Best doctor in The Villages Health?
Ok folks, I need everyone to give their input!! If you are, or have been, a patient of The Villages Health please tell me who you think is the best? What doctor will LISTEN to your concerns and help? Not just say "well, your labs are normal" Thanks in advance :)

What centers are you closest to? Then call and see who,is taking new patients. Maybe some have, but I have heard only good about all,of the docs. We go,to Colony. My husband is very impressed with Dr Jordahl. I like Dr Ollivarre. A friend goes to Dr Riley at Sumter and really likes him. Everyone seems to like their doc. If a personality conflict , easy to change. Go to the Villages Health Website. You can see and hear them speak.

I have no way to compare, only have gone to 1 PCP in Villages Health, so cannot answer your question. As stated above you may not be able to pick a doctor, as some may already be at capacity. Also, if you are new to the health care system, you must be a member of the villages ADVANTAGE plan, as they are not accepting conventional Medicare supplemental plans.
Hope this helps. |
I do not know how the average resident could answer such a question. Beside which the best of the best can't operate at optimum 24/7/365 its just humanly impossible

Many will opine, and eventually, certain names will come up again and again as being a doctor who is excellent, by numerous consistent reviews. Likewise, doctors to avoid will come up repetitively, too. But from what I see, I and many other are extremely pleased with all or most of the TVHealth primary doctors and the specialist referrals. I'd be surprised if names came up of drs to avoid there. |
The best doctor to go to is the one I go to of course....:)

So the consequences for such recommendations can be subtle until the reckoning occurs. |
I have gone through three doctors in five years and finally have found a great doctor with all requirements. Its Dr, Nguyen. Un fortunately we are leaving the Villages Health care because of enrollment restrictions.

Your first appointment last an hour. All questions are answered and a printout of what concerns you expressed and recommendations are given to you, upon checking out. One could always access their health portal for blood work before seeing the doctor and discussing anything that didn't come into the acceptable range and what that entails. I go to Dr Rosenblum at the Santa Barbara facility and I think he is excellent! Everyone will like their doctor and most people are very happy with the level of care they receive at the Villages Health Care system. BTW - There will be isolated instances of complaints on TOTV and things not done to one's personal satisfaction. |
We live near Mulberry Grove and we both See Dr Michael Wald. He listens and is a very compassionate person. He retired to the Villages and continues to practice in the Villages Health system.

We are in the Villages system and are not happy with our PCP for various reasons. So we are looking to change also. Can you change any time?

Our Doctor, Dr. Horner, retired last year and we both, my wife and I, had to find new ones. I liked Dr. Horner but I really, really like my new doctor (Vogt in the Belleview office) He and his team are very good at listening. I have had quite a few skin cancers and Dr. Vogt does the excisions himself for me. Anyway, I like him enough that I'm going to give up my Federal BCBS insurance and go with United just to stay his patient. Oh, and I believe he's accepting new patients too.

Dr. David Jordahl at Colony Health Center. But, of course, he's only available if you have the insurance The Villages Health requires you to have.

IMHO, you're making a critical decision giving up your FEP. I'd think long and hard about this. What if this doctor leaves? Good luck. |
In re-reading posts some use the word "like" my doc. I try not to confuse "like" with actual performance. Notice I didn't say results.
Dr Rosenblum was one of the treating physician for my Mom and Dad back home. My family, relatives etc spoke highly of all the doctors associated with this practice. compassionate caring dedicated and knowledgeable people . Well respected practice in this community |
From personal experience, Dr. Smita Ojha at Creekside and Dr. Lisa Sahai at Mulberry. Top notch all the way around!
|
I suspect they all are good. I know mine is.
|
Dr. Nguyen at Colony is awesome. I've been a satisfied patient of hers, so much that my husband also switched to her. I never leave the office with questions she didn't answer. She also prints up a summary of the questions/answers and any other information she can regarding questions. She is extremely knowledgeable and her doctor/patient interaction goes above and beyond any doctor I've ever had.
