I talked to a real estate salesman from the area a few days ago and he said medical care including the 200 bed hospital in the villages area was excellent.
I see many unhappy posts posted here. Am I missing something?

We have some of the best medical hospitals in the country within a 4 hour drive here, Harvard, Brigham, Mass general, and Columbia Pres.
I have some major health issues since comming out of a long coma and need quality medical care / treatment etc. I am fairly active and retired .

Any recommendations or advise ??

P.S. We will drive down there the end of next week .

Excelence is like beauty....... in the eye of the beholder. We have been here almost 2 years and are still trying to find the right Drs. for us. One of the major problems you will find for most physicians in the area is that they have 2 or 3 offices in various locations. If you need to see your Dr. on any given day, chances are he/she will be at one of the alternate locations. If you are a veteran, the VA Clinic at the north edge of TV is very good in my opinion. They have been to me at least. However, if you need surgery, they can't handle it there. I recently had to go to Lake City VA Hospital for surgery on my foot.
