If I end up not satisfied with Villages Health, I’m not opposed to going out to Leesburg or the Clermont/West Orlando area.

I am still on private insurance as well and use The Villages Health. My doctor is at Lake Deaton which is close to my house. She’s very good and I like being in the system. But at 65 I cannot use the advantage plans because most of my doctors are up North. So I’ll be looking elsewhere down here for a new primary. Not looking forward to losing my current doctor but do not want to be limited as to who I can see.
