Ever since we became Villagers in 2005, there has been a general consensus that The Villages does not have the best hospital or the best doctors. Not everyone believes that but the majority does.

For that reason, I was hesitant choosing a primary care physician when we moved here. Then I became ill and had no choice but to go to Urgent Care for treatment. I told the Urgent Care doctor of my dilemma...not knowing where to go to find a good general physician. I was advised, by this Urgent Care physician, to go outside The Villages and was given names of 3 doctors elsewhere.

I researched all 3 and chose one. I have to drive about 30 minutes to his office but it's worth every mile. He is not only a doctor with great pr, but he also takes his time with me, doesn't rush my appointment, talks to me in layman terms, and is very thorough.

I put my faith in the Urgent Care physician and was led to a doctor I trust.
