WOW!!!....amazed as to why somebody would avoid an outstanding physician (Dr. Martinez-Cruz is a 5 star rated physician)...because he's an Internist and does not carry malpractice insurance....He's not a Surgeon, OB-Gyn just an Internal Medicine physician.....BTW....There actually is a law in Florida (see 458.320, F.S.) that says doctors must carry $100,000 in malpractice insurance in order to practice medicine at all, and in order to have hospital staff privileges (they see patients in hospitals and not just in their offices) they must have at least $250,000 in malpractice insurance. As an alternative to having an actual malpractice insurance policy, Florida law also allows doctors to use other types of pre-arranged secured assets to cover claims in these amounts, like trust accounts, bank letters of credit, and similar arrangements. There is nothing inherently wrong with these other types of security, but they are rarely used.
