After finally finding a doctor that I felt good about, I got the extortion letter. Now I'm back to looking for a good primary care physician. I had such good, experienced doctors and specialists in my previous home area. I'm seriously considering driving back there once a year for checkups/procedures.

There are numerous competent physicians in the area of TV if you do your homework and the right research. If you don't like the physicians here, there are superb docs in Gainesville, Orlando, and Tampa. But you still have to do your homework.

It's no different than in any other community where you might live, except we are not an urban area and have fewer to select from.
