I agree with the comments above, we had to leave Villages health when they changed their policy to ONLY the 3 ADVANTAGE plans and no Medicare& supplemental. The urgent care facilities seem to be very good and have much longer hours than VHS, do NOT use the ER 'to see a doctor', you will probably have a long wait, and you may be subjected to surprise costs. You may be able to find a primary care doctor, but you will need to contact them early, and schedule your initial meeting shortly after you arrive, otherwise, you may have 1 month or more wait just for the initial visit.
