Thank you for your advice. The primary reason we moved to The Villages was our preception of outstanding health care being readily available here. So far, in our four years here, we have moved through four primary care doctors after finding that their standards of care are not what we are looking for. By contrast, when we lived in Hawaii, we used the same primary care doctor for the six years we were there, and before moving to Hawaii, we used the same primary care doctor for more than ten years.

In view of advancing age and medical issues, we want to find a doctor here that meets our needs for conscientious care and communication skills. For most medical issues, we resort to the Urgent Care at Lake Sumter, but would still like to have a continuing medical relationship with one primary doctor who views us as elderly people who need medical assistance, not as mere money machines.
