Miami Beach Community Health Center

This is one of those rare instances where zero stars would be too generous.
I’ll keep this short and sweet, because I’ve already wasted WAY TOO MUCH of my day on this place.
I came here as a last resort because it was the only office on my insurance with an immediate appointment available. Unfortunately to the doctors and staff at Miami Beach Community Health Center, appointments are just a light suggestion.
I sat with the nurse while he asked me a series of ridiculous questions, which included, «Have you ever had sex with a male that has slept with another male?» I’m sorry, but why is this relevant to my impending sinus infection?
Moving on.
After 15 minutes of useless consultation time with the nurse, he then sent me back into the waiting area and advised that the doctor would see me shortly. I waited 30 minutes…45 minutes… an hour… two hours. All while sick kids littered the waiting area, releasing their germs into the shared space. It was honestly disgusting and the vibe was reminiscent of this nation’s most vile DMV’s.
I finally approached the nurse after waiting way too long and he advised me that there were STILL 4 patients ahead of me… would be at least another 90 minutes.
At that point, I decided that I would rather be sick than wait another minute at this zoo. If you have insurance, pick somewhere else… literally ANYWHERE else. This was one of the worst experiences of my life.

This is the worst place ever !!! Now i’m trying to get my records so i can see another doctor ! It’s been 10 days since i requested the record, i just called to ask what happenned because the new Doctor did not get anything, and they transfered my call 3 times ! Nobody has an answer ! Nobody knows nothing, nobody wants to take responsbility for any situation ! They do not care !!! The waiting time is absolutley ridiculous! If you have questions, no one can help ! There’s no communication at all! Never get an answer on the phone, they just transfer you to voicemails !!! It’s just HORRIBLE!!! Now i’m going to have to go tomorrow in person to see if they do something about my records because i don’t want to keep going there for my pregnancy check

Exactly what health care should not be — mechanical, depersonalized and with no redeeming benefits
They do not know how to measure my height (4 inches too short — (how did they do that?); do not know how to measure BMI; gave wrong prescription and refused to modify; made irrelevant and unneeded medical referrals far from any realistic distance; the most poorly managed screwed up business anywhere ever.
Everything medicine should not be — even Walmarts has a better personal human touch

Zero star rating intended but not possible on Unilocal.Good doctor & some very nice individual staff members but unconscionable wait times & inefficient front office process; right hand doesn’t know (or seem to care) what left is doing to the possible detriment of patient health. If you have an option for treatment elsewhere, run do not walk there.

Choose another place if you have options

This place was recommended to me by the insurance… I really don’t know where to star… Smells horrible, the waiting is crazy, the doctors are not reliable… I’m 7 months pregnant and even though I tried to give them a chance… It was the worse mistake ever! If you have insurance go somewhere else!

Worst place ever. I made an appointment in January for mid February. When I showed up, they told me they had the appointment for March which is just not true. They must have made a mistake because I called and double checked. The receptionist told me I could wait for a walk-​in if I wanted to stay, and when I asked how long it would be, she just laughed and said, «a loooooooong time.»
In addition, parking at this location is abominable. There are so few spaces that people keep driving in circles waiting for one spot to open up. But since they keep patients waiting for so long that spots never open up!
I finally left without waiting for a walk-​in and will go somewhere else. Good riddance.

Came here cause insurance recommended it for our area. Wait was long but besides that no complaints. Can’t expect to be in and out with 100 people waiting. I would say not great but not bad.

This place is horrible. Pregnant woman waiting for like 3,5 hours for just follow up appointment. They also speak spanish all the time. Stuff is not polite at all.

Seriously, this is the worst doctor’s office I have ever had the displeasure of visiting. My boyfriend sees a doctor here and the previous review was spot on.
The waiting room has only 12 chairs, usually occupied by non patients waiting endlessly for people. My boyfriend’s appointment today was at 1:30pm. It is now 3:51pm and they just called him in and refused me from entering with him despite the fact that I am also a caretaker for him and need to know this information too. Can’t even ask questions if I wanted to.
The receptionists are the worst. They don’t provide any info if you ask, barely speak English, and spend too much time on personal calls. Right now they are playing arts and crafts with a Miami Heat poster. Amazing nonsense. I have no idea how much longer I am going to be here but we definitely need to find a new doctor not in this pit of hell.

You’re probably going here if you don’t have insurance and can’t afford any other place but nevertheless this place still sucks.
1. An appointment is pointless– they still made me wait 2 hours after my appt. time to be seen, when I checked about 40 minutes in and told the woman I had been waiting 40 min, she said «yeah thats’ typical»… seriouslY? why even have appointments? The person with an appointment next to me waited 2 hours and then walked out.
2. The person who checks your blood pressure, height, eye sight, weight etc… is Definitely NOT medically trained– I’m 5’9″ and she put my height as 61 inches… she also did my vision incorrectly and the doctor had to correct her, she recorded my temperature but never actually took it, forgot to measure my blood pressure, came into the room multiple times without knocking to tell the doctor something or do something she forgot to do.
3. The doctor. all she had to do was fill out a form for my beginning of school physical exam and yet she was complaining that there were extra things on the form that «normally aren’t done in a physical» such as check my ears and my vision… when I asked if that cost extra she said no… umm so why are you telling me? I dont give a crap just do it. Do whatever’s on the form and nothing more, I don’t care about your definition of a physical or if all my answers are in your database.
Never, ever again. I’m really sorry if you have to go here.
