About the Doctor

Dr. Marina De Amorim is a highly accomplished and broadly educated anesthesiologist serving patients at Baptist Health South Miami Hospital in South Miami, Florida, with 11 to 20 years of specialized clinical experience. Her educational journey is notably multidisciplinary — she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and French from the University of Utah from 2004 to 2008, followed by her medical degree from the University of Utah School of Medicine, and simultaneously pursued a Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) from the same institution from 2008 to 2011. This rare combination of medical and public health training gives Dr. De Amorim a uniquely broad perspective on patient care, population health, and the systemic factors that influence surgical outcomes and anesthesia safety.

Dr. De Amorim completed her Anesthesiology residency at the University of Miami/Jackson Health System from 2015 to 2019 — one of the nation’s busiest and most academically rigorous training hospitals — and was subsequently appointed Chief Resident in Anesthesiology from 2018 to 2019, a distinction that reflects her exceptional clinical skills, leadership qualities, and the high regard in which she was held by her training program. She practices at Anesthesia Associates of Greater Miami, PA, working within a large, experienced team of anesthesiologists at Baptist Health South Miami Hospital, ranked #37 in Florida and recognized as a U.S. News Best Hospital. Her published research further demonstrates her commitment to advancing the science and practice of anesthesiology beyond the operating room.

Dr. De Amorim is fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese — a particularly valuable asset in the culturally diverse South Florida community, where many patients are more comfortable communicating in Spanish or Portuguese. She holds an active Florida State Medical License through 2027, accepts Medicare, Cigna, and Florida Blue, and is currently welcoming new patients. Telehealth services may be available — patients are encouraged to contact the practice for more information.
