THE PHYSICIAN

Meet Dr. Deschamps

Dr. Deschamps — Coral Gables, FL — Gabriel M. Deschamps MD P.A.

I am an old fashioned, clinically trained Internist-Primary Care Physician. Originally born and raised in New York City, I returned with my parents to the Dominican Republic in my late teens. I entered an intensive, combined Pre-med/Medical Program in 1984 and graduated from Medical School in 1990 (INTEC University, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic). I had the opportunity to work as a General Practitioner and teach before returning to the United States.

Completed my training in Internal Medicine-Primary Care at Metropolitan Hospital, New York Medical College from 1995-1998. I relocated to Miami, Fl. shortly thereafter, where I joined a very successful group practice for the next 5 1/2 years. We specialized in both inpatient and outpatient medicine.

In 2004, I struck out on my own and went into solo practice with nothing more than a wish: to practice medicine in a more dignified and humanitarian manner. The last 19 years have been interesting to say the least. I am now 57 years old. I have seen many changes. And so have many of you.

Despite the amount of money spent on U.S. healthcare, we appear to be ranked last among other industrialized countries.

According to the CDC (up to 2019), the most common causes of DEATH in the U.S., ages 45-64 years of age were: 1. Malignant Neoplasms (CANCER), and 2. Heart Disease (i.e, HEART ATTACKS).  WHY?

Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, Diabetes Mellitus and other metabolic disorders, Neurodegenerative Disease, and Mental Health are tearing into our health-span and life-span. According to Dr. Peter Attia (author of “Outlive”): “…we need to approach the situation … in an entirely different way, with a different mindset, and using a different set of tools.”

Due to my understanding of the current healthcare system, and now a much better appreciation for the contribution of Science (Physics and Quantum Mechanics, Chemistry, Biology, and Psychology, Social Sciences) and Philosophy,  I can offer a more consultative, collaborative and empathetic approach towards my patient’s problems, concerns and care. My team and I, hope to address your specific health concerns and work towards a better understanding and solution.

Today, as we embark on a significant transformation of our healthcare system, the wish has become a mission. One of my mentors in Residency Training said this to me: "Anybody can be a Doctor. I want you to become a Physician. A PHYSICIAN CARES FOR PEOPLE." Therein lays the challenge in our current healthcare system and state of affairs. Join me. I would like to make my mentors proud.


Live long and prosper,

Gabriel M Deschamps MD
