There is no professional courtesy between existing urology practices and any Dr with Villages hospital. 6 weeks for New patient visit is not going to work. Catheter is just suppose to stay in until then?
I spoke to patient services at hospital that was another exercise in frustration. She didn't realize hospital nor Leesburg hospital didn't have urology dept. This is simply not acceptable.

While it may not be as convenient, there are many hospitals and physicians and specialists outside TV.
We make use of a couple of our specialist needs in Ocala.
The "captive audience" dynamic is ever present in TV.....we have found just does not exist in places nearby.
If you do not have standard medicare and a supplement, you may not have the ability to go anywhere you choose.
