We had to WAIT over 3 months to get into the Villages Health Care system, once in it it has been very good for GENERAL aliments. In general if you need a specialist you will get referred to someone OUTSIDE of Villages Health.
We came from the Lehigh Valley area of PA., and the health network there had all of the specialist IN THE NETWORK, which was what I was expecting here, no such luck.
Hope this helps.
Even though it took awhile for our first doctor appointment, we were told if we needed a doctor visit for something, we were in the system and would be seen.
