Does anyone out there know of a good G.P.in or near the Villages?

I'm also looking for a recommendation good G.P. near here. How about it fellow TOTV'ers? Anyone like their doctor and is willing to share?

Do GPs even exist anymore? I found a very nice and, by reputation good, internist. I have only seen her once and I have another appt with her on Monday. Several of the ladies in the neighborhood recommended her. Her name is Dr. Yelamanchi and she is in Laurel Manor professional buildings area. 391-5900

I use Dr. Romulo Camagliano on 441. He is very pleasant, and listens to your concerns. First met with him this June, and found him to be as thorough as any doctor I had up north. He does have a thick accent, but I understood every word.

I also recommend Dr. Romulo Camogliano. He's the third doctor I went to. He's the only one of the three who actually read through my new patient questionnaire during my first visit and questioned me on some of the entries and expressed a sincere interest in my health. Have recommended others to him and they have also liked him.

Dr. David Hunt, DO
 

To handyman and Richie,

I have a new doctor by the name of David Hunt. He's located in one of the Laurel Manor professional buildings, across from the Laurel Manor recreational center. And, of course, it's on Laurel Manor Drive.

Being in good health, I will only see him yearly for my physical. (I had my first physical by him a few months ago.) Therefore, I can't tell you whether or not he can cure anything. :shrug: But he seems like a nice fellow with a good sense of humor. :)

I like Clarissa Abrantes. She has an office in Mulberry and Laurel Manor! Top notch bedside manner.

I dumped two GP so far looking for one associated with the Munro system

We three are on a waiting list for a family physician...and if I were a really NICE person I would tell you who. There are 200 on the list ahead of us and the nurse said that would be about 18 months.

What do you suppose will happen to the 200? I mean how will the vacancies occur?:confused::confused::confused:

We use Dr. Pead.

I go to Dr. Catherine Horner and my husband goes to Dr. Pead. Both located on 441 behind Walmart/Bealls plaza across from Billys Cafe. Very pleased with both doctors.

Ha!
 

:)I don't care what anyone says, those last two lines were funny!

Think of the irony: You can't wait to be under the care of a doctor who's putting away patients at the rate of 200 every 18 months.

Winston Evalle...family physician and board-certified in gerontology

isn't he a urologist?

sorry I couldn't resist :a20:

Do any of you go to Dr. Martinez Cruz at Family Physicians in Mulberry? I have many friends who go to him and think he is the best. Of course all of the women love him because he tells them how much younger they look than age in years. I would like that too.

doctors ripping off insurance company ????
 

I am in The Villages 2 and 1/2 years and going to the same GP for 2 yrs . I liked the doctor but am very unhappy with her office policies . In my previous home state I could have my blood results mailed to me without going back to their office . Here not only will she not allow them to be mailed to me they charge for an office visit to get the results . And they charge a dollar to get a copy of them . This is ripping off the insurance and the patient. I am ready for a change .
Has anyone else experienced this policy with their doctor . I am really curious .

Perhaps she is uncomfortable sending them because you might not understand what the results mean or that you might be concerned about a result being abnormal and doesn't want you worrying about it until she can talk to you? Have you discussed this concern with her? If you like her as a doc then you owe it both of you to give her a chance to explain her policy. Charging you $1 for the copying is a little much though....

Sometimes you have to complain to get what is right. You will get no resolution if you don't discuss your concerns with the doc. Since you are willing to leave her, you don't have anything to lose.

Yes, I had the same issues with a former physicians' office and I left that office. Fortunately I, as of today, do not have many health issues so I use Paramount Urgent Care for my blood work every 6 mos . I am given the results over the phone within a day or 2 and my scripts are called in. I request a copy of results which are waiting at the front desk for me... no charge!

Thank you Kaydee for the info on Paramount Urgent Care.

Lol
 

No, but he used to be before he Pead.

Unfortunate but true.
 

As the Chaplain at TVRH I get a list of persons who have expired in the last week. Sadly, I can vouch for knowing how some of the vacancies occur. I wrote out 13 sympathy cards this week alone. And we probably sent an equal amount of people to Hospices who expired there. :sigh:

I see Dr. Winston Evalle. He is an internist. he is located at 3351 Wedgewood Lane. His office is listed as: Villages Internal Medicine and Senior Clinic. His phone number is 352-259-0364. He really takes time with you. I have been going to him for about six years now and have referred many people to him and they all like him very much.
