So many opinions, so little time. Remember the days when purchasing a new home here was had to be made in a two hour window? Pressure, yes! But searching for the right physician and hospital facility for yourself and spouse can be just as pressure filled. We have been here almost four years, in that time both my wife and I have used TV hospital, once for an emergency when my wife fell and broke her right arm and dislocated the elbow which resulted in surgery in Leesburg by a well know Ortho man right here in TV, which resulted in further surgery due to his incompetence at Shands hospital in Gainesville months later due to the wrong prosthesis he inserted into her arm. I was recently hospitalized at TV for Cardiac Stents, three of them, placed in arteries around my heart. Having said all of this, there are a few personal opinions I can offer: Unless you have a true, serious, emergency head to Leesburg Hospital or Munroe in Ocala. I have lost faith in our hospital here. When trying to get my wife looked at for her broken arm in the E room here, I was the one the X-ray tech had put on a leaded cover to hold the X-ray plate against her arm so the tech could do her work. Also, when taking cardiac rehab at TV recently, a nurse told me the facade was falling down all over the hospital and looks do not make up for incompetence.
