We've lived here for about a year and a half now. The problem with health care around here was explained to me as basically being the snowbird situation. Half the year, there aren't enough patients to attract quality doctors and the other half there are too many patients for the few doctors that are here. I was told that if it was a life threatening situation, do whatever you can to get to Gainesville. Ironically, several months later our primary care doctor referred my wife to his colleague who in turn referred her to another specialist who sent her to Gainesville where she got the treatment she needed.
