We choose to go to a doctor at Villages Health when we first moved here. It took over two months to get our first appointments. From talking with some of our neighbors, I think it takes longer now. After that, we could get and an appointment the same day but almost always with an NP, but if the NP found something grave, our primary doctor joined the NP at the meeting. Appointments are just about always on time, and there is no rush to finish them.

My wife has had some severe health issues, and we feel our doctor and Villages Health has done an excellent job taking care of her. We have been satisfied with the Villages Health.

In any case, there are lots of doctors and groups of doctors down here, and it might take a few tries to find the one you want. We were lucky and liked our first choice, but I know some of our neighbors went through a couple of doctors before they found one they felt did a good job for them.
