They are managing their pennies at that place. Recently while trying to set up an appointment I was asked if I had been in any accidents. I am thinking they are trying to find people they can refer to their legal group.

I may have to drive all the way to Tampa or Gainesville for good Doctors.

The medical care here in the villages is not what I am use to in other places.
I too have been subject to aggressive marketing from Premier Medical. I love my primary care doctor there, but the office staff leaves a lot to be desired. For example: (1) When I called last week to schedule an appointment with my primary care doc, the woman taking my call told me that I MUST see their dermatologist. I told her I already have a dermatologist and didn’t want a different one; to which she replied “no, you must see ours.” I said no again, but she wasn’t taking “no” for an answer. We went back and forth like that a half dozen times until she finally gave up. (2) I have also had emails show up in my email account unexpectedly telling me Premier staff scheduled an (unrequested) appointment for me at a certain date and time. These are appointments I never asked for. Where do they come off scheduling me for appointments I did not request? Sounds more like a subpoena than an appointment. I have to waste my time trying to cancel them. (3) Premier hired a house physician who was arrested for beating a woman. I don’t think he’s there anymore, but I’m not sure.
