We have been here for 2+years and our perception is that Healthcare here is much worse than up north. Most Primary Care Physicians are actually RN's. Try to see a Doctor! Oh and once you are down here you will wait months to see any new Physician or Dentist etc. After finally being referred to a Specialist then another long wait....I once asked my RN (Doc) what to do when I want to see a doctor, she replied go to a urgent care or emergency room. Now to be fair, we have decided to stay. We feel the benefits of living in the Villages surpass the difficult health care situation down here. Besides, we can always find an "in system" Doctor up north , if we have to.
