You will find many opinions about physicians, so you might want to do some research. The State of FL has a lot of information on physicians - license information, law suits, med schools, training. Satisfy yourself that you are selecting a physician whose skills and training will match your needs.

If you want to get an appointment for a physical in July, I would urge you to select an internist first. That internist should also be able to refer you to the specialists, or at least provide you with the names of several you might contact.

You'll get many recommendations from others here. My wife and I worked in healthcare for more than 40 years, so we have our own criteria for selection.

You should be fine with your insurance plans, but ask the physicians office when you call for the first time. Do not wait for a visit to get there and run into a problem.

And last but not least, welcome to TV. it's a wonderful place.
