Had made arrangements back in early March to have an appintment with their Rheumatologist in order to have a local specialist along with my home state specialist to oversee my RA and my infusions while in Florida. Saw the specialist. Got the prescription and was referred to the Florida Cancer Center. They wanted me to see their doctor who is not a Rheumatologist and was told that doctor would decide what meds I would get. TVH will honor my specialist's prescription. In the meantime had to return to my home state to get my infusion.
SHOULD HAVE CHECKED WITH YOU FIRST! THANKS AGAIN.
Keep in mind that The Villages Specialty Center in Brownwood and TVRH are not the same organization.

So sorry you had to go back home for the infusion. A family member received a series of antibiotic infusions several years ago at TVRH. The staff there were wonderful and made it as pleasant an experience as possible.

I hope everything works out for you. So many new things to learn when you’re new here. I hope you’re doing well.
