Medically reviewed by the West Village ER Medical Team
Our ER offers no wait times for any patient with a broken bone, deep cut, or any other type of trauma. West Village ER is open 24/7 with Board Certified ER physicians on call. You do not need an appointment to visit us and there are no wait times if you have a trauma or injury, regardless of severity.
Every patient is seen by a board certified emergency physician the moment they are placed in a room. Depending on your trauma or injury, we have imaging tools ranging from X-ray to CT scans. We also treat and diagnose you in the same visit. That means you receive your results within the same visit, and usually within the hour. If labs are needed, we also have an in-house lab with results in the hour.
We are a stand alone ER , which means we have the same capabilities as a hospital without the long wait. If this is a true emergency, like a head injury, heavy bleeding, burns or you can’t move a limb, walk in today for fast emergency room treatment in your area.
