Managing multiple prescriptions is more complicated than most people realize β and more risky than most doctors have time to address. At Viva Medical Center in Doral, our Medication Guidance Service was built specifically to close that gap. Whether you're starting a new treatment, juggling several medications from different specialists, or simply want to understand what's actually in your medicine cabinet, our licensed providers give you a thorough, unhurried review designed to keep you safe and in control. All services are available in both English and Spanish β because understanding your medication shouldn't require a medical degree or a perfect command of English.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is medication management at a primary care clinic?
Medication management means your doctor monitors all of your prescriptions β checking for effectiveness, side effects, interactions between medications, and whether current doses are still appropriate. At Viva Medical Center, we review your full medication list at every visit to keep your care safe and coordinated.

Do you help with prior authorization for medications?
Yes. Our team assists with prior authorization requests for medications that require insurance approval. We submit clinical documentation to support approval as efficiently as possible.
