Remember, when you move down here you have to replace all your providers at once. You probably had a cadre of providers from back home that took you many years to develop. When you do it all at once, some will click, some will not.

I'm on my second dentist (first overcharged and overtreated) and second GP (first left town). Other providers I have found by word of mouth and TOTV.

You and Gracie...both expressed what I earlier tried to express! For the size of this "town" the amount of doctors, to me is large!! It's true that it can be over-whelming to both move and also get set-up with health-care all at once. Especially since many of us have issues that really need constant attention (I know I do). I just feel blessed that I have the providers that I do and really can't complain too much at all. I've had the cadre of having an emergancy ambulance ride, a stint in the ER, admission to the hospital, have had several medical imaging procedures and more and still I will say it's mostly been positive experiences!
