Interventional radiologist opening medical marijuana clinic in Florida

Hervé Damas MD, MBA, began his career as a professional football player, tackling opposing players for the Buffalo Bills, and then went on to become an interventional radiologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida.

Damas is now entering yet another phase of his career by opening a medical marijuana clinic in the Miami neighborhood of Wynwood, according to a new profile published by the Miami New Times.

“My place, as a wellness center, will provide cannabis evaluations, will provide mental health evaluations, nutritional counseling—we want to be a destination, not a typical doctor's office,” Damas told reporter Travis Cohen.
