Ongoing care for the conditions you live with, coordinated by one provider who knows your history rather than reading it fresh each visit.
Chronic conditions are managed over years, not appointments. The single biggest predictor of how well that goes is whether the same person is watching the trend. At LLB, that person is Dr. Ricketts every time.
If you are managing more than one condition, they interact. Having one provider hold the whole picture is the point.
Dr. Ricketts has cared for Ocala patients for more than 20 years, with a clinical focus on chronic disease management and preventive health. That length of relationship is what makes the difference between reacting to numbers and actually managing a condition.
We care for patients across Ocala, Silver Springs Shores, Belleview, Summerfield and Ocklawaha, from our clinic on SE 5th Street at Peppertree.
It depends on the condition and how stable things are. Many patients are seen every three to six months, more often after a change in medication or a new diagnosis. We book your next visit before you leave.
Yes, and that is often the point. High blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol frequently travel together, and treating them separately across different offices is how things get missed.
That works well. We handle your day-to-day management and coordinate with your specialist, so you are not the one carrying information between offices.
Yes, and this is more common than you think. Come in, we will find out where things stand, and we will build from there. Nobody will lecture you about the gap.
Yes. Chronic condition management is included in the membership, which for many patients with ongoing conditions is the most cost-effective option. Memberships start at $30 a month.
Yes. Refills and medication questions are part of ongoing care, and members can phone, text or message us directly.
Call the clinic and we will get you scheduled with a provider who will still be here in five years.
