Usually there is no to little wait. However, sometimes appointments can run late or the unusual will happen, and thus, the longest wait time patients have experienced in the past has been up to 25-30 minutes.
Since COVID-19, we ask that all patients wait in their cars until Dr. Andreoni is ready to see you. This minimizes patient-patient interaction and promotes good safety practices at our office.
PLEASE WEAR A MASK!

No. This is because we do not go through insurance when charging for the medical marijuana evaluations. Because specific medications (generic vs brand, etc) are covered by different insurances/go through insurance altogether, our policy is to have our physicians strictly focus on medical marijuana recommendations.

Be safe – never drive or operate machinery under the influence of cannabis. Keep your cannabis in a secure area of your vehicle, out of reach of the driver and passengers. Cannabis is not allowed to cross state lines.

To maintain an active medical marijuana use registry ID card, a patient and/or legal representative must annually submit a renewal application, along with the application fee and any required accompanying documents to the department forty-five (45) days prior to the card expiration date.

No. Florida law only allows licensed medical marijuana treatment centers to grow, process and dispense marijuana. The Department of Health will refer any business or individual suspected of violating state law to local law enforcement for investigation. It is important to remember that marijuana is illegal under federal law.

Requests to change the information on an ID card or to replace a lost or stolen card will require the cardholder to submit a Change, Replacement or Surrender Request Form to the Office of Medical Marijuana Use, along with a copy of his or her Florida driver’s license or identification card and a $15 replacement fee to the Department of Health. To change your address on your ID card, follow step-by-step instructions on the Office of Medical Marijuana Use’s Address Change Instructional Guide.

Due to COVID-19 Surgeon General Dr. Scott A. Rivkees signed Emergency Order 20-002, allowing EXISTING MMJ patients to temporarily renew their Medical Marijuana Use Registry identification card through telemedicine. Transfer patients (existing MMJ patients under another physician) and new patients still must be evaluation in person. The follow up visit can then be done via telemedicine (if this rule is still in effect).

Medical marijuana treatment centers may only provide medical marijuana or a marijuana delivery device to a qualified patient or a qualified patient’s caregiver.
