About Victoria ER

Victoria ER is open every day of the year, 24 hours a day. We never close, not even for holidays!

Victoria ER is full-service emergency center. We can effectively diagnose and initiate treatment for all kinds of medical emergencies, from insect bites to heart attacks to industrial and car accidents.

Yes, Victoria ER treats patients of all ages for all medical conditions. We even have a “Peanuts” themed Pediatric Exam room that is designed just for your little ones.

It depends entirely on your condition, and we can provide an estimated cost of care before any sort of treatment if you come in for a complimentary basic medical screening.

No, there is no need to make an appointment for emergency medical care with Victoria ER. We treat patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, even holidays.

Victoria ER differs from an urgent care Victoria TX center in that most urgent care centers are designed to handle non-life-threatening medical complaints. An urgent care facility is much like a doctor’s office with extended hours. Urgent care clinics are often staffed by Physician Assistants or Nurse Practitioners who are unable to treat critical trauma patients. If a patient goes to an urgent care clinic with a life-threatening emergency, the patient will be redirected to EMS or 911. In contrast, Victoria ER is equipped like hospital-based ERs, offering onsite imaging services like CT scans, X-rays, and ultrasound. We also have in-house laboratory services and are equipped and staffed to handle a full range of emergencies, 24/7. Our imaging and lab equipment is the latest in medical technology. Victoria ER provides quick and thorough results for any tests the doctor order.

Our average wait time is 5 minutes. In hospital-based ERs, the wait times are longer than freestanding ERs like Victoria ER. This is due to an increase in patient volume, as well as taking care of critical patients that are brought in by ambulances. Victoria ER does not accept patients from 911 ambulance services. With the lower patient volume our ER physicians and registered nurses can see you promptly and efficiently, so that you are back in the comfort of your home.

Should you require hospital admission, Victoria ER has inpatient transfer agreements and we can get you admitted directly to major hospitals. We can arrange prompt transfer to any hospital as instructed by your or your primary care physician. We also arrange for direct admission to an inpatient bed, allowing you to completely bypass the hospital’s emergency room. Our staff will do anything possible to ensure that the transfer to the hospital goes smoothly. It is important to note, however, that this is usually unnecessary. Most patients who visit Victoria ER are treated and released without the need for a hospital transfer.

Yes, our diagnostic laboratory is both CLIA and COLA certified. We are able to perform the majority of tests hospital ERs perform. These tests are processed by Victoria ER onsite, so we can get the results to you quickly. Typical turnaround time for obtaining lab results at Victoria ER is around 15 minutes.

Yes, we have X-ray, Ultrasound, CT, and Doppler technology. When you require imaging services, in addition to being evaluated in real-time by the ER doctor, we also send the images electronically to an offsite radiologist so that it can be read immediately. An added benefit is that this technology provides printed radiology reports. They are typically ready in about 20 minutes, which is faster than hospital ERs. Victoria ER also provides patients with CDs of their images, which are ready by the time they leave our facility.
