Welcome to The Emergency Center Your Preferred 24 Hour, No Wait Emergency Room

The Emergency Center (TEC) is a fully equipped freestanding emergency facility. We are similar to, and in many ways, better than a hospital based emergency room. Our facility is staffed 24/7 with board-certified ER physicians, ER- and ICU- trained registered nurses, and Radiology Technologists. Just like hospital-based ER’s, TEC has an on-site lab and a full radiology suite equipped with 64- Slice CT, digital X-ray, and ultrasound.

Unlike urgent care centers, freestanding emergency centers are open 24 hours a day – 7 days a week, have ER physicians on-site at all times, provide round-the-clock lab and imaging services, keep medications in stock, and are able to provide life-saving care immediately. Urgent care centers almost never have CT scanners, ultrasound, and full lab capability within their facility, but freestanding ERs are required to have these available at all times. As state-licensed facilities, freestanding emergency rooms must also train their staff at a level not required of urgent care centers.

The Emergency Center provides the same emergency treatment patients receive in traditional hospital-based emergency rooms. While the national average wait time to be treated in most hospital-based emergency rooms is 2-4 hours, patients at The Emergency Center will be seen immediately by a licensed physician or ER-trained registered nurse who will assess needs and begin care right away.

Our board-certified emergency medicine physicians are experienced and qualified to treat a wide range of illnesses and ailments, including: abdominal pain, bone breaks and sprains, shortness of breath, head injuries, cuts and lacerations, burns, chest pain, allergic reactions, and more.

Freestanding emergency centers are, in many ways, just like hospital-based emergency rooms. There’s only one difference: they’re not connected to a hospital. Freestanding ERs offer many of the same services and have the same equipment as hospital-based ERs, without the long wait times.
