Oh well.....perhaps it isn't complete yet....
But then again, you can build as many exam/treatment rooms as you want but if you don't adequately staff them, the problem will remain. So what's the problem with obtaining sufficient staff. Well the main problem is that you have to pay them. And where does the money come from to pay these medical professionals? It comes from third party payers for services rendered, such as Medicare and private health insurance companies operating under Obamacare. Since The Villages is an over 55 community with a population of over 100,000 there is a very high percentage of Medicare patients here. And Medicare compensation is notoriously low compared to private insurance. And Obamacare only makes the compensation situation worse.
So don't blame the developer for your long wait. Blame your government.

Probably neither one...............
