4 Easy Ways to Find the Nearest ER

In times of emergency, many of us are prone to panic or are unable to clearly think through our decision-making processes. Whether it’s a sudden injury, a worrying medical symptom, or a life-threatening situation like a diabetic seizure, being able to find the nearest ER as quickly as possible can make all the difference. 

When a loved one is hurt or severely ill, you shouldn’t have to waste precious time trying to figure out where to go for care. Fortunately, we’re here to give you several quick and easy ways to locate the closest Complete Care freestanding emergency room in your area.

Here are four helpful tips to keep in mind when you need to find an ER fast:

1. Use Google Maps. Simply search for “emergency room near me” or the specific name of the Complete Care facility closest to your location. Google Maps will provide you with directions, distance, and estimated travel time to get to the ER.
2. Check the location page on our website. Each Complete Care location has its own page that includes location information, maps, and phone numbers.
3. Download an ER locator app. There are various apps available, such as the findERnow app, that can instantly show you the nearest ER and provide details on each facility.
4. Ask your voice assistant. Whether it’s Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant, you can quickly ask your smart device to find the closest Complete Care emergency room and provide you with directions.

If you need to find a freestanding ER near you, visit one of our locations in Texas (Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas/Fort Worth, East Texas, Lubbock, and San Antonio) or in Colorado Springs.

1. Use Google maps

Google Maps is a quick and easy way to locate the nearest Complete Care emergency room. Simply search for “emergency room near me,” “walk-in emergency clinics near me,” or the specific name of the Complete Care facility closest to your location. Google Maps will provide you with the address, directions, distance, and estimated travel time to get to the best emergency room for your current location.

When searching on Google Maps, be sure also to check the Google My Business listing for the Complete Care facility. The Google business page will give you a quick overview of the emergency room, including details about the services offered, proximity to your current location, and even reviews from past patients. This can help you determine which freestanding ER location is the closest and most convenient option for your situation.

2. Check the locations page on the ER’s website

The locations page on the Complete Care website was built to show the location closest to you at the top. That way, when you visit our site and search for emergency rooms, the facility nearest to your current location will be your first result.

Each Complete Care location has a dedicated page that includes: 

• The full address
• Detailed directions
• Hours of operation (all of our locations are open 24/7!)
• Map
• Phone number for that specific ER

This makes it easy to quickly identify and get to your area’s closest freestanding emergency room.

In addition to location details, our website also provides information about the services offered at each Complete Care facility and reviews from past patients praising our award-winning emergency care services based on their experiences. This gives you a comprehensive overview of your options so you can make the most informed decision when seeking emergency care.

3. Download an ER locator app

In today’s world, there are various apps available that can instantly show you the nearest ER and provide detailed information about each facility. One app is findERnow, which was created specifically to help you locate the closest freestanding ER near you.

With the findERnow app, you can simply enter your current location or allow the app to detect it automatically. The app will then display a map showing the nearest Complete Care emergency rooms, along with the address, distance, and estimated drive time for each one.

4. Ask your voice assistant

When you or a loved one needs immediate medical care, you can quickly turn to your voice assistant for help. Whether you have Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant, simply ask your smart device to locate the nearest Complete Care emergency room for you. Just say something like “Find the closest Complete Care ER” or “Where is the nearest walk-in clinic?”

Your voice assistant will instantly provide you with the address, directions, and estimated travel time to get to the closest Complete Care freestanding ER. Some assistants may even give you information on services offered or current wait times.

The hands-free convenience of using a voice assistant can be incredibly helpful during a medical emergency, allowing you to get the information you need with a simple voice command, saving precious time at a time when you need it most.
