Care Delivered Where You Are

In your home

Pain and limited mobility are exactly what make leaving the house hard – so a home visit removes that hurdle entirely. Rafael can assess an injury, manage a flare of arthritis, check a healing surgical site, or run a routine check-up right where the patient is, without the strain of getting to a clinic. Seeing patients in their own environment also makes it easier to spot what's helping and what isn't, and to adjust care accordingly.

Telehealth

Plenty of follow-ups and questions don't require an in-person visit. Over secure video, Rafael can review how a pain or recovery plan is working, talk through symptoms, and decide together whether an in-person assessment is needed – keeping patients across Miami connected to care between visits.

Sofiia Puhach

I am a medical student driven by the intersection of clinical practice, research, and medical communication. As a Medical Editor for Doctor2me, I specialize in refining complex medical information for a broader audience. My academic journey is defined by a commitment to scientific inquiry and a hands-on approach to healthcare, evidenced by my ongoing research work and my volunteer service at a military hospital. I am passionate about contributing to the future of medicine through both evidence-based research and compassionate service.

My clinical curiosity spans the full spectrum of surgical disciplines, though I am most dedicated to the field of neurosurgery.

In my editorial work, I prioritize clinical accuracy by synthesizing data from gold-standard medical sources, including PubMed, the NIH, and the CDC. I ensure every article is grounded in the latest evidence-based research, frequently referencing ClinicalTrials.gov and clinical insights from Harvard Medical School.

My writing aims to serve as a steady roadmap for readers, offering them the science without  'medical-speak'. I believe that when patients have access to credible, peer-reviewed information, they are better equipped to navigate their recovery and treatment.
