As a 100% service connected vet I'm a Priority 1. As a snowbird I had to make a choice as to where I would have my primary care. After visiting The Villages clinic I decided to keep my primary up north. The Villages clinic is new, modern and still in its infancy. It'll be great someday but it's nowhere near fully staffed right now.
Had I decided to transfer my primary care to TV, I too would have been on a waiting list for a primary care doc.
While down here if I need medical help I was told to go to the urgent care dept. at the local clinic
Those with service connected disabilities can always get treatment for those issues regardless of where their primary care physician is located.
