Emergency care
Emergency care is the treatment of unexpected, severe medical injuries or infections. It is typically delivered in an emergency room or an ambulance. Our emergency medicine physicians stabilize your condition as quickly as possible to prepare you for the next step of care or discharge.
Emergency room (ER) in Greater San Antonio
Life is full of unexpected complications, and we are here to help you and your family when you need medical attention, fast.
The ER at Methodist Hospital Specialty and Transplant provides expert care for life's greatest emergencies, including broken bones and heart attacks. Our registered nurses and board-certified physicians are specially trained to offer 24/7 emergency medical services so that you and your family never have to wonder where or when to seek care.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical emergency, always call 911 first. We provide adult emergency care for a number of conditions, but some illnesses and injuries, while urgent, may not be life-threatening. These might be better suited for a visit to an urgent care center instead. If you're not sure you need to head to the ER, talk to a nurse first. Call (210) 575-0355.
