If anyone has wonderful doctors for all different health problems, I would be happy to hear them.

I understand your feelings about the health care here. In general I miss Cincinnati where we previously lived. Of course Cincinnati was a much bigger area with the excellent University of Cincinnati Medical School.
The problem lies in how to attract physicians of the kind of experience you speak of.
The expansion of the Villages Hospital's size is in the works but I don't know if it will help. I think that most of us being on medicare may be a minus, and the future changes due to the new health care law may not be good either. That is JUST my unsubstantiated opinion at this time and it can be changed.
That said I have an excellent endocrinologist, Dr. Fish. There are some well trained opthamologists with Ocala Eye. I am satisfied with Dr. Casper as a dermatologist, but the jury is still out on our PCP. We have switched once and may switch again.
