How quickly you will be seen
Emergency rooms do not work first-come, first-served. Patients are seen in order of medical urgency, so someone arriving with chest pain or stroke symptoms is taken back ahead of a minor injury. That is true here and at every hospital emergency department.
Our CT, X-ray, ultrasound and laboratory are on site. Your emergency physician decides which tests and treatment are appropriate. Test and report timing can vary; ask the care team which results are available, whether any reports are pending, and what follow-up is needed. We can administer medication on site when appropriate.
We do not publish a wait-time number, because an honest one changes hour by hour.How ER wait times actually work explains what drives yours, and what to do if your symptoms change while you are waiting.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an emergency room near Briargrove & Woodlake?
Yes. Bellaire ER is located at 5302 Bellaire Blvd, Bellaire, TX 77401. We are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

What is the difference between Bellaire ER and a hospital ER?
Bellaire ER is a licensed freestanding emergency room staffed by board-certified emergency physicians, with CT, X-ray, ultrasound, and a full lab on site. We evaluate, stabilize, and treat emergencies, and transfer to a hospital when a patient needs care we do not provide here.
Do you accept my insurance?
Come in first. Texas law bases emergency coverage on your symptoms as a reasonable person would judge them, not on the final diagnosis, and the Texas Department of Insurance requires insurers to pay for emergency care regardless of network status. Bellaire ER accepts most major insurance and bills your insurer directly; your plan decides how it processes the claim, and some plans may treat us as out-of-network; for emergency services, federal law caps your cost sharing at in-network amounts and bars balance billing. Your deductible, copay, and coinsurance still apply. See insurance & billing.
