My thoughts and prayers with you on your health issues.

We bought here in 2008. I always wanted to live in Florida, and thought, to hell with it, I'm going and they can bury me here if that's what it takes.

Anyway, we are still part-timers (trying to get here fulltime, maybe soon), and I use my doctors at the "other house". I've not seriously looked hard in TV for medical care but I have visited an Urgent Clinic and an Endicrinologist.

I'd rate both as "fair to good". I think the docs here I've met are well qualified and do the right clinical thing. I don't get the feeling there is a lot of compassion, is what I'll call it. A genuine personal interest. Does that make sense?

The forum here has a lot of info on docs. If you move here, use that plus use your neighbors and references too.

I think the health care is adequate here. Like all the infrastructure around, I believe TV is growing faster than the services, so it's a bit hectic, but just plan and work it and it's ok.

In summary. I'd suggest you do what's best for you, but I wouldn't delay a move here due to health facilities. They're probably about the same here as everywhere when it all comes down. You have to research and find the right docs for you. Best wishes...

Thanks John, your info is a great help.
