About the clinic

Primary care in Ocala from a provider who stays.

LLB Medical Clinic at Peppertree serves Ocala, Silver Springs Shores, Belleview and the wider Marion County area with primary care, urgent visits, DOT physicals and chronic disease management.

Meet Dr. Nichola Ricketts

DNP, APRN-BC · Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner

Dr. Ricketts has been a contributing member of the Ocala community for more than 20 years. She holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Grand Canyon University and is a member of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing.

Her focus is chronic disease management and preventive health, built on a strong background in geriatric and end-of-life care. That experience shapes how she practices: fewer assumptions, more listening, and a plan built around the patient in front of her rather than a protocol.

Why Ocala patients choose LLB

Marion County has no shortage of chain urgent care. What it has less of is a clinic where the same board-certified provider handles your sick visit, your DOT card and the condition you manage all year.

One provider, every visit

You see Dr. Ricketts. Not whoever is on shift that day. She remembers your history because she took it.

Hours that fit a working week

Open Monday through Friday, 8:00 to 5:00, with Saturday appointments from 9:00 to 3:00 and walk-ins welcome on weekdays.

Memberships from $30 a month

No insurance is not a dead end here. Our Direct Primary Care memberships cover unlimited primary care visits with no copays, and we also offer Cherry financing and affordable self-pay rates.

Care that comes to you

Telehealth visits and house calls in the Ocala area for patients who cannot easily travel to the clinic.

Serving Ocala and Marion County

The clinic sits on SE 5th Street at Peppertree, just off Maricamp Road, which puts us within a short drive of most of southeast Ocala.

We regularly care for patients from Ocala, Silver Springs Shores, Belleview, Summerfield, Ocklawaha and the surrounding Marion County communities. Commercial drivers coming off I-75 use us for DOT physicals, and families across the county see us for school and sports physicals each summer.

Become a patient at LLB.

Walk in Monday through Friday, book a Saturday appointment, or call and we will find you a time this week.
