How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card

Dr. Heather Metchick is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist and is the owner/founder of Coastal Women’s Health in New Smyrna Beach. She grew up in Stuart, Florida and attended the University of Central Florida, followed by St. George’s University School of Medicine. After completing residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology in Hartford, Connecticut, she returned to her roots in Florida and became the owner and founder of Coastal Women’s Health in New Smyrna Beach. She has been serving Volusia County since 2004 in private practice, caring for women with gynecology needs. Caring for women is a delicate art, and includes common conditions such as anxiety, depression and chronic pain. As medical marijuana gained momentum in Florida it became clear to Dr. Metchick that this is a safe and effective way to treat many of the conditions that she was treating with traditional medicine. On a more personal level, Dr. Metchick witnessed several family members suffer with chronic medical conditions that have been shown to be relieved with medical marijuana. She felt a strong desire to expand her medical care to reach a broader patient base who could benefit and improve their quality of life by recommending medical marijuana.
