### 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.
Lizette M. ★★★★★
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
Mecia T. ★★★★★
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.

### FAQs About The Emergency Center
#### What is The Emergency Center?
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.
#### What’s the difference between The Emergency Center and an Urgent Care Center?
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.
#### What’s the difference between The Emergency Center and a traditional hospital-based ER?
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.
#### What kind of emergencies do you treat?
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. 
#### What is a freestanding ER?
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.
