Naturopathic Telehealth for Southwest Ranches
Virtual integrative medicine for the Everglades-edge town that refused to be annexed
Southwest Ranches residents take their appointment with Dr. Mathew Jadan, ND on the property. A small town on the eastern edge of the Everglades, roughly 15 miles southwest of Fort Lauderdale, it exists because its residents declined to be absorbed by a neighbor, and its large lots make any errand a long one.
Dr. Jadan is a three-time cancer survivor who used natural medicine to dissolve his own brain tumor. He specializes in chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, hormone optimization, Lyme disease, digestive health, and cancer wellness support.
Whether you live near Sunshine Ranches Equestrian Park, Volunteer Park -- the consultation comes down the wire instead of down Griffin Road.
Initial consultations are $400 (60 minutes) and follow-ups are $150 (30 minutes). All services provided under the medical supervision of Dr. Mirna Jadan, MD, a board-certified, Florida-licensed physician.

Southwest Ranches is a town of about 7,600 people on the eastern edge of the Everglades, roughly 15 miles southwest of Fort Lauderdale and 22 miles northwest of Miami, and it exists because its residents refused to be annexed. It incorporated on June 6, 2000 as Broward County's 30th municipality after a four-year campaign, then wrote its rural character into law: no house on a lot smaller than an acre, and generally no sidewalks and no streetlights. It is not even one shape, but three separate pieces, the two largest of them 1,455 feet apart.
Local Landmarks and Attractions
- The Equestrian Oasis, a public art installation that doubles as a drinking fountain for horses.
- Rolling Oaks Park, 46 acres bought by the town in 2001.
- Frontier Trails, 30 acres of archaeological and environmental preservation.
- The town hall, a former church renovated in 2012 after twelve years of running the town from a modular office.
- The named neighborhoods that became the town: Country Estates, Green Meadow, Ivanhoe Estates, Rolling Oaks, Sunshine Ranches, Landmark Ranch Estates and Sterling Ranch Estates.
Local History
- Before European colonization the Tequesta lived in southeastern Florida for almost 2,000 years, from roughly 500 BCE to the 18th century. In the 1970s archaeologists excavated a Tequesta burial site here on what had been an Everglades tree island, holding artifacts more than a thousand years old.
- In 1996 Pembroke Pines proposed annexing the unincorporated land between Griffin Road, Sheridan Street, Flamingo Road and State Road 25. Hundreds of residents packed the Broward County Legislative Delegation hearing at Pembroke Pines City Hall that November to object and to ask for the right to form their own town.
- The Legislature answered in 1997 with a bill setting a residents' vote for March 2000, offering three choices: annexation into Pembroke Pines, annexation into Davie, or a new city.
- On July 3, 1999 the Southwest Ranches Homeowners Association held a parade and picnic to declare the area's independence. Speakers included State Senator Howard Forman, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, County Commissioner Lori Parrish, Sheriff Ken Jenne and Weston Mayor Harry Rosen.
- The town incorporated on June 6, 2000 as the 30th incorporated place in Broward County, folding in the former census-designated places of Country Estates, Green Meadow, Ivanhoe Estates, Rolling Oaks and Sunshine Ranches along with the Landmark Ranch Estates and Sterling Ranch Estates subneighborhoods.
- From incorporation until 2012 the town ran its business out of a modular office at the South Broward Drainage District headquarters. In 2012 it renovated a former church into its first permanent town hall.
Culture and Community
- Horses set the pace. The town has built miles of multiuse trails, and residents are regularly seen riding, cycling or walking them across the town.
- Of the seven open-space parks acquired since incorporation, one has been developed, and it holds a schooling ring, a show ring and the Equestrian Oasis, an art installation whose main job is providing drinking water for horses.
- Rolling Oaks Park covers 46 acres of multiuse trails, restored wetlands and freshwater fishing, and was purchased by the town in 2001.
- Frontier Trails sets aside 30 acres for archaeological and environmental preservation, with multiuse trails running through it.
Local Character
- The unofficial motto is "The pavement stops here!" and the town means it. Local law generally prevents sidewalks and streetlights from being built.
- No home may be built on a lot smaller than one acre.
- The town is three non-contiguous pieces rather than one, the two largest separated by 1,455 feet.
- Residents named the place themselves, choosing Southwest Ranches over other candidates because of the horse ranches and the town's position in southwestern Broward County.
- About 96 percent of homes are owner-occupied, and roughly 98 percent of housing is detached single-family.
