Plan your visit
Preparing for Your Appointment
What to bring
- Government-issued photo ID showing your state residency (driver’s license, passport, or state ID).
- Medical records documenting your qualifying condition. Recent diagnosis notes, treatment records, imaging reports, or prescriptions all help the physician confirm eligibility.
- List of current medications including supplements and over-the-counter treatments.
Before you arrive
- Plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to complete intake paperwork.
- Wear comfortable clothing. The visit involves a routine medical conversation, not a physical procedure.
- Bring payment for the evaluation fee. The clinic accepts most major payment methods. State program fees are paid separately to the state.
During the visit
A licensed physician reviews your records, discusses your symptoms, and determines whether you meet a qualifying condition. The physician evaluation itself takes about 15 minutes. If you qualify, the physician completes the certification step required by your state program.
After the visit
Miracle Leaf® specializes in guiding patients through each step of the process during and after the appointment. Miracle Leaf® has over 8 years of experience working with the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR).
Approved patients receive instructions for state registration. You purchase products separately from a state-licensed treatment center. Miracle Leaf® clinics do not dispense or sell cannabis products.

Tonja HolmesThis is the best place. I honestly always forget to renew everything and they call me ahead of time and remind me, as well as doing what they can to expedite the process. I had to quickly rearrange my appointment slot and vernita was extremely helpful and courteous. Every interaction so far has been nothing but positive. Would recommend 100%.
