minimalista Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I am looking for recommendations for a primary care doctor in the Bushnell FL area. Would appreciate any leads! Thank you, -Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velos Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Each states licensing and qualifications for practicing medicine is different. We have visited Dr's and Dentists in several states and learn you should not assume anything. On one occasion I injured my shoulder and used the site to eliminate two dr's that had board actions for DUI's. Another time while looking for a dentist one had board actions against the license for performing procedures on city employees and their children without prior authorization. I found this site helpful in looking up medical practitioners: https://www.healthguideusa.org/medical_license_lookup.htm Also google the Dr for reviews, you do have to read between the lines as each individuals expectations are different. Here is one source for Dr reviews: https://www.healthgrades.com/ I do not have a referral for Bushnell but we have stayed in Sarasota several winters in the past and were very happy with Dr. Sassano:http://www.sarasotaimmediatecare.com/all-doctors-list/dr-joseph-sassano/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chindog Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 We also are looking for a primary care physician in Bushnell. There is a new clinic under construction that looks like it is about ready to open, Premier Medical Associates. They have other clinics in cities around the area, from Ocala to Orlando. I don't have any info on the specific doctors that will be at the clinic, though. We plan on visiting them when they open up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimalista Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Velos, thank you for those links, and your recommendation for Dr. Sassano. I might try to get an appt there since I'll be spending time in Sarasota. I was leaning toward Bushnell since I'll be there for a month.

ToddF Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I signed up with Dialcare (Telemedicine simplified). I wanted an app that I could use nationwide to find and consult with Doctors around the US in case I need one while traveling outside my home area. Not sure if this is something that would interest you...I haven't had occasion to use it yet. I pay $159 a year and the service includes free consultations if I need them.
