What Patients Say
4.9 stars. 800+ reviews.
I came in with chest pain at 2 a.m. Within 15 minutes I had an EKG, labs, and a CT. They probably saved my life that night.
The waiting room of the local hospital quoted three hours. We drove to ER Of Fort Worth and were home with stitches and antibiotics in 45 minutes.

Common Questions
Answers, before you arrive.
Is ER Of Fort Worth really open 24 hours?
Yes — every hour of every day, including weekends and holidays. There is always a board-certified ER physician on-site, with full lab, imaging and pharmacy support.
How long will I actually wait to see a doctor?
Our average door-to-doctor time is under ten minutes. For comparison, hospital emergency departments in Tarrant County average roughly 90 minutes. If you use Online Check-In ahead of time, you'll often be brought back almost immediately on arrival.
Do you take my insurance?
We are in-network with all major commercial plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and Humana. We also accept Medicare and offer transparent self-pay options. You can verify your coverage on our insurance page or by calling 817-945-4200.
What's the difference between a freestanding ER and urgent care?
A freestanding ER is a true emergency room: same physicians, same equipment, same scope of care as a hospital ER. Urgent care centers are designed for minor issues, are staffed mostly by PAs and NPs, and do not have CT, on-site ultrasound, or board-certified ER physicians. Read our full ER vs urgent care guide.
Do you treat children?
Yes. Our pediatric emergency care includes child-friendly rooms, pediatric-trained physicians, gentler imaging protocols, and specialized equipment for infants and children.
Should I drive in or call 911?
If you suspect a stroke, heart attack, severe trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or any condition where you might lose consciousness during the drive — call 911. Otherwise, walking in or driving directly to ER Of Fort Worth is usually faster than waiting for transport.
