Find a doctor
The short version: look for a Florida qualified physician registered with the Office of Medical Marijuana Use — not just any local doctor. In Melbourne, HelloMJ offers in-person evaluations on S Wickham Rd with same-day certification when you qualify.
Searching "medical marijuana doctor near me" returns clinics, telehealth ads and primary-care offices that cannot certify you. Use a short checklist so you book the right kind of visit the first time.
Checklist for a Melbourne MMJ doctor
- Qualified physician status — completed Florida's medical marijuana training and registered to certify patients

- Registry experience — can enter your certification in the MMUR during or right after the visit

FAQ
Can my Melbourne primary-care doctor certify me?
Only if they are also registered as a qualified medical marijuana physician. Many are not — ask before assuming.
Are online-only certifications allowed for new patients?
Florida requires the initial evaluation to be in person. Be cautious with services that promise a card without a face-to-face exam.
Can I transfer to a Melbourne doctor later?
Yes. You can leave your current physician in the registry and establish care with a new qualified physician. HelloMJ transfers are $149.
