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.

Actually I may be rethinking my review of Dr. Rosado. I had some cardio issues since I have seen him and called Wed morning to see if I could make arrangements to see him asap. Was told I could see him at 3 p.m. but I'd have to go to Leesburg. I jumped at the chance as I felt I needed to be seen but on my way to Leesburg the office called me and said I could NOT see Dr. Rosado as he was not in Leesburg and they did not know when he would be there but I could see a PA in the office or I could see Dr. Rosado at a later date but it would be much later. I agreed to see the PA and she was very nice but I don't feel comfortable with a PA for my symptoms. BTW I got to the office in Leesburg early and several patients were coming in to see Dr. Rosado and being called back so I assume he was there afterall.
Also, I have glaucoma and did a lot of research to find a specialist when we moved here and wound up seeing Dr. Schramm at Lange Eye. He did a good workup and sent me home with a bottle of eye drops with orders to come back in a month to check the pressure. My appointment was set for August 4. Last week the Lange office called and said Dr. Schramm would no longer be coming to the Villages office and I'd have to go to Ocala to see him but they could make me an appointment with another doctor in their office but it would be October before I could be seen!! I just declined and started over with my search for another Opthamologist in The Villages. Hope my eye pressure is ok until I can find someone!
I want a DOCTOR that I can count on being there when I need one!
Is that too much to ask?
