PER CURIAM
Affirmed. See Fernandez v. Homestar at Miller Cove, Inc., 935 So.2d 547, 551 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006) (observing that where an agreement is "clear and unambiguous . . . 'a court is powerless to rewrite the contract to make it more reasonable or advantageous for one of the contracting parties'") (quoting in part Emergency Assocs. of Tampa, P.A. v. Sassano, 664 So.2d 1000, 1003 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995)); see also A.J. v State, 677 So.2d 935, 937 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996) ("The patient's express or implied acceptance of the provider's estimate gives rise to an enforceable contract to pay the amount of the bill.").
