I also understand the hospital ER wait is awful, especially in Snowbird season. I just hope i am totally wrong. What is a newbie to do, and as seniors we need good , reliable and quick health care. Again, I hope i am wrong, please tell me. Any ideas about how to get into a GP, or any clues as to how to see specialists?/ We are also young seniors so we are not on Medicare yet...
There are plenty of good doctors here near TV - just look outside of The Villages Healthcare.
I have been very satisfied with Premier Medical Group. Always get to see someone same day if needed. I also am pleased with Citrus Cardiology (who UHC Village plan does not allow you to go to). I have BC/BS Medicare.
