I've worked with healthcare professionals for 36 years. I am EXTREMELY picky about my PCP. I stay with UHC-Advantage insurance because I am so impressed with my PCP at The Villages Health.
You had a bad experience. But that doesn't mean the entire TVH system is bad. As I've said, I know many people who are very happy with their PCP at TVH. One person I know worked in a teaching hospital and she is very pleased with her TVH PCP.
I would never be complacent and if I felt I wasn't getting top notch care I would go elsewhere.

Good and Bad
 

We have had our share of Medical disappoints in the Villages and promising good things.
In my opinion there is a lot of "keep them coming back for the money!" strategy! We had a
terrible mis diagnosis which had us go to Mayo who saved the life and we have been going to Mayo ever since as our major medical source. Use local Doctors as indicators. Good is that we saw the beginning of some serious improvements in the Village Hospital. Or course it is not at a rating of 4 or 5 but climbing the scale. Since Shands became involved the staff is much better. I understand they are using the Hospital to train nurses. Also heard that Interns may be coming to the Hospital. The ER had improved both in attention and care. The tools needed by the Staff are unfortunately scarce and that includes technology, equipment, supplies, etc. Hopefully all of this is indictive of a new era for The Village Hospital.:popcorn:

Thanks as I worked at Mass General up in Boston before I came down here and am just used to a high level of medical treatment. I will no longer use people here in the villages nor their hospital

I sincerely wish The Villages hospital all the best especially for the benefit of those here in the villages that have to use it. Time to go outside here for everything.

So far I have received very good, and professional treatment from the villages health system.
