Thank you! Do most people travel to find a good specialist? I live in St. Pete, FL, and have been referred to a local cardiologist but there is an aortic center in Miami, a roughly five-hour drive, that I could travel to, if need be. The cardiologist I was referred to here specializes in heart failure, that's all I know. I haven't had my appointment with her yet.

I live in Houston and thankfully we have a huge medical center, my cardiologist and surgeon are top notch, highly recognized and awesome bedside manners, feel lucky to have found them

There is Shands/UF in Gainesville and a branch of Cleveland Clinic in Ft. Lauderdale.

I live in The Villages, so just an hour or so northeast of you. I have a local cardiologist in case I have an emergency situation here, but I also see someone at Mayo Jacksonville. It's a 2.5 hour drive from here (so I suppose 3.5 hours for you) but it is well worth the drive. I really like my cardiologist (Dr. Jay Schneider) and in a couple of weeks I am going up there for a cardiac ablation to address an arrythmia and afib. One warning on Mayo...I have found their scheduling process is very cumbersome and I need to be persistent to schedule appointments. And doublecheck that it is in your insurance network as it is definitely on the expensive side.
