I owned a medical practice management company for years and could see the handwriting on the wall when we received the change or else notice last year. When the notice came this year to change or else I found a new physician with Florida Heart Specialists. They have internal medicine physicians as well as heart and sleep disorder physicians. There are several offices in and close to TV and, as of a week ago, they still had some new patient openings. I'm sure those slots will fill up when the snow birds arrive so I wouldn't wait too long before finding another physician.
This move will probably hurt The Villages Healthcare system for a while but eventually newcomers to the area will fill the appointment books. Personally I feel this has placed a blemish on the reputation of TV.
