We used Dr. Long and really liked him, but had to leave when VHS changed their insurance requirements, we are not willing to give up Medicare for a managed advantage plan. Also, there was a lack of specialists and long waiting times for appointments. However, if you are happy with VHS, Dr. Long (colony) was very good.

Thanks. Appreciate your input. Have heard other good things about him.

There are many specialists now, waits are not that long. The managed health care plan works extremely well for us. I go to Boston 4 times a year for specialized treatment, all covered. We go to Colony but not going to recommend doctor because not all people fit well with a particular doctor. Seen several doctors there, all experiences have been good.
