More details to this question:
My Dr. sent this letter to me in the mail and stated, "I will no longer be responsible for your medical care. Please make arrangements for another physician, OUTSIDE OF INTER COASTAL MEDICAL GROUP." He gave no explanation. There are over 10 Doctors at this location, how can he tell me I cannot choose another Doctor within the practice?

You have no legal right to make any doctor treat you. There is obviously a dispute and the facility simply doesn't want your business.
