At Miami Cancer Institute, molecular diagnostics are used to fully understand the molecular makeup of a patient’s cancer, which helps our experts create personalized and targeted treatment plans. Unmatched in South Florida, our Institute is at the forefront of cancer treatment and prevention, with its use of molecular diagnostics and genetic risk assessment.

Dr. Manuel Ozambela

Urologic Surgical Oncologist

Physician Spotlight

Manuel Ozambela, Jr., M.D., is a urologic surgical oncologist at Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute. He specializes in the treatment of cancers that arise from the genitourinary system (urinary and reproductive systems), including kidney, bladder, prostate, testicular and penile cancers. He is fluent in English and Spanish.

Prior to joining Baptist Health, Dr. Ozambela completed his fellowship in urologic oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. During the fellowship, he worked with a multidisciplinary group of investigators to study rare and aggressive kidney tumors with the goal of identifying novel treatment options. He has authored multiple scientific abstracts, manuscripts and book chapters on various topics in urologic oncology.

Through his research, he strives to identify new diagnostic and treatment options for genitourinary cancers, improve patient recovery after surgery and enhance his patients’ quality of life.

Understanding that he often meets patients during significantly stressful moments, Dr. Ozambela takes time to talk through diagnoses and treatment options. Through excellent communication and shared decision-making, he works with his patients to create treatment plans that reflect their individual goals.

Dr. Ozambela is a South Florida native and enjoys spending time with his growing family when not taking care of patients.
