Agree
We agree with the suggestion to use the Urgent Care or Emergency Care (Which ever is right) on 441 in Sumerfield.We always went to the UC in Lake Sumter but for reasons I don't want to get into we looked for an alternative and this was recommended. It may be a few mile, (not many) north towards Maids of Marion but the drive is well worth it.. Reason: You will always see a Doctor, it appears to be ready for anything including blood work, xrays, etc.

Minute Clinic
Everyone is forgetting about the CVS Minute Clinic.
Never at the 441 Urgent Care have I ever seen a Doctor. Yes, many injections in the butt. One central Doctor in an office somewhere name appears on the paid insurance form but no one ever see's him. Don't be fooled that you're seeing a degreed M.D. The Colony facility is much cleaner than the Lake Sumter facility. |

There is a 411 Urgent Care also in Sumter Landing. It's where I've been going this past week for the crud that is going around. They are very efficient in getting you in and out. Google it.

The 411 Urgent Care is not part of TVRH.

Unfortunately. an emergency occurred on a Saturday night a few months back and NONE of the urgent care facilities were open forcing us to go to TVH ER where we waited over 2 hours eventually leaving and seeing personal physician on Monday morning.

So ... Saturday night emergency, left ER. Then, personal physician seen Monday morning. A real "emergency." Apparently ... in the eyes of the patient.

Be prepared to wait for hours at Leesburg.

Last year I needed to go to the ER and chose Summerfield ER over TVRH, based on past experience at TVRH. When we arrived at Summerfield I was immediately tested and examined by the ER doctor, who recommended a night in the hospital for observation. The ER staff handled the admittance procedure, so I went directly by ambulance to a pre-assigned room.
The other thing that worked better at Ocala Regional was getting OUT of the hospital. My last time at TVRH I had to wait hours for the specialist and hospitalist to sign the discharge papers. I was by-passed for lunch because I was "scheduled for release any minute". At 7 pm the hospitalist finally signed the paperwork. At Ocala Regional the discharge was done promptly during the day. In my opinion, part of the problem at TVRH ER with patients waiting for a room is the inability of patients occupying rooms to get discharged. The only downside of going to Ocala was the recommended followup was with an Ocala doctor rather than my regular doctor in TV. |

Did you have a bad experience with Paramount? Is that why you are asking? I have taken my wife last year, and my Mother last night to Paramount, and in both cases, we received very good care, the facility was very nice, and the people were friendly and responsive. I will recommend them over any of the other urgent care facilities we have used here in The Villages.

Urgent
[QUOTE=NotGolfer;1615785]This is something I wish I'd written down but didn't. I know there are "urgent cares and then there are urgent cares" in our area. I've gone to Paramount in the past but it seems that someone mentioned there is one that's affiliated with TVRH. Is that correct?? I thought I'd read somewhere that
There are two near Sumter Landing, just off of Old Camp Road and not far from Sunnys Bar B Que. The one that is marked 411 is the best, we were really impressed with it. Hope that helps. Also it is good to be sure and check it all out and share, some are not so good???????? |
