We also have our own VA Medical Facility, it opened in 2010 and is fairly large, I believe it is maxed out at 16,000 patients. You might have to wait a few months before they will assign you a doctor. The hospital is in Gainesville, which is about an hour + 15 min via mostly I-75. My neighbor who is 100% disabled E-9 was taken to the hospital by ambulance 3 years ago. He was then sent over to Leesburg Hospital where they performed open heart surgery and the VA paid everything for him.
I've been going to the VA clinic and hospital since 2011. They're pretty good for the most part, sometimes they foul up. I had one doctor at the Villages clinic that took me off Plavix because my stent was put in over 18 months ago, he didn't know their was two kinds of stents, chemical and metal. I have chemical which requires Plavix for life, and I then had to go to the Gainesville hospital for angioplasty. That was in 2011 and that doctor was removed immediately from the clinic.
