About
At PrivaMedis Concierge Medicine, four board-certified internists deliver primary care on the campus of Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach. Dr. Gary Merlino and Dr. Alejandro Del Valle founded the practice together, building it into one of the area's most prominent internal medicine groups. Dr. Esther Amador-Del Valle and Dr. Freddie Prieto round out a team with deep South Florida roots and extensive clinical experience.
The physicians take a quarterback approach to care, coordinating with specialists and guiding patients through the healthcare system. Each care plan begins with a full lifestyle review covering exercise, diet, family history, and long-term health goals. The practice limits its patient panel to keep appointments unhurried and physicians directly accessible. Members reach a live person during office hours and contact their physician directly by cell, text, or email after hours. A collaboration with Healthy Aging Medical Centers extends available services to include bioidentical hormone optimization, functional medicine testing, sexual wellness, and medical weight loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Members pay an annual retainer fee for enhanced concierge care at PrivaMedis Concierge Medicine. This fee covers the elevated access and services that define the concierge experience.
