Amadeo H. Cabral, MD MBA , FACS , CHCQM: General Surgeon at Hernia Instittue of Florida

Dr. Amadeo H. Cabral, MD, MBA, FACS, CHCQM, is a Board-Certified General Surgeon at the Hernia Institute of Florida, known not only for his surgical expertise but also for the thoughtful, process-driven care he brings to each patient. With a background rooted in discipline and empathy, Dr. Cabral leads with a philosophy that prioritizes patient outcomes, streamlined care, and a deep understanding of the full spectrum of challenges faced by injured workers.

His dedication to medicine is matched by a passion for the art of surgery itself. “The ‘why’ is the love of the art of surgery,” he shares. “What inspires me is the ability to improve my skills every day to obtain better surgical outcomes, patient experience, and a healthier return to work and life.” That mindset has guided his career and shaped the patient-centered approach his practice is known for.

Describing himself in three words—dedicated, responsible, and empathetic—Dr. Cabral underscores the values that define his work. He is committed not only to his craft but to the well-being of every patient and team member involved in the process. He brings a high level of responsibility to each decision, and empathy to every interaction, understanding that healing goes beyond the operating room.

Dr. Cabral’s journey in medicine began with intensity and excitement—long hours, complex procedures, and high-stakes decision-making. That experience forged the steady, high-level perspective he brings to the workers’ compensation field today. For him, caring for injured workers means more than performing a procedure—it means understanding the broader context of their experience. “It’s more than just the surgical procedure,” he explains. “We see and treat the entire process from injury referral to return to work—and we simplify that process.”

At the Hernia Institute of Florida, Dr. Cabral has created a system that reflects this full-scope approach. Once a referral is received, patients are scheduled immediately, relevant documentation and imaging are gathered, and a thorough evaluation—including in-office ultrasound when necessary—is performed for same-day diagnosis and planning. Surgical coordination, medical clearance, and transportation are arranged seamlessly, followed by structured post-operative care and timely communication with all parties involved. Every step is designed to ensure clarity, speed, and optimal outcomes.

Outside the OR, Dr. Cabral finds inspiration in music and reflection. A fan of classic jazz and stoic philosophy, he brings a calm, thoughtful presence to both his personal life and professional practice—balancing precision with perspective.

With a commitment to both clinical excellence and administrative efficiency, Dr. Amadeo Cabral continues to elevate standards in surgical care and workers' compensation—ensuring every patient receives not just treatment, but a path forward.
