Average age in Tallahassee, FL is 26.8 years.
Our son-in-law and daughter have mixed feelings about Florida. They dislike the heat, humidity, and the bugs. However, one big thing stands out that they have mentioned: healthcare.
When they moved, they called to get new physicians. They were told their records would have to arrive from Tennessee first, and they weren't allowed to make appointments until those records were received. This took up to 6 months.
Once our daughter got in with a new doc, he wanted her to have a thyroid biopsy. It took 2 months for her to get the negative results and gave her/us a lot of worry. Ridiculous.
Since we're older, this has made me wonder if a move to Florida would be wise.
Another odd thing is the mail service. Tallahassee residents have trouble getting their mail in a reasonable amount of time. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/money/2019/01/25/usps-officials-put-notice-tallahassees-poor-delivery-service/2678368002/
Hoping to hear from anyone who has any experience about these matters. Thank you in advance.

Check the website of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. There's a database of physicians on there which is intended primarily for people who want to pay cash (IE not go thru insurance). But it also includes physicians who accept Medicare and other insurance but are ';patient-oriented'. Call up a few & ask them - see what what they say.
