  • Bring your valid Florida state ID and 12 months of medical records to your doctor’s appointment.

Surterra has always been a very, very professional dispensary. They have great product, their bud tenders know their products very well and know how to help you. They are never in a rush, and they always have fantastic products and sales. They have now become my dispensary of choice, as their flower is always fresh and not dry hard nuggets. Their professionalism in this field is top-notch.
