I went to UF Leesburg last summer for a cardiac issue, and they were fine. Wait wasn't unexpectedly long. The tests ordered were reasonable. Results communicated clearly, and the plan of care was reasonable. Ultimately, I had my surgery up north because that's where my primary cardiologist was, and Upstate NY is pretty in the summer
. I've seen several doctors while living here, and they've all be fine and responsive. Check backgrounds, get input from friends, get established as a patient before you "need" them for something, and see how they do; you can always change if they're not a good fit for you! I suspect you'll find that, just like up north, there are the hospitals you want to go to for cardiac but not cancer, ortho but not GI, etc. After nearly 40 years in healthcare, I've seen doctors, nurses, services within the same hospital that range from excellent to "hell no!" Be your own ACTIVE advocate, get informed about your care and care plan, communicate your concerns, bounce things off your PCP to get their opinion, speak with the hospital's Patient Advocate about concerns, and don't just lay there like a sponge hoping.
