I'm sure the Villages hospital is a good hospital for certain things but I'm really surprised with over 100,000 retirees here that they don't have a heart ward & do heart surgeries here. When I first moved here I had a 5 way heart bypass & that's when the flu was in full swing. I had an issue with something I had done with my bypass, not real serious. My heart Dr. told me not to even catch a cold. (virus) I told the receptionist that & she wanted me to stay in the waiting room & at that time there were 3 people there that had the flu & came in with puke buckets. Needless to say I won't ever come back to The Village hospital unless it's an absolute emergency. Oh yea, the Dr. I saw was a PA & he did absolutely nothing, seriously nothing! Got a bill from from them for almost $4,000, I did have to pay anything after my wife & I talked to the CEO of the hospital. The CEO about had a heart attack when we told her what happened.
