Three chiropractic appointments around Kendall that work very differently

A multi-doctor office with Saturday mornings, a Dadeland practice whose founder is retired, and an upstairs movement studio ask for three different kinds of first visit.

On a map, three offices around Kendall can look like equivalent pins. In practice, one schedules a phone-confirmed visit with a team of chiropractors and medical professionals, another carries the name of a retired founder while a Spanish-speaking colleague now practices there, and a third separates a short initial conversation from a later hour-long examination. For someone comparing care, the first decision is therefore not which address is closest. It is what kind of visit will take place, with whom, and how many trips it will require. All three use Miami mailing addresses within the Kendall or Dadeland area; this guide does not turn the neighborhood into a separate municipality.

SW 137th Avenue: a team, a split day and Saturday morning

Martinez Chiropractic and Medical Center operates at 12595 SW 137th Avenue, Suite 108. Its doctors page names Damian Martinez, Damaris Sabater, Thomas Krahn and David Goodrich; Sabater is identified as speaking English and Spanish. The office describes chiropractic and medical backgrounds together, with a menu extending beyond adjustments to soft-tissue methods, orthotics, weight-management medicine and PRP injections. A service menu this broad requires a clear assignment of clinician and reason for each recommendation. The first-visit guide describes paperwork, history, examination and, when appropriate, studies; care often begins the same day, while a separate review of findings may follow within a day or two. The schedule is just as important: Monday, Wednesday and Friday close from noon until 3:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Saturday are mornings only; Thursday is closed. A person who can attend only Saturday has an option here that the Dadeland office does not publish.

SW 87th Court: the name has outlived the founder's working years

Levitt Chiropractic Center at 8955 SW 87th Court is also presented as Dadeland Chiropractic Center. The place listing still begins with Barry Levitt's name, but the practice homepage explicitly says he is retired. Erick Daes is the clinician it presents now, and his biography says he speaks fluent Spanish. That distinction matters to a reader asking for a particular doctor, not just a familiar business name. Monday and Wednesday have morning and afternoon sessions; Tuesday and Thursday start at 1 p.m.; Friday is a morning only, with no weekend hours. The new-patient form identifies Daes's practice and states that payment is due at service unless another arrangement is made, even when insurance is involved. Two public place listings at this same address have different names and review totals. They are not two offices, and their counts should not be combined to make the practice appear more reviewed.

SW 131st Street: movement work and a second-floor treatment room

At 13429 SW 131st Street, Suite 200, Chiropractic and Movement Studio - Kendall is inside IMT CrossFit. Karen Maley describes an initial 15–20 minute conversation and movement screen, followed by a separate exam-and-treatment appointment of about an hour; routine follow-ups are described as about 30 minutes. This sequence differs sharply from assuming that every first booking includes a full assessment and treatment. The office works by appointment and advertises Tuesday, Thursday and Friday hours. A doctor page adds Saturday by appointment, while the homepage does not, so Saturday should not be treated as a dependable regular opening. The FAQ also says the upstairs room is reached by two stair flights. A public map label describes the entrance as accessible, but it does not establish access to that room. The same studio names a Pinecrest address at 8766 SW 131st Street; that is a separate office, not the Kendall location shown here.

Recent public comments for Martinez and the Kendall movement studio describe staff who listen and explain, and the latter's visitors mention individualized movement guidance. Those are accounts of service, not evidence that an intervention will work for someone else. Levitt's visible comments are much older and cannot be treated as current feedback. The practical choice is between a multi-professional office with a Saturday morning, a Dadeland practice with a named Spanish-speaking clinician and written payment terms, and an appointment-only movement studio with a two-step intake and an upstairs room. Each profile holds the full address, telephone, office details and map; none requires the reader to start the investigation again.

Bottom line
