Last year I cut my finger pretty bad with a steak knife and knew it needed stitches. I went to the Villages hospital emergency and they said 4 to 6 hours to see me. I left and went to the urgent care behind CVS at Belevedere Blvd and 466. I was seen in about 45 mins and was very impressed with Dr. Im who really impressed me with the way he handled the situation. He explained everything he was going to do, what to expect as far as pain and then did a fast job of stitching me up. He told me something that no other doctor has ever told me. He said to expose the wound to sunlight for about an hour every day. I would like to have him as a family docter. The only drawback of this clinic is their hours. They are not open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
