Has anyone used the Urgent Care facilities around The Villages? Which one do you recommend? My other half is having pain in her right foot and we don't have a doctor here as of yet. We live in Buttonwood. The Urgent Care on 466 is the closes one to us. Please let us know ASAP.

Thanks

Hubby has used the one in Lake Sumter Landing...Lake Regional Urgent Care at 910 Old Camp Road. Telephone number is (352) 259-4322‎. He seemed satisfied with the care he received. Hope all goes well for your wife.

We have used the Lake Regional Urgent Care at Lake Sumter Landing on three different occasions. We were very satisfied with their facility.

Hope your other half feels better soon.

I think the one you're talking about is Paramount. I've used them once, on a quiet Saturday morning. Quick service, caring attitudes, efficient.

That said, I should hope that any Urgent Care you use would provide the same!

I notice that some UC places have fewer hours than others. It may be useful to study the various places and their hours.

Hope your immediate problems have been solved! No way can we have folks being uncomfortable here in The Villages!

We've had great experiences at Lake Regional Urgent Care in Sumpter Landing. Excellent care.... Do not go to the Urgent Care off of Wedgwood Lane/Rt. 466. I had a horrible experience there.

Two weeks ago I went to Paramount of 466....they were great!

I don't know the name of it, but I used the one over by Sweetbay, and had a great experience.

I used 441 Urgent Care in the complex across from Wal-mart on 441. I would go back again. Professional service and quick.

I have used the one on Old Camp Rd. in Sumter a few times. They're great. Went to Paramount on 466. I couldn't wait any longer cause they were crowded & we had to go somewhere. Later that day they called me & said no wait. That was very thoughtful cause I never asked them to call me. I'd go back to either one.

I'm afraid that my experience with Lake Regional Urgent Care was not that positive. They didn't manage to fax results of pre-surgical blood tests and exam to the hospital in time for surgery for a broken bone, even though testing was done on a Thursday and surgery wasn't scheduled until the following Monday.

I've worked in both hospitals and currently an urgent care center. I am surprised that this could happen. Generally this is automated. Unless your surgery was scheduled for very early Monday I would think that they could just get the lab results on Monday. Maybe the urgent care center wasn't open yet?

I may even apply for a job at Lake since I do like working in the urgent care arena.

Yes, Russ, the surgery was scheduled for early Monday and the Urgent Care Center wasn't wasn't open then. I thought the results of the blood work would have been faxed to the hospital (Leesburg) over the weekend. Must have been some miscommunication along the way. Mostly I felt bad that the surgeon's schedule got messed up.

Russ, your Massachusetts field of experience might not neccessarily apply to The Villages and surroundings. What you find is hard to fathom in a highly touted health care system as you work in now may be a little more commonplace here. It will be interesting to hear your first hand experiences when you start working here.

i used Paramount on 466 2 weeks ago. Had a cycling Accident. Broken Clavicle and Scapula. Went to Paramount, the did X-Ray on the spot soon as I walked in. They sent me to The Villages for CT Scan which was great thing they did. I would use them again!!!!

Thanks to everyone for their information. It was very helpful, we did use the UC at Lake Sumter. Thanks again
