Frequently Asked Questions
What types of crises do Emergency Rooms in Keller handle?
Emergency Room Keller, as fully prepared for an instant reaction to the emergency as it can be, is equipped with an array of available tools to handle a diversity of medical emergencies, including burns, crushed limbs tensed victims, etc. Sickbay, being our medical team’s base, is set up to handle all immediate health situations providing them with the full range of instruments they need to reach the best possible outcome in each case.
How does the emergency room in Keller vary from Keller's urgent care center?
Although the Emergency Room Keller and Urgent Care are both immediate patient care services, the differences become evident when there is an emergency involving life-threatening conditions that will require intensive interventions, and the ER is more efficient for such cases than our Urgent Care. The Urgent Care we have is specially designed for those, not very serious health problems you need not wait for an appointment, including but not limited to minor injuries, common flu, or infections.
Can I go to the ER for non-critical conditions if I can't see my usual doctor?
Yes, our Emergency Room Keller treats patients with various health issues, some of the most serious are life-threatening but some other (less serious) ones may still need prompt or immediate attention. Though in such a situation reading our Urgent Care services could be more suitable for less critical somatic disorders, the shortest way to save some resources and time is by visiting a specialist.
What should I bring with me to the ER?
If ever there is a booking, it would be good if you bring your identification, insurance information, a list of current medications, a medical history sheet or documents, and your so-called primary care physician contact information. Such information will shorten the patron registration process and eventually allow us to do customized care.
How can I expect to be treated when I arrive at the Watauga ER?
When you are admitted to our Emergency Room Keller, you will immediately be examined by medical personnel to assess the severity of the accident. This early assessment determines those who have the most life-threatening issues to avoid them dying from while they are waiting for their turns.
