After the nurse takes my blood pressure, I might wait about 2 or 3 minutes for the doctor to show up.

You can call Opuimum for more information: 1-866-409-0888

My doctor's office is across from Laurel Manor recreation center
Doctor David Hunt, (352)-751-9900

Being that I'm in good health, how would I go about evaluating his skill as a doctor? He hasn't had to solve any mystery ailments or diseases. So what do I know? Well, I just like him as a person and he seems willing to spend some time rather than rushing me out the door.

P.S. They also have another office on 441 with a woman doctor
Thanks for the information-----appreciated. Justjim
