If any "south of Sumter" options aren't satisfactory for you, I'll toss Dr. Waldo at the Villages Health center at Santa Barbara Blvd, which is right next door to the Villages Regional Hospital campus on 441.

She's terrific, and her recommendations aren't based on whatever brand she's selling. She is more familiar with some brands over others of course - all doctors are more familiar with certain procedures, medications, treatments. But when I told her I was considering a brand other than the one she recommended, she had high praise for it, and was more than happy to discuss the pros and cons and comparisons of each.

The brand I'm selecting has certain features that I really like, that the other one doesn't have. The other brand has certain features that this brand doesn't have, but I'm not interested in those features. So it came down to which boxes I needed to check off my list, and it came down to the brand she originally recommended.

She also is price-matching with my discount plan, even though she isn't a provider on that plan.
