Medically reviewed by the West Village ER Medical Team
Broken bones, deep cuts, and bad falls are the types of injuries and problems we handle at our ER 24/7. Come by West Village ER and you’ll be seen with no wait. Check in online, call us or walk in 24/7 to get emergency trauma and injury care immediately.
A board certified emergency physician sees every patient right away. Depending on your situation, they can use imaging tools like an X-ray or CT. You will also 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’re an ER , which means we have the same capabilities as a hospital. If this is a true emergency, like a head injury, heavy bleeding, burns or you can’t move a limb, walk in today for no wait emergency room treatment.
Why Choose West Village ER for Trauma Care
- Board certified emergency physicians on every shift. Every patient is seen by an ER doctor, not a physician assistant or a nurse practitioner. These are experienced emergency medicine physicians with decades of experience handling emergencies like yours.
- On-site imaging, read immediately. We perform and read CT scans, digital X-rays, and ultrasound in-house, with results during the same visit instead of the next day.
- Full in-house lab. We process blood work, urinalysis, rapid panels, and cultures on-site, so the doctor has what’s needed to act fast.
- Open 24/7/365, including holidays. Trauma doesn’t follow business hours, and neither do we.
- A standalone ER, not urgent care. We carry the full diagnostic and treatment capabilities of an emergency room, with shorter waits than a hospital ER. We’re right here in West Houston, close by and ready when you need us.
Trauma We Treat
Our doctors evaluate and treat traumatic injuries like:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Head injuries and concussions
- Lacerations and deep cuts requiring stitches or staples

Treatment may include wound care for cuts and lacerations, splinting for fractures or joint injuries, IV fluids, pain management, and close monitoring of vital signs. We also evaluate dislocations, back or spinal injuries, sports injuries, work-related injuries, and injuries from motor vehicle accidents.
When to Come In Right Away
Don’t wait if you or someone has any of these symptoms or warning signs:
- Loss of consciousness, even briefly
- Severe or worsening head pain after an injury
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs
- A bone visibly out of place or deformed
- A wound that won’t stop bleeding after 10 minutes of direct pressure
- Difficulty breathing after a chest injury
- Severe abdominal pain following blunt force or impact
- Confusion, slurred speech, or unequal pupils after a head injury
If you’re not sure, please call us now or walk in. Our team would rather check you and send you home safely than have you wait out a symptom that gets worse overnight.
It is even more important to visit our ER if you have suffered any loss of consciousness, confusion, severe or uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing after trauma, head-injury symptoms such as dizziness, or inability to move or bear weight after an accident.
When You Arrive
- Check in quickly. Walk through our doors and staff greet you right away. You can also check in online before you arrive to save time.
- A physician evaluates you. An ER physician assesses your injury, orders any imaging or lab work you need, and reviews the results with you in the same visit.
- Treatment and next steps. We treat what we can on-site, including splinting, wound repair, and pain management, then give you clear discharge instructions or coordinate further care if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a standalone ER the same as a hospital emergency room for trauma?
A standalone ER gives you the same emergency-level evaluation, imaging, and treatment as a hospital ER. We have on-site CT, X-ray, ultrasound, and a full lab, the tools needed to evaluate and treat most traumatic injuries.
Do I need to call before coming in for a trauma injury?
No. Walk in anytime, 24 hours a day. You don’t need an appointment or a referral.
Can West Village ER treat broken bones?
Yes. Our doctors evaluate fractures with on-site X-ray and CT imaging, and we provide splinting and pain management. We’ll also advise on specialist follow-up if you need it.
How long will I wait to see a physician?
There is no wait to see a doctor. As a standalone ER, we see lower patient volumes with the same diagnostic capabilities.
What if my injury is more serious than a standalone ER can handle?
Our ER team assesses every patient and will coordinate transfer to a hospital if your condition needs a higher level of care, such as surgery or inpatient admission.
