Yea, that’s a bit far to go for a doctor or hospital

As far as the OP goes, you need to make a distinction between The Villages Healthcare and healthcare in the villages, or Florida for that matter. TVH is in the top 1% of health systems in the NATION, the #1 rated practice in north and central Florida, and has a 98% patient satisfaction rating (I guess the other 2% are on this thread) |

Many specialists will make u wait 1 hour just to be sure they don't .

It’s not you, it’s the medical fields mentality, in treating older patients and the system. I left Villages Health, after been treated so poorly by the staff. I never saw my doctor, just a nurse practitioner. My doctor now, just keeps prescribing me RX, that I don’t need. After 5 years, of seeing him at least 5 to 6 times year, he still doesn’t remember me or the RX he has prescribed to me. I have tell him.. it’s very disturbing. I’m seriously considering going back to my internist in Tampa.

No it is not unique. It is the medical field mentality, no matter which Clinic of Physicians you select. I left Villages Health, after been treated so poorly. My dr of 5 yrs barely remembers who I am, after demanding I follow up every 2 months, or what he’s already prescribed for me. It’s disconcerting and I’m seriously considering going back to my doctor in Tampa. All of the physicians in Lake, Marion and Sumter County abuse the healthcare system.

I moved from Minnesota and have been trying to find a DR. I had an appointment at the Village Specialty clinic. They wanted to do many tests. I called my primary care Dr. in Minnesota he said the tests were not necessary and only ordered because the insurance pays for them. They are revenue billing machines and not DR's. BEWARE!

I am not questioning, nor do I doubt, the statistics you cite but I do wonder where I could look at those data in the interest of learning what else is there regarding other issues. Thanks.

Not what we experienced. Very pleased with our doctor.

Dr Clarissa Abrantes
is not affiliated with TV. At my initial visit, she was warm, welcoming and fully informed about my history. I was so impressed with her preparation for my visit. I never saw a PA until her partner died, and now I see her PA occasionally for routine things, and I am also impressed with her professionalism. I have been extremely happy with my treatment from everyone in the office. When I visited Quest for my bloodwork, I was asked if I had my orders. I replied that Dr Abrantes' office was supposed to send them. The tech replied that her office staff is very good about sending orders in advance. I'm sure Dr. Abrantes took on most of her partner's patients, so I don't know if she is accepting new patients at this time.

Just say no to unnecessary testing and office visits. They push for 6 month follow ups but you don't have to do it.
