Single-physician Miami practice combining image-guided spinal injections, sports medicine and platelet and cell-based injections, with long appointment times and telehealth.
Miami Spine & Sports Doctor is a small private practice in Miami, Florida, run by Dr Alicia R. Carter. The focus is interventional spine care, meaning injections and procedures guided by imaging rather than open surgery, together with sports medicine and non-surgical orthopaedics. Diagnostic ultrasound and fluoroscopy (live X-ray) are available in the office, so assessment and treatment can happen at the same visit.
Regenerative treatments listed are platelet rich plasma (PRP), which is prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood, and what the site describes as stem cell-based therapies. The site does not state where the stem cells come from, whether they are taken from the patient or from donated tissue, or how they are processed. If you are considering a cell-based treatment here, that is the first question to ask. PRP is also offered for hair loss and for facial rejuvenation, which are cosmetic rather than orthopaedic uses.
The practice makes a point of its consultation format rather than its volume: the site states that initial appointments are one hour and follow-ups thirty minutes, with patients able to contact the doctor directly by phone, email and text. Telehealth appointments are offered to residents of Florida and New York. The site also offers orthopaedic second opinions, and mentions work with performing artists and dancers.
The site advertises stem cell-based therapy but does not say where the cells come from.
The practice is at 4770 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 1100, Miami, Florida 33137. Diagnostic ultrasound and fluoroscopy are available on site. The site states that patients come from across the United States and from abroad, but describes no formal international patient service such as travel or interpreting help. No languages are named and no year of establishment is given.
No prices and no consultation fee are published on the website. Cell-based and PRP injections are generally paid for privately in the United States, so ask for a written quote before booking.
