I asked around right away (also thinking about horror stories of FL physicians) and was given Dr. Burris's name in Lady Lake. I see his nurse practioner, Sylvia Wallace. I've been very happy with that decision. She will refer me out to the people that address various issues (physical therapy etc)
I also asked around (at my church mostly) regarding a dentist. I heard good things about Laural Manor Dentistry (Dr. Still) and went there. Was VERY impressed with the care received!!
Have had some back issues so went to Dr. Daniel Spurrier's seminar and ultimately made an appointment with him and now am getting great care. He's conservative, NOT knife happy! I'm currently dealing with it through a pain management provider.
I'm sure there's a plethora of good providers here! As someone else stated as T.V. grows it will draw more "world-class" people and we'll have many to choose from that will have great qualifications. I always check where they were educated and what their credentials might say as well. The internet is a great way to do this checking!! Also IF you hear more than 3 or 4 complaints by word of mouth about someone...that would be a red-flag for me for sure!! A sour word here or there might just be just that--sour grapes.
