| Houston--Center of Excellence |
Houston has specialized medical facilities in nearly all of the main medical fields, so it makes sense that emergency care would be no different. Since the early 2000s, freestanding emergency care centers have popped up all over the Houston area, providing the same emergency medical care as a hospital but in most cases with a fraction of the wait time. Take a look at some of the major facilities in Houston and learn a bit about the care that they offer.
— TEXAS EMERGENCY CARE CENTER
Open in Houston since 2006, Texas Emergency Care Center (TECC) (www.txercare.com) offers two convenient locations: Atascosita, just north of the city in Humble, Texas; and Pearland just south of the city. Although providing the services and care equal to those found in a hospital ER, TECC has a different feel with a comfortable, family-friendly environment and wait times that average less than 20 minutes. Setting the standard for freestanding emergency rooms, TECC physicians more than experienced in emergency medicine, it’s their passion, which leads to a high level of care and personalized attention. Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, TECC has a full-service in-house laboratory, x-ray, ultrasound imaging, CT scanning and cardiac monitoring. Best of all TECC accepts more than 100 health care provider plans and most private insurance plans as well. In July 2016, TECC joined ER Centers of America in becoming part of Family ER + Urgent Care but is still committed to the same level of emergency service all in one place.
— ELITE CARE
Considered “the new standard in 24-hour emergency care,” Elite Care is a 24-hour emergency room in Rice Village that provides all the services of a traditional hospital emergency room but with short wait times, convenient and clean locations and superior service for all Inner Loop neighborhoods. With total emergency care, services, equipment and board-certified doctors on hand around the clock, patients are guaranteed VIP service, free and easy parking, ER physicians, lab testing and results in 21 minutes or less, an onsite radiology department for CT and x-ray results, onsite pharmacy services, rapid discharge and direct admissions to inpatient hospital services if needed. Elite Care also accepts all major insurances, including AETNA, BCBS and Humana, but not Medicare, Medicaid or Tricare.
— NEIGHBORS EMERGENCY CENTER
The purpose driving the vision at Neighbors Emergency Center is inspired by its patients, culture and community and the belief that providing extraordinary care makes lives better every day. With an unfaltering vision to be “The Best Neighbors Ever,” Neighbors Emergency Center provides unparalleled medical care driven by compassion, respect and dedication. The values at Neighbors Emergency Center include “heart” in being genuine, respectful, compassionate, engaging and thoughtful; “spark,” being creative, driven, visionary and urgent; a “guardian” that nurtures and protects with loyalty, trustworthiness and honor; a “smile” that is friendly, fun, uplifting and welcoming; and the “window,” which reflects its collaborative, sharing, transparent, open, accountable and affordable treatment. Neighbors Emergency Center offers nine locations throughout the Houston area and accepts most major private insurance plans (e.g., Aetna, United Health Care, Humana, Cigna, BCBS).
— NEXTCARE URGENT CARE
NextCare Urgent Care is one of the nation’s largest providers of urgent care and occupational medical services with four convenient Houston-area locations. Emphasizing a comprehensive Full Circle Care approach that ensures patients experience the highest level of care from reception to recovery, NextCare is open with extended operating hours on mornings, evenings and weekends and accepts most insurances plans so families can avoid the hospital ER and get the care they need any time.
— URGNET CLINICS MEDICAL CARE
With six clinics in the Houston area, Urgent Clinics Medical Care offer fast, qualified and affordable urgent medical care in a convenient, state-of-the-art facility with experienced and licensed healthcare professionals. Urgent Clinics provides comprehensive urgent medical care, and all locations are equipped with digital x-ray and laboratory equipment. Most locations are open 8 a.m.–9 p.m., but the Pearland location is open from 9 a.m.–12 a.m., which is great when the doctor’s office is closed or not an option. Upon request, a full report is provided to personal physicians so medical records remain complete.
Especially when your regular doctor is not in or you’re far from your home hospital, these emergency care centers can be a blessing and make sure you get the treatment you need.
