Head Matter:
Joseph OVADIA, M.D., Petitioner, v. DOCTORS’ HOSPITAL OF SOUTH MIAMI, LTD., d/b/a Larkin General Hospital, a Florida corporation, Respondent.
No. 89-2452.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Feb. 13, 1990.
Magill & Lewis and R. Fred Lewis, Miami, for petitioner.
Metzger, Sonneborn & Rutter and Nancy P. Maxwell, West Palm Beach, for respondent.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HUBBART and JORGENSON, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is dismissed without prejudice to raise the constitutional issue presented herein upon an appeal from a final order dismissing the petitioner's complaint below or any other adverse final order or final judgment. We reach this result because, simply stated, the petitioner has an adequate remedy by appeal from such a final order or final judgment when entered — which necessarily means that we have no jurisdiction to review the order complained of on a petition for a writ of certiorari. We have not overlooked the petitioner's forceful arguments to the contrary, but are not persuaded thereby. See Martin-Johnson, Inc. v. Savage, 509 So.2d 1097, 1098 (Fla.1987); Shell v. State Road Dept., 135 So.2d 857 (Fla.1961); Brooks v. Owens, 97 So.2d 693, 695 (Fla.1957); Feldman v. Glucroft, 553 So.2d 282 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989).
Certiorari dismissed.
