At Fox Medical Centers, we stand behind the enthusiasm for this new treatment option that has the potential to dramatically increase the quality of life of many of our patients who are living with a debilitating medical condition.
In order to become a patient who is eligible to receive medical marijuana treatment in Florida, there are certain criteria you must follow.
Legalizing this new avenue of treatment can be incredibly beneficial to patients who may have given up on the effectiveness of prescription drugs or prefer to opt for more natural remedies. At Fox Medical Centers, we have treated patients with many different diseases, ailments, and conditions throughout the years.

Or any other ailment/condition of the same type/class as or comparable to those enumerated, as determined by a physician’s opinion that the medical use of marijuana would surpass any potential health risks.
