As a resident, Dr. Paez excelled as a physician and gained the trust, respect, and confidence of his attending physicians and peers and was named Administrative Chief Resident in charge of 36 resident doctors.

Dr. Paez went into private practice in Clearwater, Florida for two years before joining the team at South Miami OB-GYN Associates in 2003. In addition to his position at South Miami OB-GYN Associates, Dr. Paez currently serves as Chief of Service for the OB-GYN department at South Miami Hospital. Dr. Paez is board-certified and has received numerous awards including the Gynecological Endocrinology Award from the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital.

PATIENT FEEDBACK

“Dr. Chi was amazing- she coached me through the labor. A true professional with the experience every new mommy needs. I will continue to see her for my future appointments.”

Denay Z.

“Everyone is so nice at the practise. I have been going there for approximately 10 years now and even though I live a good 45 minutes away, I wouldn’t change doctors. Dr. Chi is amazing! She delivered both my sons and I had a great experience with her as well as with the other doctors at the practise.”

Beatrice R.

“Dr. Horst is INCREDIBLE! His attention to detail, bedside manner and amazing memory are just a few of his top qualities. I can’t properly express my absolute gratitude to have him as my Dr.”
