I have been a nurse practitioner for over 25 years and have practiced in too many states to mention.
I moved here because my folks are here part of the year ! The sad reality is the number of patients per doctor ratio is limited. The Volume load is unrealistic and the Emergency situation personally scares me. I LOVE the Villages, my neighbors the best ever. The patients my favorite ever ! Sadly however I feel the care is great if you have a Medicare plan that you can go anywhere Without. A referral. If you are healthy you can’t compare your situation to others. Be thankful you are blessed. Many patients are unaware of the lacking skills of routine practitioners. I would rather work in an A environment rather than s subpar one. I wish I could not write this but be judgmental of your care. Research guidelines. You can trust that all the providers are 1. Board certified
2. Penalised for referrals
3 seeing way too many patients a day
Im not even talking about one practice in particular. These are my personal views on my experiences as an experienced practitioner
With that said I continue to support life here it is paradise. Please just don’t be blind. What the author said is often correct here
I am a patient advocate , I love this community. I hope one day the services improve for health care ! Sometimes Gainesville doesn’t help if you need an ER.
