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.

@jefftalley Thank you. I just made an appointment at Mount Sinai in Miami. They have an aortic center there. It's about the same drive to either Miami or Jax, but having the aortic center makes me feel better about possible surgery. I will also find a provider here, as you stated, in case of an emergency. Thanks of your help. Everyone has been really great about all my questions and anxieties about this. Still processing but I feel better knowing I have an appointment this week with a cardiologist.
