You may or may not be able to see a specialist with The Villages Health if your insurance is through Medicare. I was denied access to their Neurologists, told that the Neurologists have decided to limit their practice to their Advantage patients. On the other hand, their audiologists are available to me and my husband sees a urologist.

I've also heard that Dr. Wright with UF Gainesville is top notch. If you want to be closer to home, Isaac Mitchell of UF Health (not The Villages Health System) gets good reviews. My husband injured an already repaired shoulder and saw him. In that case, nothing needed to be done. It eventually healed, but he liked the doctor.
