The link would not post, so you might try looking up Dr. James Young III at Health grades. Hope this is of some help. Good luck!

I sense part of the OP's problem is that her dad does not drive and she doesn't either. Or doesn't have a car here. Transportation is available here; rental car or taxi.

Transportation really not the issue nor insurance. The issue getting an appointment fast and the fact staff doctor didn't have proper equipment. After many phone calls and being very persistent I got him an appointment for today. Hopefully this will work out.

Who took your appointment, Advanced or Lake ? Thanks and good luck.

[claricecolin]

Advanced has nothing before 2/8. Lake declines to see him.
North fl urology could see him today. Scheduled all needed tests between now and 2/12.

2/8 is a week.........

Why did Lake decline to see him?

Glad he is being seen. Hope he is feeling well very soon.

[claricecolin]

All testing will be done by 12th. Advanced wouldn't get started to 8th. My son, his grandson, getingetting married 2/16. If there w as any chance of him not having to travetravel with catheter I wanted that done.

Lake have no reason for declining they do not have to.

There may be no qualified urologists practicing within this area. Specialists are not employed directly by hospitals unless they are large teaching hospitals. They are granted privileges as I understand it. Is that your understanding?

There is a service I just read on this Forum called "Jewish Mother Transportation, perhaps since you have no transportation, this company could take you and your dad to a urologist out of the area?

GG, you are correct. One of the benefits of having a primary care physician is that they can ease the referral process for a patient. My primary care handles any referrals he thinks I need.

Advanced Urology is a large Urology practice on Cnty Rd 103, just north of WalMart off 466. I believe the OP said she isn’t satisfied with the waiting time for an appointment. I do believe the have the ability to perform urodynamics testing though.

It’s a great group of physicians. I think they have 7-8 urologists at that location alone. I would recommend Mark Dersch, MD.

Once again, his PCP only could recommend advanced or lake. He was unable to expedite an appointment which is what I needed. Therefore I had to do it myself. After nearly a week of calling got Advanced to move up appt from end of March to Feb 8. Persisted and got another appt elsewhere for today. That was key as I knew initial appt would be needed before testing could be done. I gained a week instead of having to put this all of until after wedding. If lucky Dad won't have to travel with catheter and I don't have to cancel my own appts.

I've said it before. This place is a joke unless you are established in Villages Health, been here a while, and are healthy. I came from Colorado where the system I was in was unreal. I was seen on time, every time, even with multiple specialists. A central phone number or Email to make appointments. Uniform records so anyone I saw had my complete medical history. Thats with cancer therapy and three specialties. I could email any dr I saw with questions. A 24 hr nurse hotline. This place is turning into a joke. No wonder good physicians are quitting. Medicare and Medicaid are driving the show. I am ****ed as I have gotten the runaround from any office I visit and usually sit there for 1-2 hours after scheduled. And I DON't complain all the time but it is getting OLD.
