Memorial Heights 24 HR Emergency Center

I was seen at this place for stomach pain. I was seen immediately and they determined I did not have appendicitis. I was so relieved. I was cared for and treated very well. I would return there for any serious medical illness i have. I never had to wait! For those on here whining about the bill, it is no different than going to a hospital ER but you will not wait or be ignored! 

love love love this place and Dr. Bob.    I went in on a thursday night after I fell in my front yard and gashed my shin open about 4 inches down to the bone.    Everyone immediately recognized the severity of the wound, and started working on it immediately to clean it out.     I didn't understand, at the time, the seriousness of it and the potential for bone infection.  Dr. Bob did a great job of impressing upon me the risks and the importance of me coming back in over teh weekend for him to monitor the wound before I could get into see a ortho....   I eventually needed surgery, and it was a royal pain.    However, my experience at the ER Center was the most pleasant of the two month long debacle.    The staff was lovely, kept a good eye on my pain management, and tried to keep me distracted while Dr. Bob scoured my wound.  ugh.

The worst part of being a parent is watching your kid suffer and not being able to do anything about it. My 16 month old son developed a cold that became a cough that turned into a persistent cough that evolved into a tiny-body-convulsing cough. Of course the climax of the ordeal had to happen on Saturday and he needed to be seen by someone. We searched for urgent care facilities but went with the ER because our emergency copay is not outrageous and I really, really needed some piece of mind.

So we go to this beautiful and clean and EMPTY ER at 3pm on Saturday. It was just us and a guy that seemed to have fallen off his bike (ouch!). I only had time to fill in the top 1/4 of the first page of the paperwork before we were called back. We first were seen by a nurse who was friendly and efficient. We were later called to get a chest x-ray. The x-ray tech was nice and prompt and helped me hold my squirmy worm of a son. Later we saw the doc, diagnosis: pneumonia. We had a prescription in hand a few minutes later. We arrived at 3:00 pm and were back on the road to the pharmacy at 4:20. Pretty awesome on an ER scale.

The little guy is doing great and I was happy they gave me the CD of his x-rays to take to the pediatrician next time we go.

Based on its location on Washington I suggest that anyone living in Rice Military or the Heights take advantage of this spot. I do wonder how crazy it gets on a Friday or Saturday around 2:15 am...but I hope I never have to find out.

Such a great place to go to. The wait was not long whatsoever and the staff were so great.  They were very informative and were great when we continued to ask a thousand questions. I would so recommend this place to everyone.  They have everything there that is needed to do any and all kinds of testing. GO THERE!!!!
