I went to the ER at that beautiful hospital on Rte 441, called ""The Villages Regional Hospital"". It was not a good experience. Slow, inept, and unmotivated is the best way to describe my experience. I was finally diagnosed with a Kidney Stone, I was in a lot of pain, and got no pain meds for 3 hours. It did not appear to be very busy, so i don't know what the delay was. Just read the attached post to see other opinions of the Health Care System here in the Villages..........it is NOT a "SYSTEM".
ER at The Villages Hospital |
There was a review on here about 3 months ago, a Villager also had some stone problems, but he went to the new free standing ER on 441 just south of Market of Marion, near the entrance to Del Webb Spruce Creek. It has an operating room and fully staffed and this fellow said he was getting help within 30 minutes. On the front page of their website, it has posted wait time at this moment: 3 minutes.
