About Pamela Merino, MD

I am dedicated to partnering with my patients as they work to achieve optimal wellness through a lifestyle-first approach. At my MDVIP-affiliated practice, Merino Medical & Wellness, I can serve as both your physician and mentor, sharing my personal journey of embracing a whole-food, plant-based Mediterranean diet and exercise that includes cycling and Pilates to set an example.

Since first launching my independent practice in October, 2006 in Coral Gables, Florida, I have served the communities of South Miami, Pinecrest, Key Biscayne and Palmetto Bay, as well as international patients. I hold certifications in internal medicine, lifestyle medicine and obesity medicine, which allow me to utilize evidence-based therapeutic interventions to help you address chronic conditions and promote long-term health.

Why Choose My Practice?

•    A Personal Foundation: I believe the patient-doctor relationship is the cornerstone of health. As your primary care physician, I can support you with longitudinal care that evolves with you throughout your life.
•    Personalized Care: My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
•    Conveniences: Enjoy the convenience of same-day or next-day appointments with minimal waiting.
•    Bilingual Care: My office is bilingual in English and Spanish to better assist our diverse community.

I am affiliated with multiple hospitals, including Baptist Health South Florida, so I may advocate for your care when needed.

Let's partner together for your health. I strive to support and guide you as you pursue being your absolute best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
