irreverentTampa, Fl members and surrounding area, please step in
My folks are snow birds; have been since the 80s. They are getting older and spending the vast majority of their time in Tampa. I’ve asked them to find docs there, but neither feels confident choosing well. None of their docs here feel comfortable recommending anyone.
Mom has friends at church she’s checked in with; Dad has fishing buddies, but none seem really happy with their docs.
Does anyone have a recommendation on a good facility or physician (mom wants a female internist, ideally, I don’t think dad cares so long as he and the doc get along). Thanks for any thoughts.

sunburnInquire at Moffitt Cancer Center, they may have a referral service.

irreverentThank you both for your responses. I will look into them both. Please keep offering suggestions, they would like it to in Tampa, if possible. They are in Hillsborough, if that helps. Thanks again.

DaveLI have been consistently impressed with USF Health. They have a very robust medicine program that includes Moffitt Cancer Center:

oldbill123Obamacare pushed most of the good Docs out. Docs now are micromanaged by insurance companies and lawyers.

This is the truth, my doctor, which was my parents doctor, gave up his practice because of Obama's bullcrap!!

sig2392We are snowbirds, in Kissimmee.
The facility at Advent Health is Amazing.
My wife used it last year and was very happy with the care she received.
It is highly rated.
