The Emergency Center is a fully equipped freestanding emergency room with advanced diagnostic and imaging services catering to children and adults with a wide array of medical concerns. If you need comprehensive diagnosis of your symptoms, our board-certified physicians, ER- and ICU-trained nurses, and radiology technologists have the expertise and tools necessary to quickly identify the problem and provide appropriate treatment with no wait 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Emergency Center offers:
-
High resolution 64-slice CT scanner
-
Digital X-ray imaging
-
Ultrasound imaging
-
Electrocardiograms
-
Lab testing (urinalysis, bloodwork, etc.)
-
Take-Home MedPack includes up to 72 hours of any necessary medication
-
Critical care/cardiac evaluation and monitoring services
Our 64-slice CT scanner plays a key role in our ability to offer thorough and prompt care. This highly advanced imaging technology is able to detect irregularities that many other scanners cannot.
The Emergency Center Experience
When it’s time to leave, we can give you a med pack with up to 72 hours’ worth of any necessary medications, allowing you to head straight home to rest instead of stopping at a pharmacy. We even provide patients with an audio recording explaining the details of their diagnosis and at-home treatment instructions, since we realize remembering these details can be challenging when you aren’t feeling well.
We will send any necessary paperwork and medical records directly to your primary care provider or medical specialist. The Emergency Center utilizes a proprietary instant record system that simplifies the often frustrating process of sending, receiving, and viewing records.
Keep in mind that, while urgent care centers may be open on weekends and have extended hours, they are not required to be open 24/7 like freestanding ERs. Urgent care facilities are also not required to provide round-the-clock imaging services, and these facilities almost never have CT scanners, ultrasound machines, or full lab capacity within their facility. Additionally, urgent care staff members often do not have the same level of training as staff members of freestanding emergency rooms.
Enjoy life – The Emergency Center’s emergency room will be there to provide diagnostic care for the bumps along the way.
What Our Patients are Saying About Us
My visit to the emergency center of San Antonio was amazing. I was seen right away for sciatica pain. Dr. Styskal was amazing. I was treated right away and sent home with my medication. I wish more facilities would practice this without you having to make an additional stop at a pharmacy for medication. I know five stars is the highest I can give but they deserve 100+ stars.

I was skeptical about going to the Emergency room, because for me ER’s have a bad reputation. My experience here was one of the best experience I’ve ever had. Keith at the front desk was very nice and went above and beyond for me. I forget my insurance card and wanted to know how much my co pay would be. He looked me up with no issue, brought my a wheelchair to ease my pain, as well as started

My first time coming here, was greeted immediately by Keith and Debbie and helped. When in the back, Nichole wasted no time getting my vitals, checking on how I was feeling, and was super friendly and comforting while doing so. Dr. Erdner was very nice, and informative. Johnny got my CT scan quickly and made the process easy, and fast. All together the staff made my visit a great experience.
