Thank The Villages Health leadership for selling us down the river.
Bruce B. replied:
I’m really sorry about this string. I only want to find a doctor and I thank everyone who has responded thus far. That said, I would like to explain what happened to us and my perspective. For the record, I spoke to 3 different Advantage systems, including United Health Care (4 times). I also had a very long (45 minute) heart to heart with my Primary Care Physician, who is the best Dr. I ever had. All agreed that we had to leave The Villages Healthcare System. My wife and I have Medicare AND strong supplemental/secondary insurance from the two largest medical providers: United Health Care and Aetna. What is missing in this conversati

Ellen M. replied:
Lakeview for sure...I ave seen Dr Cheema for 14 years - would not even think of going any where else.....
Carole J. replied:
The reason I did not like Premier was that my doctor was Dr. Khanna, but he was never available when we arrived for our appointment. The service was very impersonal, and we often had long waits even with appointments.

Does anyone know of a primary care doctor in and around the Villages who offers weight management/nutrition counseling ?
Rebecca C. replied:
I would think any Internal Medicine/ primary care doctor would be able to assist with this. I don’t know if anyone who specializes in it besides say a nutritionist. You may be able to ask different offices if their doctor would be helpful with this kind of care. Assisting you with diet and managing your chronic health issues.

You could try Lakeview Internal Medicine. They have multiple offices and physicians and they may have one that would help. They do not have a nutritionist though. Their Summerfield office number is 352-307-9925
