Emergent Physicians of South Florida started in 2018 as a partnership with the Baptist Health Free Standing Emergency Rooms. Its sole purpose is to develop outstanding talent, provider experience and deliver cutting edge ER medicine.

Although this specific project started in 2018, we have provided ER physician services to Baptist Health since 1968. We are a family run program with David R. Nateman, MD as the CEO of the company and Kevin Nateman our CFO.

We are committed to the relationship with Baptist Health. We partner with them and them only. Baptist Health is the best in South Florida and arguably one of the best in the Country. They are leaders in innovation, patient experience and offer world-class medical programs to support our providers’ consults.

Our sister company Urgent Care Physicians of South Florida, provides Urgent Care providers to the Baptist Health Urgent Care Centers. We take pride in our retention rate as our average tenure is 9 years within the group.

Both groups provide care for the South Florida (Greater Miami area) community. It is diverse, respectful of providers and a great place to live and connect.

Our group leaders have worked closely with Baptist Health to provide the best care, work environment and resources available for our providers to succeed but more importantly enjoy their work environment.

As the Medical Director for Emergent Physicians of South Florida, Jose F Llach, DO has been leading the Free-Standing ER program since its development in January 2018. Having the opportunity to be a former Emergency Room Technician, ER Physician Assistant and Assistant Medical Director provided Jose with global perspective of ER workflows. He has developed processes and an environment best suited to assist an ER physician or APP provider flourish.
