I'll second that emotion about Sylvia. I would have followed her when she left Lady Lake, but instead of going to Colony she was switched to the Family Doctors of Belleview at the Sharon Morse Bldg. (a Villages Health System Partner) Although I was called twice to see if I wanted to go to her, I decided to wait and see about Colony since I was so close to there I could ride my mobility scooter there if I wanted to.

As it turned out we selected Dr. Noel at Colony HCC, and after both of us seeing her twice we decided we liked her and to stay there. I've never experience a doctor that spent as much time with us as Dr. Noel on our first two appointments did getting to know us and our health particulars. I think the first appointment alone reached over an hour even though it was supposed to be 45 minutes.

While mentioning the Colony Center, I can't speak enough about how friendly and efficient ever body was at that location on my first 6 visits to the center. If this is any indication of how these centers are going to operate, villagers have a lot to look forward to with them.

BTW, I would have posted this info earlier, but IIRC the OP did not live within the seven villages Colony covered. And as for Dr. Pead... is it possible gocubsgo had a bad experience because Dr Pead was under a lot more pressure with the practice he came from? I don't know, but I do know that most doctors at other practices generally have double the patient load than doctors will have at these new Villages Health Care Centers. Just a thought!
