Urgent Care Vs. ER

Upscale, Concierge Emergency Services

Understanding the difference between an urgent care center and an emergency room can be crucial to receiving the appropriate treatment. Highland Park Emergency Room is a superior kind of ER experience, bringing the best in concierge emergency services to Dallas, TX. Our facilities are full service emergency rooms with onsite laboratories, digital imaging capabilities and even state licensed pharmacies for you convenience. This means that we can treat symptoms like vomiting, urinary tract infections and abdominal pain as well as more severe wounds and emergencies.

Freestanding ER Services VS Limitations of Urgent Cares

Urgent care centers provide treatment to patients with less serious conditions when their primary care physician is unavailable. They are generally not equipped to handle major trauma, injuries, or conditions. They also typically do not have imaging or lab capabilities, which means that if your condition needs these services, you will be sent to an ER for more comprehensive care.

Our freestanding emergency rooms provide 24 hour emergency care and are staffed with highly trained medical professionals with the experience and equipment to treat medical concerns, emergencies and potentially life-threatening conditions. We have minimal wait times and always have a board certified emergency physician and nurses on duty for a superior ER experience.
