Doctors Hospital

Right next to the University of Miami is Doctors Hospital. It is a 281-bed acute care facility that has provided high-quality medical care since 1949. Doctors Hospital is recognized for its services in orthopedics, neurosurgery, sports medicine, general surgery, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and women's health. Its nationally recognized Sports Medicine program serves professional sport teams such as the Florida Marlins (baseball,) and the Miami Heat (basketball,) as well as collegiate teams from the University of Miami and Florida International University. The Miami neuroscience team at Doctors Hospital developed the first Gamma Knife program in the state of Florida. Since 1993, it has been a leader in neurological patient care serving patients from the United States and abroad. This is its emergency entrance, across from the School of Communications of UM.
