Called and asked for her, and had an initial visit within three weeks. I did like her; no complaints. Needed some tests and a small foot problem dealt with. No complaints about care.
Came down with a bug a few months ago. Called for an appointment, they scheduled me that very morning. Not with my primary, but with a PA. She was fine.
A day later, I was having trouble breathing ( I have asthma) and went to the urgent care attached to the hospital. It was around 6 PM. There was no one else there, I was seen instantly and whisked to a room. The Doc was great, very thorough and patient.
I've only been her 6 months, but so far I am satisfied. Hope this helps!

I totally agree. We are not members of the Villages Health care system. We have our own primary doctor and have found no problem at all getting in to see doctors or have any complaints about waiting times or quality of care. We have lived here several years and I've never worried one minute about that. You just have to do your research on a GP. Get recommendations from others and if you need a specialist do the same. We have access to lots of great doctors all over the place. I also love the urgent care at the hospital. Have been there 3 times and have never had to wait. They have access to x-rays and bloodwork because they are in the hospital.
