Since I'll be going to Ocala Hospital the next time there is an emergency, I am looking for some recommendations for good docs there.
I'm looking for a Neurologist and Family Doc or Internist.
Thanks all!

Since I prefer MRMC in Ocala for emergencies, I would just check and see if your local doctor can work out of ORMC or MRMC. Mine does and made it a point to stop by every day to check on me.

However, if it is an emergency I have never had a problem with any of the doctors that work out of MRMC. After you get out of the hospital, you will have to see some of the doctors in their offices in Ocala. Not a big problem if you have a GPS to get you to their offices.

So there are 2 hospitals in Ocala? What do the initials stand for?
Thank you so much

We have found excellent doctors at Munroe in Ocala. Really not that far away. Some of their docs have offices in The Villages too. You can go and have a tour of the hospital and you can ask for info on all docs.

Sounds like you all aren't fond of TV hospitals?? If it is a true emergency, will TV ambulances take you all the way to Ocala??

By the way ....Munroe Regional has opened a Villages area OUT-patient facility.
@ 8550 NE 138th Lane. Lady Lake.32159. ( MRMC @ The Oaks @ 138th)
It is just off US-27 /441 ... BETWEEN Lowe's and Wal-Mart.
( kinda Behind ALDI's ) ..

They do.... Movement, -Memory, -Cardiac Rehab, -Audiology,
-LSVT_Parkinsons, -Physical Therapy_Orthopedic and General,
and LOTS of other things at this facility

....CAN get there via Golf Cart using Ron Brown's
path to Lowe's from The Villages....or Direct from Stonecrest..
...they are just over ONE-mile North of The Villages Hospital.

I am NOT affiliated with Munroe. But have been pleased with
their Ocala facilities and Services and Doctors.
.....but...I have done volunteer work for Munroe.
Yeah,.... I know........but The Villages Hospital told me......
they have "TOO MANY" Volunteers already. ...WHAZZUP WIT DIS ?

MRMC - Munroe Regional Medical Center - ORMC - Ocala Regional Medical Center (Not to be confused with ORMC - Orlando Regional Medical Center).

Actually MRMC and ORMC are across the street from each other.

And yes - the ambulance people will ask you where you want to go. You just say MRMC and off you go.
