I have gone to The Villages Health group since they opened their Doors (at least 10 years ago, or more). I have always been happy with my care. I have had a couple doctors that were not a good match for me and I asked the Manager to change me to someone else I chose and she did that. As for Medicare Advantage, I've had it many years with no problem. The thing is, you have to be careful which PLAN you choose. I always choose the PPO plan which means I can go to any doctor I please. I do not need a referral. Most of my doctors are in my Plan, only one is not, which means I have to pay $40 when I see him. Also, yes, you can go back to Medicare if you wish to switch. I did it for one year, had a supplement that cost me $300 a month, and at the end of that year I switched to UHC where I do not pay a monthly fee. I have been seen at three Health Centers (my Doctor moved and I followed her). All three have been very professional and competent. I don't have anything but praise for my care. At present, I am at the Santa Barbara Center. The Staff and Front Desk Ladies are excellent.
