Since 2016, DocMJ has been providing a simple, patient-friendly option for those interested in obtaining a medical marijuana card in Florida. Now the organization, made up of the largest and most experienced group of certified medical marijuana physicians in the state, is offering expanded wellness services and opening its first medspa as well.

“We decided to add total wellness services as a way to help our patients extend their knowledge not only of the medications they get at the dispensaries, but of other CBD products as well,” explained DocMJ Chief Operating Office Jackie Rothman. “Working with our patient care team, they can learn more about how both THC and CBD can help with their symptoms and increase their general all-around wellness.”

According to Rothman, CBD should actually be used with THC for patients to get the most benefit.

“This is not just for people who have severe conditions, but for those who want to utilize CBD as a sort of multivitamin to enhance day-to-day wellness,” said Rothman. “Even if a person doesn’t meet the state’s qualifying conditions to use medical marijuana, they can still use CBD from hemp products to enrich their daily lives. Through a no-cost consultation, either by phone or virtually, we can help them find what will work best for them.”

 

DocMJ carries a specific line of CBD products, called DocCBD, that can be ordered online or found at some of its clinics throughout the state. “The products we carry are all physician-backed and are handpicked to help people get the specific benefits they want,” said Rothman. “There are tons of CBD products out there, and it’s important to know what you’re putting in your body; we’ve done the research to weed out everything that is unnecessary or not beneficial.”

In February, DocMJ plans to open its first medspa to offer clients even more self-care options. “In keeping with our focus on total wellness, we decided to add health and beauty services that are good for the body and mind,” said Rothman.

The medspa, which will be located in DocMJ’s clinic on South Dale Mabry Highway in south Tampa, will include a multitude of services such acupuncture, cupping, vitamin injections, facials, peels, laser treatments, Botox, fillers and more.

“It’s a beautiful space, and it felt like the right place to open our first medspa,” said Rothman, adding that the company does have plans to open more. “Right now, we do have a few other locations in mind, but we want to do this one big launch before we start popping up everywhere else.”

The medspa will be open to everyone, and will offer a number of alternative therapies for those who utilize medical marijuana and CBD, as well as for those who do not.

“While we have been able to offer a number of products that help patients feel better, we wanted to provide them with a way to pamper themselves as well,” said Rothman. “When you look good, you feel good, and that’s good for your mental health.”
