Hialeah residents reach our Doral clinic in 15 minutes via the Palmetto Expressway. We are a strong bilingual primary care option for Hialeah families and seniors on Medicare Advantage. Type 2 diabetes (ICD-10 E11) is a chronic metabolic condition where blood glucose stays elevated because the body does not use insulin effectively. Per the American Diabetes Association 2024 Standards of Care, diagnosis is made with an A1C ≥ 6.5%, a fasting plasma glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL, a 2-hour OGTT ≥ 200 mg/dL, or a random glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL with symptoms. Pre-diabetes — A1C 5.7-6.4% or fasting glucose 100-125 — is the window where progression can still be reversed. 38.4 million Americans (11.6%) have diabetes, 8.7 million of them are undiagnosed, and Hispanic adults carry a 17% prevalence (CDC 2024), which makes Doral and Miami-Dade unusually relevant. Patients from neighborhoods like Hialeah Gardens, West Hialeah, Palm Springs reach our Doral clinic in about 15 minutes — close to landmarks including Westland Mall and Hialeah Park.

What is diabetes & pre-diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes (ICD-10 E11) is a chronic metabolic condition where blood glucose stays elevated because the body does not use insulin effectively.

How long does treatment last?

It depends on the condition and how you respond. Many patients see meaningful improvement within 4-8 weeks; chronic conditions may require ongoing management. We set clear expectations at the first visit.

Are same-day appointments available?

Yes — subject to scheduling. Call (305) 209-0001 or book online to confirm.

Can I continue care by telehealth?

Yes, for most follow-ups. The first visit is usually in-person for a complete exam; medication adjustments and lab reviews work well by telehealth.
