Many of our patients live or work in Coral Gables, and the most common questions before a first visit are practical ones: how far is it, how long does the appointment take, and what actually happens in the room. This article answers those questions, so you know what to expect before you arrive.<\/p>\n\n
Splendor Regenerative Medicine is at 11890 SW 8th Street, Suite 301, Miami, FL 33184. From Coral Gables the route is straightforward: head west on SW 8th Street, also known as Calle Ocho or the Tamiami Trail, and continue past the Palmetto Expressway. Depending on where you start in the Gables and the time of day, the drive usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes. Mid morning and early afternoon appointments tend to avoid the heaviest traffic on the Trail.<\/p>\n\n
Patients coming from nearby areas such as Westchester, Kendall, Doral and Sweetwater follow similar routes, and many combine the visit with errands on the west side.<\/p>\n\n
You can request an appointment through our online booking page<\/a> or by calling (786) 254-7195. It helps to mention what brings you in, such as joint pain, hair thinning, skin concerns, weight management or hormonal symptoms, so the visit can be organized around it. If you have recent blood tests, imaging or a list of current medications, bring them or have them available.<\/p>\n\n The first appointment is a consultation, not a sales presentation. It usually follows a simple structure:<\/p>\n\n Dr. Ernesto Diaz, a physician with more than three decades of clinical practice in the United States, leads the assessment himself. Consultations can be held in English or Spanish.<\/p>\n\n Sometimes. Treatments such as Botox<\/a> or PRP<\/a> can often be done at the first visit when the assessment supports it and you are ready. Hormonal treatments and medical weight loss programs usually begin after bloodwork is reviewed. Fillers and skin procedures may be scheduled for a second visit so you can plan around any swelling or redness.<\/p>\n\n Patients from Coral Gables come to us for a wide range of goals: regenerative treatments for joint and tendon pain, hair restoration, aesthetic treatments such as microneedling, dermal fillers and Botox, hormonal therapy, and medical weight loss. You can see the full list on our treatments<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n For aesthetic treatments, arriving without makeup saves time. For injections, avoiding alcohol and blood thinning supplements for a day or two beforehand reduces bruising, unless a physician has told you otherwise. And if you are unsure whether a treatment is right for you, that is exactly what the first visit is for.<\/p>\n\n To learn more about the clinic and Dr. Diaz, visit our about page<\/a>. When you are ready, book a consultation<\/a> and we will see you on Calle Ocho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many of our patients live or work in Coral Gables, and the most common questions before a first visit are practical ones: how far is it, how long does the appointment take, and what actually happens in the room.
