The launch of Magellan Medical brings new hope to those frustrated with new age medicine and their families in the Tri-County Miami-Dade area
Whether faced with a life altering diagnosis, dealing with the aftermath of an injury or illness or simply trying to keep your health up can be downright overwhelming. This is not only true for the patient but also for their loved ones who often end up with the burden of their care.

Because of their familiarity with the medical system, Magellan helps individuals navigate the rough waters of the medical arena, acting as an irreplaceable resource to both the patients and their families.

Magellan assists with appointment scheduling, locating top specialists, accompanying patients to physician appointments, evaluating medications, and actively communicating to the family.
Under the leadership of industry professionals, Magellan Medical stands apart as an innovative, patient centric company dedicated to health, wellness and exceptional recoveries. Magellan is run by Bridgette Acosta and Medical Director Randy Kritzer M.D., a board-certified neurosurgeon with over 30 years of experience.
Why so Many Individuals are Turning to Magellan
Dealing with the medical system either in the doctor’s office, hospital or at home can be difficult, muddied by referrals, lab work, imaging, and medical terminology. When you take into account seeing multiple specialists, numerous medications, and care instructions it becomes too much for any individual to successfully manage. Unfortunately, this is all dropped on the patient by a strained healthcare system that attempts to push patients through its revolving doors. Patients and their families are left feeling lost and hopeless. They don’t understand what the doctor said, what their options are, what medications would be best, and what side effects need to be taken into consideration.
