ER Katy is a free-standing, state-of-the-art emergency room conveniently located in the heart of Katy, Texas. We’re dedicated to serving our community, and caring for the emergency needs of our neighbors.
Emergencies can strike at any time, day or night, so we’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our doctors are Board Certified in Emergency Medicine and have completed advanced clinical training and education in the specialty area of emergency medicine. Along with our dedicated healthcare support staff, we are able to offer the best emergency medicine treatment options available with little to no wait time.
Because our doctors are Board Certified in Emergency Medicine, this means they have undergone extensive education, training, and a rigorous review through board examination.

Brief History
ER Katy opened in 2012 and is housed in a 7,000 square foot facility that was carefully designed with our patients in mind. Our lobby area, patient rooms, and pharmacy offer a welcoming, safe atmosphere, amenities for complete comfort, as well as state-of-the-art patient care in Katy, Texas. Outside, ER Katys’ ambulance area has a covered roof and is prepared for emergency drop-offs in all weather conditions.
Lobby Area
Our spacious lobby incorporates warm and earthy tones, for an inviting and calming atmosphere. Nestled in one wall is a large fish tank, which provides a soothing visual for our patients while they wait. As a proud member of the Katy community, our lobby regularly displays the artwork of local high school students, as part of their scholarship program.
Radiology Suite
Our radiology suite includes state-of-the-art CAT-scan, digital X-ray and ultrasound machines.
Patient Rooms
There are a total of seven patient rooms, each designed with your ease and comfort in mind. Natural lighting lends itself to a feeling of well-being – in stark contrast to the cold fluorescent lights found at most medical facilities. The kids’ patient room is colorfully furnished and includes a television, toys, and games – providing our littlest patients with a welcome distraction from any fear or discomfort.
