Not surprised.
Most offices schedule semi-annual exams for 2 or 3 consecutive appointment slots to give time for a complete physical exam. That could be why there was a long wait to reschedule. Sick appointments or same day appointments are generally easier to schedule because they only take 1 appointment slot. Almost every physician office leaves several slots free each day for sick appointments that are scattered throughout the day. Sounds like you'll just have to wait it out.

He can order blood tests each time and monitor your overall health, including things that have NO symptoms, like high cholesterol, high sugar, low levels of some things like Vitamin D, thyroid function and he can also check your vital signs for silent signs of cardiovascular problems. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, particularly if you are over 70 years old. |

It couldn’t have been with a primary doctor as they or someone will see you right away. It had to be with a specialist that take patients from all types of insurance not just Villages Health.

Doctors With Long Waits
The "other side" of this is that I have found doctors who have openings in a "reasonable" time are not well-regarded. In fact, if I knew the name of the doctor you were happy with, I would try to get on that doctor's list. I certainly was not happy with the first doctor I saw at the Villages Health Care (I will not mention the name, out of kindness to the octogenarian doctor) although I could easily book an appointment with him without a long wait. Did you know each health care center has a nurse practitioner who works with the doctors there and you can see her/him - usually that very day, or at the latest the day after you call for an appointment. I've found nurse practitioners often give quite superior care.

On snorted note regarding village Health Care. I came here looking forward to becoming part of the system after hearing about all the good doctors. Upon applying I was refused due to my current insurance, which happens to be military insurance as my secondary. I asked if that was discriminating against veterans and was informed all I had to do was change my insurance. Why would I do that when many years of dedication went in to earning that insurance. I think the village health care system is slamming veterans. Grandy
