Servicing the central Florida area, our centers have on-site labs, medicines, x-rays, EKG & more. Walk-ins welcome – no appointment needed. Tourists rest easy, we accept travel insurances, as well as most other insurances. Urgent Care centers are a great alternative to the hospital emergency room, as the cost is less, and service faster. We treat most minor, non-life threatening conditions and all illnesses cared for by a family doctor.
Yup best place in the area

Urgent care facilities don’t have x-Ray equipment

No, maybe there were more urgent cases that needed to be tended to...

That's how triage works...

Should have given them the finger and left.

Urgent care
 
Most urgent cares post their wait time on their web site.

1 doctor onsite. Very nice.
1 radiologist viewing x-rays remotely covering 3 UF facilities.
Waited 3 hours to have my x-ray read.
No one could tell me when the 1 radiologist would get to my x-ray.

Grand Children visiting. Didn't want to spend the 4th of July in the ER with no
assurance I would receive a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Left in frustration.

Where do you go for treatment of non-life threatning injuries on a holiday in the Villages? People get hurt on holidays to. Why the poor coverage?
To your refrigerator, get some ice cubes and a wash cloth, pack the jammed finger in ice. Eat a popsicle and use the stick to splint the finger. Whatsa matter? You never in the Boy Scouts? Maybe take a Tylenol. Enjoy your visitors. If it still needs attention next day, go to urgent care. Quit bankrupting Medicare.

WORD OF WARNING - If you left without discharge, insurance may not pay the bill...

I have always used LRUC in LSL near cardiologist. Husband did use new UF urgent care/ER ON 44 last year, can’t remember why, but very professional and care was good, BTW I’m an RN so pretty critical about care etc.

I for one am thankful I never got involved in the medical field. Imagine every customer you deal with is sick or think they are. They expect, they demand that you do miracles, in 15 minutes ok many demand ten minutes with you waiting for them to arrive.

Mom used to cure everything with a kiss to make it and her feel better a bottle of iodine and ROY RODGERS band aids. Child protection services did not exist. Sue mom for mal- practice? Dad would settle that case with his garrison belt. Also a cure all.

Some do have x-ray equipment. Exceptional urgent care does.

One Doctor
 
I was there for 4.5 hours when my defib/pacemaker vibrated. The reason the long wait that was given to me by the Doctor, (who was really nice and professional) is that he was the only Doctor there. He even told me to contact UF to, "complain about staffing" because he was taking care of all the 16 patients. This event occurred on a Sunday afternoon, and BTW not the 4th of July.

The next day I went to my cardiologist's office. They asked me if UF interrogated the device. If UF would have done so they could have informed me it was an was alerting met that I have 3 months left of battery power.

BTW, I was also informed UF Does have the equipment to interrogate my device.

Never Again
