It must really be getting bad.
I switched to Humana a couple of years ago for the dental, after they told me Villages would take it, then discovered the lie after it was too late to switch back. So we used PMA for a couple of years, and although we liked the doctor, the staff was so incompetent that we were already thinking about switching when we heard they'd been busted for Medicare fraud. So we switched to a different doctor this year, at Orlando Health. It was the first time I have ever encountered a doctor who seemed mad at me for bothering her (after waiting a month for a new patient appointment). No wonder the waiting room was a ghost town. So we decided to go back to Villages. But while we were gone, our previous doctor had quit, and when I looked up the only doctor taking new patients on the Northside, I discovered a Wisconsin native with an unpronounceable name, who graduated from some lousy medical school in the Caribbean with a reputation for selling degrees. Worst part -- he'd lost his Wisconsin certification for writing fake prescriptions.
It's crazy! You'd think every doctor in the country would want to work in a town where both the average age and the average annual temperature is 72! Why is this so hard?
