Blood sugar monitoring, medication management and practical education, with a provider whose clinical focus is chronic disease.
Diabetes is managed in the ordinary weeks between appointments, not just at the appointment. Our aim is that you leave understanding your numbers and what actually moves them, rather than only being told what they were.
A diagnosis is a lot to absorb in one visit. Bring someone with you if that helps, and ask everything.
Diabetes is common across Marion County, and management works best when the same provider follows your numbers over years rather than seeing a snapshot. Dr. Ricketts has built her practice around chronic disease management for exactly this reason.
We care for patients across Ocala, Silver Springs Shores, Belleview, Summerfield and Ocklawaha, from our clinic on SE 5th Street at Peppertree.
Most patients are seen every three to six months once things are stable, and more often after a diagnosis or a medication change. We schedule your next visit before you leave rather than leaving it to chance.
We manage type 2 diabetes and prediabetes in primary care, and we co-manage type 1 alongside an endocrinologist. Call us and we will tell you honestly what fits here and what needs specialist involvement.
Yes. A1C testing is part of routine diabetes management here, and we will go through what the result means with you.
Tell us. There are often alternatives at very different price points, and this is a solvable problem far more often than people expect. Our Direct Primary Care membership also covers ongoing visits for one monthly rate.
Yes. Education is part of the visit rather than a separate program. We cover food, activity, monitoring and how to recognise a high or low.
Call us and come in. Testing is straightforward, and finding out is always better than wondering. Nobody here will lecture you about the gap.
Walk in Monday through Friday, book a Saturday appointment, or call and we will get you scheduled.
