Miracle Leaf® South Beach Medical Marijuana Doctors

If South Beach is your part of the island, you know the western edge of it feels a world apart from Ocean Drive: Alton Rd running quiet and steady, the Sunset Harbour blocks just up the way, the Venetian Causeway carrying you back to the mainland. Miracle Leaf® South Beach sits right in it at 1743 Alton Rd, so neighbors on this side of the beach have a certification office close to home. We're a doctor's office for your Florida medical marijuana certification, not a retail storefront where cannabis is sold. If you qualify, there are dispensaries a short walk down Alton.

What we do here

One of our physicians sits down with you, reviews your medical history, and decides whether your condition is recognized under Florida law. If it is, the doctor records a certification in the state registry, which is the step that makes you eligible to register with the state. The office itself does not dispense or sell any cannabis product.

We see new patients and renewals both. We're happy to walk you through how the Florida program works, what documentation the state asks for, and what to expect from the evaluation, all in a private setting just off the Venetian Causeway approach.

What to bring to your visit

Bring a valid Florida photo ID or other proof of a Florida address, along with any records that document your condition. If you only spend part of the year on the island, bring proof of your temporary Florida address too, since the registry checks residency before it approves you. Alton Rd is one of the busier corridors on the beach, so leave extra time to park. Metered street spots, nearby garages, and the Miami Beach trolley all serve the Sunset Harbour stretch where we are.

A clinic, not a treatment center

Under Fla. Stat. 381.986, Florida keeps the medical certification and the retail purchase as two separate licensed steps. We handle the certification. You buy the product afterward at a state-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center, a separate business, once the state approves your registration, and the nearest ones are a short walk south on Alton.

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.
