The University of Miami Health System is expanding access to primary and specialty care in North Miami as eight physicians from Physicians Group of South Florida join UHealth.
Five primary care physicians will continue seeing patients at the practice’s existing location, which will become UHealth North Miami. Three gastroenterologists will transition their practices to UHealth SoLé Mia Medical Center, connecting patients with the comprehensive specialty care and resources available at UHealth’s newest outpatient medical center.
The physicians joining UHealth North Miami are Jane S. Cohen, M.D.; Martin Drost, M.D.; Leilany Irizarry-Colon, M.D.; Danny Abouekde, D.O..; and Jonathan Pomper, M.D.
Gastroenterologists David Cohen, M.D.; Arin Newman, M.D.; and Daniel Wolfson, M.D. will see patients at UHealth SoLé Mia in North Miami.
The practice has deep roots in the community, dating to its founding in Miami Beach in 1967. Its physicians have served patients in the North Miami area for approximately 20 years, including about 15 years at the current location.
For existing patients, the transition is designed to provide continuity with the physicians they know while expanding their connection to the broader UHealth system. As UHealth patients, they will have access to MyChart and a more integrated network of primary, specialty and subspecialty care.
The proximity of UHealth North Miami and UHealth SoLé Mia also creates opportunities for greater coordination among primary care physicians, gastroenterologists and other UHealth specialists, helping patients access more of their care close to home.
