We were just in the same boat!! Difficult not knowing anyone and having had the same GP for the past 40 years! I have had an appointment with Dr. Jose Rosado at the Florida Heart and Vascular Center near the hospital. He was recommended by a couple who had been going to him for years. I had to wait about a month to get an appointment but I really liked him.

Can't help you with cancer doctor but for a GP we went to Dr. Jeffrey Robinson who is with the same network as Dr. Rosado. He is in Leesburg and The Villages so you have to specify which location. My husband liked him very much but I'm not so sure about him. He seems capable and has about 30 years experience but something about his bedside manner doesn't sit just right with me. Could be just me!

I have a 2nd opinion scheduled next Monday with Dr. Abrantes 352 259-7900 who is highly recommended on TOTV.

Good luck! This is one of the most traumatic things about the moves but I'm sure once we have someone we feel comfortable with we'll feel more settled.
