If you have an ongoing relationship with an orthopedic practice in Ocala which you trust, perhaps you should ask them about the doctors they trust. I can tell you that the opinion of a social worker who spent some time near the Villages and is now in the medical Mecca of Cincinnati may not be adequate to validate the quality of medical care. I doubt that a social worker in Cincinnati believes a physician who now lives in The Villages can judge the quality of social workers in Cincinnati based on a used to "work in Cincinnati" expertise.

Having said that, this is a rural area with health care that will not match the care available in a major medical center. But you are not going to die shoveling snow here. There are trade offs. If the quality of the doctors and hospitals is one of the top criteria for where you move, don't come here.
