They have doctors and machines on-site that are necessary for diagnosis and treatment. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

But HCA ER is an emergency room, not an Urgent Care facility, and charges accordingly. If a problem is minor it doesn't warrant full ER care.
However, In order to avoid sitting in the Villages Hospital ER for hours, I did go to the Ocala ER once near Del Webb on 441 and was transported from there to Ocala Regional Hospital, straight from the ER to a hospital room bed. Very impressed. That was before the ER on 466a opened.
We used to use Lake Regional Urgent Care at Lake Sumter Landing because of having a doctor there, Dr. Aich. But the facility suffered from lack of upkeep and new urgent care offices opened nearby.
