Emergency Services Reviews
The nurse and doctor provided my son with quick medical care. They were very mindful of his age and did everything to help him feel comfortable with the procedure. They made the emergency less stressful.
Fast and friendly. Broken finger was treated very fast and everything turned out great.
Fast, courteous & attentive service every time I have visited the ER, for myself or with a friend.
Ty soooo much to dr. Gibbons. I had already gone to a different hospital twice and got no help. It just kept getting worse. Now its been 2 days and my eyes have almost cleared up. I thought i was going to go blind for a couple days. SHOUT OUT TO DR. GIBBONS
How Do Emergency Services Work?
It is important to note that patients at the ER are seen in the order of immediate need and not the order in which they arrive. A patient whose ailment is life-threatening will be seen before a patient in stable condition. If more care or follow-up care is required, our Arlington, TX emergency team will transfer you to the appropriate care facility. You should always call 911 if you suspect a heart attack, stroke, or any life-threatening emergency. We also recommend that you keep updated emergency information for every member of your family. This information should include full name, date of birth, allergies, medical conditions, and current medications so if an emergency occurs, you have this information ready to give to medical personnel.
