While Atlanta may not be a tier 1 medical center, it should definitely be tier two. it has a great university and hospital system with Emory. It also has the CDC. Then, there is GT who works on biotech and biomedical engineering with Emory. You also have colleges like Morehouse and Spellman that graduate quite a few doctors.
The pharmaceuticals were based on chemistry, vs. biotechs that are based on biology. With the rise of biotech in the 90s and the subsequent mergers with the pharmas, the balance of power shifted a bit toward the Bostons and so on.
Disclaimer: Not claiming that Miami is on par with top tier healthcare centers around the country, but considering we are a young city with younger institutions (relatively speaking), you could pick worse places to get sick.
Based upon concentration of medical and research facilities, Miami has the second largest healthcare district in the country after Houston.
Also, if you eyes are bothering you, we have the consistently ranked # 1 ophthalmology institute in the country: Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. They even have their own ER open 24/7, 365. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, this is the only dedicated ophthalmology ER out there that offers Denny's hours (i.e. "We never close").

for some of the Bio tech RD much is still owned and HQ'd elsewhere
also Biotech represents only about 24% of all Pharma dollars
NJ has a lot more biotech than you think as well
and is small vs large molecule really larger being more "biotech" or targeted biomarker driven really
most of these companies still get gobbled up but there is a lot of r and d development in boston and the bay for these
the center of the world pharma industry is still NJ, especially in gross and its not even close
look at a company like Juno - acquired by Celgene NJ now acquired by BMS also NJ

those marketing claims just seem way off the complexes in Boston (not all the same entity but all in spot) or in University Philly are both significant larger than this complex and neither are singular to the cities for such complexes that claim (even the TMC claims) or marketing than reality
for example the complex in Kendall Sq that crosses the Longfellow bridge to the huge Boston hospital complexes is multiple times larger as one example
Miami is decent but not a top healthcare center fully loaded
