Yes, the quality of medical care here for the most part is very poor. Many doctors are not trained in the US, may or may not be board certified. It's dicey. Look your doctor up on HealthGrades or Vitals for information on him or her. If you have a problem getting a good diagnosis on something serious I would recommend going to Shands in Gainsville or some well trained physician in Orlando. As far as a hospital there is no way I would go to The Villages hospital or Leesburg. West Marion is probably the best that close by. Paramont urgent care on 441 is ok and the Ocala ER on 441 is pretty good - certainly better than the 8 hrs I have waited at the Villages Hospital ER.
