My wife is currently seeing one of the docs at Advanced Urology (with whom we are really pleased). On Friday he explained to us that the issue that influenced their decision was "on call" requirements. Given where the docs in the practice live, mostly in Ocala or south of Leesburg, it had become very difficult for them to cover "on call." Docs would often have to travel from Leesburg to TV then on to Munroe and back again to cover consults. This made it hard on them and difficult to give the time that the consults required. Now the docs who live south will cover Leesburg and those north will cover Munroe. He didn't indicate that there was any particular problem with TV Hospital and actually had some positive things to say about it. It all came down to helping the docs meet the needs of their patients while not running ragged themselves. By the way, my wife required a procedure that was done at Monroe and we were pleased with the services there. Advanced plans to continue providing services in their Villages office.
