Most folks go by word of mouth to find their providers here. But don't jump on the 1st name(s) that come as what one finds to be "good" another wouldn't. I felt very blessed to have found a nurse practioner as my primary, by the name of Sylvia Wallace, ARNP, whose in the Lady Lake Family Medicine practice on 466 just past Rolling Acres Rd. With her is Dr.John Burress, D.O. #259-7994. I've seen both and have been very happy. They don't rush you through so you feel like a number and it's a very friendly office.

Another provider I've heard is good---but haven't seen---is Dr. Kalpana Desai, M.D. She too is a family practioner and is on Old Camp Rd., Lake Sumter Landing and this is golf-cart accessable Her # is 259-6949..

Before coming down get "hard copies" of all your meds to bring with you. If you're going to be "snow flakes" perhaps choosing a pharmacy that's national, like Walgreens would be a great choice then all your info is easy to obtain no matter where you are.

Also I want to concur with the other post that talked about Urgent Care facilities here. Paramount is a great one...it's the one on 466. You can go there for most issues that are "daily run of the mill" issues...such as sinus infections, flu, injuries...nothing that would be Life Threatening!

Best wishes with your move and assimulating into LIFE here in The Villages!!
