As a long-time patient (at least 7 years) of Dr. Villa, I feel that I must add my two cents, here.
She is not only my primary physician, but also my Pulmonolgist, taking care of both my emphysema and my sleep apnea.
I like her a lot, personally. We always do a "hand bump" when I see her.
She has been in practice here for many years. But, she is not really very savvy as a business woman; many of her innovative concepts for care failed dismally.
Her office staff is, admittedly, mostly Filipino, and often related to her. For some time, many of her operations were actually based in Manila.
The office in Southern Trace was wonderful for me, as it was golf cart accessible. But, it became a financial drain, so she closed it.
The office on Buenos Aires has been undergoing many systems "upgrades" over the past year. I am not convinced that procedures have improved; it may be too early to tell. However, folks should know that I have almost never been seen at the appointment time, whether it's to see Dr. Villa, herself, or just for a shot or whatever.
Most of us know that that is one one of today's medical-care problems. I am seriously considering moving my primary care to the soon-to-open Villages Heath Care office at Lake Sumter Landing.
