It is confusing as to why people who have serious or mini serious medical problems don't go to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. There is also the Moffit Medical service in Tampa, and so on. A lot look for the best resturant but are reluctant to go to the best when there are medical problems. Over the last years we have been to Lahey Clinic in Arlington, Mass, Mayo, Cleveland linic, Moffet and MD Anderson in Houston. We have had some serious medical problems in the past and refuse to settle for a second rate Dr. or Hospital when there are great ones available. There are web sites that will identify where the best treatment is available for some specific problems. We have a great Urgent Care in Lake Sumter and they can treat the normal daily problem and are willing to direct patients to other facilities if they would be better for treatment. That is an indication of a great Urgent Care.
In addition to the above there is the Westchester Medical Center in NY and the Albany Medical Center in New York. I am sure the West Coast has their share of good medical facilities. Also John Hopkins which gets high marks. It is interesting that some new medical facilities will open in The Villages but they are not a teaching hospital. Essentially they are like Urgent Cares
and maybe in some cases not as good as an Urgent Care that sees so many different medical issues each day. Last point..Where do the Dr's go when they or their family need attention? Just some thoughts..
