WHY CHOOSE PALM PRIMARY CARE – LITTLE HAVANA

What Sets Our Senior Primary Care in Little Havana Apart

We believe senior healthcare should be personal, accessible, and centered around the patient’s long-term well-being. Our approach goes beyond treating symptoms—we focus on building lasting relationships with our patients and supporting them through every stage of their health journey.

Unlike traditional clinics where care can feel rushed or fragmented, our model is designed specifically for seniors who need consistent support and coordinated treatment. From preventive screenings to chronic condition management, everything is structured to make healthcare simpler, more efficient, and more comfortable.

Patients choose our Little Havana center because we offer personalized care plans tailored to each patient’s health history and lifestyle, easy access to appointments, including same-week availability when possible, preventive health services designed to detect issues early and reduce complications, a senior-focused care model that emphasizes long-term wellness over short-term treatment, and coordinated services that bring multiple aspects of care together in one place.

Our goal is to make healthcare feel less overwhelming and more supportive, especially for seniors managing ongoing conditions.

I just wish I could quit forgetting my blood work appointment, but other than that everything is fine. I have been getting great care from Dr. Renan and the office staff is excellent.

The staff greets me with a smile and by name. There's never a long wait, and Dr. Min is the PC that I have ever had. 15 yrs and counting!

I am very happy to be a Patient at Dr Aristides Martinez Office, my appointment yesterday with Andrea was far above expected, she dedicated about one hour to talk with me about all my pains and my concerns. It was like if I would've been with a Psychologist, I came out of her office with all my questions answered and sure that I am in very good hands. I thanks God that I started coming to this Clinic.

I love Ms. Patel and the girls in the office. I rarely have to wait long. I have been going to this office since it was JayCare in 2015. I have never had a problem with any of the doctors or PAs that I have seen. Ms. Patel actually takes time with me and listens to my concerns. I already recommend her to everyone I know.

Since moving to Florida three years ago I’ve seen many doctors and just didn’t have a good feeling. Once I walked into Dr Shah’s office from the front desk staff to the doctor himself was a wonderful experience. You are always given their undivided attention and Dr. Shah is Very thorough in his exams. I give 5 stars to this office

Dr Latt and his staff are AMAZING. Dr Latt takes his time to listen to you and explain everything In detail! The lobby looks amazing, made my heart feel the Spirit of Christmas. My mom was diagnosed with liver failure on Christmas Day and passed 10 days later, 2 years ago and I have really struggled to feel the spirit of Christmas since then. The minute I opened the door and walked into the building pure joy flooded my soul. Thanks to the Staff at Palm Medical for the Amazing Holiday Scene May God Bless you and your families always.
