Finding us
We are at 1400 NW 10th Ave, Suite 103, at the corner of NW 14th St, with free parking on site. The free City of Miami Health District trolley stops on NW 10th Ave, our own street, and the UHealth-Jackson Metrorail station is about a third of a mile away.
The Rubell Museum is under a mile north, and loanDepot Park is about a mile and a half south.
The neighborhood we work in
Allapattah is the largest working industrial district in the city, and that shapes who walks through our door. The produce district runs from NW 10th Ave west to NW 17th Ave between NW 20th and 24th Streets, the largest open-air food distribution center in Miami, and our office sits right at its eastern edge. The garment and textile market along NW 20th St employs an estimated two thousand people. Add the auto body shops, upholstery and carpentry trades, and the shipyards along the Miami River, and you have a neighborhood that works hard with its hands and its back.
What we treat most here
- Lifting and warehouse injuries. Crates, pallets, cold storage, and pre-dawn shifts at the produce market add up to low-back strain and disc problems.
- Neck and upper-back pain from machine work. Hours at a sewing machine hold the head forward and the shoulders rounded, which is a reliable recipe for neck pain and headaches.
- Shoulder and arm pain from overhead trades. Auto body, upholstery, and carpentry work put joints in awkward positions with vibrating tools.
- Driving injuries. Delivery and box-truck drivers spend the day seated and are exposed on some of the county's busiest corridors.
Streets worth knowing about
Two Allapattah corridors rank near the top of Miami-Dade's High Injury Network, which tracks where people are killed or seriously hurt. NW 20th St, the produce and textile spine, ranks second out of forty corridors countywide. NW 17th Ave, running through Little Santo Domingo, ranks fourth. If you were hurt in a crash on either, come in and we will check whether your care is covered. In Florida you generally have just 14 days from the accident to start treatment under PIP.
Hablamos espanol, and here it matters
In every Allapattah census tract, roughly half of adults speak Spanish and report speaking English less than very well. Little Santo Domingo along NW 17th Ave is home to Dominican families alongside large Cuban, Honduran, and Nicaraguan communities. Dr. Malavenda is fluent in both languages, so you can explain exactly where it hurts in the language you think in. Lea esta pagina en espanol.
