Gotta jump in here as I needed to find a provider fairly soon after we arrived here due to some medical issues that need routine monitoring. I was blessed to find people fairly quickly...not always an easy task in a new area, for sure. We live here permenantly and I don't have the ease to return back to where we came from...which would be nice but costly. I have to say..so far I've been impressed with the medical providers I've encountered. As someone shared here..."perhaps it is 'bread and butter' kinds of issues" and ne could/should go to a larger facility if needed for special issues. Having said that...the town we came from had a very good, but small hospital. We always utilized it even though within a 1/2 hour driving time there were 4 other much larger ones (one even a teaching hospital). Many in our town would opt for that drive but you know, I heard MORE stories of mistakes etc. re: those hospitals than I did from our smaller one. "IF" the doctor's felt a patient needed a specialist they would always refer them out. I'm very relaxed about choices here in our new home!!!!
