Default Good Dr. accepting new patients?

My husband and I are new to the area, and need to find a new Internal Med/Family Practice physician in the Lady Lake (or nearby) area. I have had one referral from a neighbor (who is also a physician) to Dr. Steven Rivers - his web site claims to be accepting new patients - but they are not accepting new patients. As a retired Nurse, I'd prefer a physician who is proactive about preventative medicine, but not inclined to order unnecessary tests simply out of curiousity, or to line someone's pockets with $$. We have BC/BS PPO, and are not on Medicare yet. Suggestions or personal recommendations? IMPORTANT: primary language: English, easy to understand, kind, compassionate, acute care visits easy to schedule.
