Medical Cannabis Physicians of Florida is a medical marijuana certification practice in Winter Park. It operates inside Family Practice of Winter Park at 1400 S Orlando Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32789. The office certifies qualifying patients for the state program and does not sell cannabis. South Orlando Avenue is U.S. 17-92, just south of downtown Winter Park.

Certifications are handled by Dr. Varesh Patel, a family-medicine physician with more than 14 years in the Orlando area. He completed his residency at Florida Hospital East, serving as chief resident, after earning his medical degree at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. Patients are seen within an established primary-care practice rather than a cannabis-only storefront.

Florida requires a qualifying condition and a physician’s certification before a patient can register for a card. Dr. Patel evaluates for state-listed conditions, among them cancer, ALS, epilepsy, glaucoma, Crohn’s disease, and HIV/AIDS. Cannabis evaluations run on a limited afternoon schedule, Tuesday through Thursday from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, by appointment.

The practice sits along the 17-92 corridor near Winter Park Village and the Orange Avenue shops. It draws patients from Winter Park, Maitland, Casselberry, and the College Park side of Orlando. Park Avenue’s shopping district and Rollins College are minutes east.
