About South Beach Wellness Center

At South Beach Wellness Center, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest level of care and support. Our mission is to empower you to live a healthier, happier life, and we are committed to achieving this.

South Beach Wellness Center was built around a different idea entirely.

We are a Direct Primary Care and hormone optimization practice located in Lutz, Florida, sitting at the center of the Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes, and New Tampa corridor. We opened because the patients in this community deserved a practice that treated them as whole people, not appointment slots, and because the conventional model made that nearly impossible to deliver.

Our team of highly trained professionals is dedicated to providing personalized care and guidance to help you achieve your optimal health, weight-loss, and wellness goals. At South Beach Wellness Center, our core values revolve around patient-centered care, compassion, and excellence. We prioritize building strong relationships with our patients and providing personalized and comprehensive healthcare services that meet their unique needs. With a commitment to compassion and a pursuit of excellence, we strive to empower individuals on their wellness journeys and create a positive impact on their overall health and well-being.

The Practice

South Beach Wellness Center opened in Lutz with a clear focus: combine the access and continuity of Direct Primary Care with the clinical depth of hormone optimization, weight loss medicine, and advanced wellness services under one roof with one provider who coordinates all of it.

We are not a chain. We are not a franchise. We are one practice with one provider who is accountable to every patient who walks through the door.

Where We Are and Who We Serve

Our office is located at 2975 Allegra Way in Lutz, FL 33559, just north of Tampa Premium Outlets off SR-56. We sit directly between Wesley Chapel and Land O’ Lakes, which puts us within a practical drive for patients from New Tampa, Zephyrhills, Odessa, Trinity, Dade City, and the broader Pasco and Hillsborough county area.

We also offer virtual consultations for patients throughout Florida who prefer to start remotely or who manage ongoing care via telehealth.

We see patients who speak English. We see patients who speak Spanish. Se Habla Español is not a line on our website. It is part of who we are and why we built this practice the way we did. Maribel was born in Cuba and came to the United States at age 9. She understands firsthand what it means to navigate a healthcare system in your second language, and she built a practice where that barrier does not exist.

What We Do

South Beach Wellness Center is not a general urgent care or a high-volume primary care mill. We offer a focused set of services delivered with clinical depth and personal continuity.

What Makes This Practice Different

A lot of practices say they offer personalized care. Here is what that actually looks like at South Beach Wellness Center.

Maribel manages a smaller patient panel than a conventional primary care practice. That is not incidental. It is a deliberate constraint that makes everything else possible. When your provider is not managing 2,000 patients, she has time to know you.

Your appointments run as long as they need to. Your labs get reviewed in the context of your symptoms, not just against a reference range. When your hormone therapy, your weight loss program, and your primary care are all with the same provider, she sees the connections between all of it in a way that siloed specialists cannot.

We hold certifications that most practices in this corridor do not carry. Maribel is an Advanced BHRT Certified provider through WorldLink Medical, one of the most rigorous evidence-based hormone medicine training programs available to nurse practitioners. She is a certified EvexiPEL provider. She holds board certification in Family Medicine from the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

She also volunteers at the local high school. She and her husband have two teenage sons who are active in the community. This practice is not a satellite location managed from a corporate office somewhere else. It is a local business run by someone who lives here, knows this community, and is accountable to it.

Meet Our Provider

  • Advanced BHRT Certified, WorldLink Medical Licensed in the State of Florida

  • EvexiPEL Certified Provider

  • Se Habla Español

  • Nationally Certified Family Nurse Practitioner

Maribel Dixon has been serving patients in the Tampa Bay area since 2012. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing with a specialty in Family Nurse Practitioner from South University, where she was inducted into Sigma Theta Tau, the international nursing honor society. She spent five years in internal medicine before opening South Beach Wellness Center, building deep expertise in chronic disease management before expanding into hormone optimization and advanced wellness care.

She is one of a small number of providers in the Wesley Chapel and Land O’ Lakes corridor who holds both WorldLink Medical Advanced BHRT certification and EvexiPEL provider certification.

A Note on Bilingual Care

Spanish-speaking patients in the Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes, and Lutz area have historically had to navigate their most personal health conversations through a language that is not their own, or through a translator who is not their provider.

At South Beach Wellness Center, Maribel conducts appointments in both English and Spanish. Hormone therapy, weight loss, chronic disease management, and primary care conversations happen in the language her patients are most comfortable in. For the Spanish-speaking community in Pasco and Hillsborough counties, this is not a convenience. It is a meaningful part of feeling heard and understood in a clinical environment.
