Emergicare

I’ve been here a few times. First, this place has all the amenities as a hospital ER and al, service are provided here. You don’t get bounced between doctors and they are much quicker.
You won’t get better care-​I bring my kids here when they need emergency care too.
FYI, this place is different than an urgent care, it’s a full blown emergency room.

I was calling Emergicare on behalf of a friend who was experiencing severe depression and anxiety. It was so severe it concerned me of her mental state. I called at least 15 therapist, clinics and Dr’s in an effort to get her help. No one would take her. I was at a loss and helpless. My last resort was calling an ER. I called Emergicare and i will admit that the receptionist acted uninterested as if i interrupted her day. She was very ho-​hum and said we probably can’t help you but i dunno. I was incredibly fruatrated, however, i didn’t have another option at that point so we went.
Upon entering the facility we were greeted by a kind man behid the admissions desk. We were seen within 15 minutes of our arrival. The nurse practitioner entered and told us that if my friend were not a harm to herself or others that we probably couldn’t be helped. Dr. English came in, his bedside manner impeccable. He brought a calmness to 2 crying women which is hard to do for any man. He helped the best he could. The nurse, Amy, entered the room again. She felt compelled to come personally speak to my friend. She opened herself up, asked my friend about her situation, she helped us by simply talking, listening and actually caring when for two days — NO ONE did. We, all 3 of us were brought to tears. The kindness she showed was beyond what i ever expected. God bless Dr. English and Amazing Amy. We owe you both so much. Sometimes it really is the little things in life that mean the most. Thank you.

Very clean establishment! The staff was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. I definitely recommend this facility

After a silly accident resulting in a fall, I came to EmergiCare to see if my ankle was broken. I was taken care of as soon as I walked in the door and saw Dr. Jackson within minutes. I was grateful for the x-​ray machine being on site and that I didn’t need to go anywhere else. They hooked me up with everything I would need to recuperate at home and we were out the door in less that 45 minutes after arriving. I would recommend this facility and staff to anyone. Do understand that they are an ER, not an urgent care. I knew that going in and I couldn’t be happier with my experience!

We’ve used this facility three times and have had great experiences and received good care. Yes, the cost is higher but it’s worth it. We have been able to get in and out reasonably quickly, especially in comparison to an ER visit that would take hours. It’s spotlessly clean and the staff is great. Highly recommend!

This place doesn’t even deserve a rating of 1! For the people planning on going here, you will have to pay $ 1000 and more to just get something as small as a sore throat checked up. I got a bill for $ 1328 for a sore throat checkup and I think it is stupid. They rip you off and looks to me like a Fraud company, wonder why not so many come to this place. Urgent care is amazing and would recommend that compared to this ridiculous place. Plus that doctor wouldn’t keep shut, kept on talking and talking. Well I know that I won’t be going here again and also not recommending this anyone.

Let me start off by saying that my visit to Emergicare was for a work related injury that I sustained offshore. I work for a major international offshore company and, after my visit to Emergicare, my company has strictly concluded that they will never use this clinic again.
I went here for mild pain in my lower abdomen (which ended up being a BB-​sized umbilical hernia). Despite normal blood test and an inconclusive CT scan, Dr. English diagnosed me with appendicitis and required that I travel by ambulance (because they hooked me up to an IV) to the hospital for immediate surgery. When they called me in for surgery at the hospital, I declined because I was not convinced that I had appendicitis due to there being no consistency in the tests. After a 24-​hour stay in the hospital for them to monitor me, the surgeon eventually told me that I «without a doubt, do NOT have appendicitis» and discharged me immediately. This visit was a couple months ago and after several more doctor’s visits from other clinics, I can also verify that I did not and do not have appendicitis. If I would hved not been hesitant about the surgery, they would have removed my appendix on Dr. English’s diagnosis. You can imagine the costs associated with a mandatory ambulance ride and a 24 hour hospital stay — all for nothing.
I will never use the clinic again and Dr. English should be ashamed of his medical practices.
***Take my warning, stay away from this clinic!***

EXCELLENT service with professionals that are second to none —
I’ll NEVER go anywhere else… I was in and out in less than an hour and left all splinted up and happy! The prices are really not that much more than clear lake regional and my time is not wasted just waiting to see the doc… Fast professional and friendly!!!

My son had a bad fall playing football with some friends and hurt his chest. We were about to go on vacation and didn’t have time to spend all day in the hospital ER. Emergicare was awesome! In and out quickly. The facility was very clean and nice and the physicians and nurses were very professional. Easily a 5 star and would go there again in a heartbeat!

took my husband there to get glass out of his foot, while the staff was awesome it took FOREVER!!! It felt like we were in the er cause of the length of time, and them not having too many people in there. But all in all not bad.

After having only been to an ER once in college in my 40+ years, I went to these guys for 3 different things over the course of a year or so!;) First I saw them after doing a face plant into the street racing my dog & kids home (it SEEMED like a good idea at the time –LOL!)
I needed stitches in my chin & X-​rays (done there at Emergicare) revealed a minor crack in my elbow. I was cleaned up, stitched up, x-​rayed & elbow bandaged in what seemed like no time! The second visit was about 8 months later for my daughter. She was 9 then & was horsing around at the local pool & accidentally crashed her face into her friends head. Along with a sore head & neck, she had a cut below her lower lip that went all the way thru to the inside of her mouth. (Yes – ouch!) The Emergicare folks checked her out using exam & onsite X-​rays to rule out anything else. They got her cleaned up and bandaged in & us out the door with little waiting.
Third time was for my mother-​in-​law. She had cancerous part of her lung removed in a recent surgery. Post surgery, she was staying with me to recuperate. She started showing signs of infection on a Friday night with fever & redness at incision. Very bad in her post surgery state! But the Emergicare guys can direct admit form their ER into a hospital– so bypassing the Clear Lake Regional ER & sending her right into Clear Lake Regional hospital bed where she needed to be. She was in an Emergicare bed quickly waiting comfortably while they did preliminary blood work (so it would be available for her physician too) and arranged for ambulance to transport her directly to Clear Lake Regional shortly & a waiting bed in the hospital. In her condition, this was so much easier on her than a Friday night waiting in the Clear Lake Regional ER would have been! She verified that for me later too. At Emergicare she was seen within minutes of walking in the door. In short I found these guys to be thorough and competent — I highly recommend them. And that direct admit into the hospital from their ER is VERY cool! Much easier on my dear MIL!

This place is a FRAUD!!! My boyfriend went here because he had blood in his urine and the doctor said because he was under 30 and in seemingly good health that it was probably nothing. The doctor said that the urine should get back to normal in 4 days. He referred him to a urologist who didnt have an openong until after Thanksgiving. We knew it wasn’t safe to wait that long so we took him to see another general physician 2 days later. Even though he no longer had any blood in his urine she did a urine sample and ordered a ct scan. Now emericare claims that they are a free standing emergency room and are as capeable as one attached to a hospital ITS A LIE!!! Although they did ask for a urine sample all the doctor did was look at it and say hey, theres blood in there! They offered no futher testing or any reasonable explaination as to why it was happening simply because he wasn’t in pain. The ct scan that the other doctor order showed that my boyfriend has 2 kidney stones. Thanks emergicare for not doing anything but taking our 100 dollar copay and handing us a business card to a doctor who isn’t available until after Thanksgiving. It was worth every penny (insert sarcasm)!!!
