All of the doctors on our medical staff are board certified, and our registered nurses and technicians are all emergency trained in the necessary fields.
Why should you wait hours and hours in a Houston hospital when a full service emergency room is right around the corner offering the same services? Your time is valuable and we appreciate that. Stop by today and visit this West University and Bellaire area Emergency Center – devise a plan. Tens of thousands of people visit Houston hospital emergency rooms every month. These visits can be extremely stressful for many reasons. The usual long waiting times only cause or add to the extreme stress of an emergency. As a patient, you have already decided that your situation is an emergency and you need immediate help. The last thing you want is to have to sit in an emergency room for hours on end at close quarters with complete strangers. This does not happen at EliteCare.
At EliteCare Emergency Center, Houston's 24 Hour Emergency Care Center, our goal is to have you in one of our seven (7) emergency rooms being seen by an experienced emergency physician within 15 minutes of your arrival. We recognize the fact that you view your situation as an emergency – we will treat it as such too!
