Voted Best ER in Katy, TX
ER Katy is housed in a 7,000 square foot facility that was carefully designed with our patients in mind. Our lobby, patient rooms, radiology suite, and pharmacy offer a welcoming, safe atmosphere with comfortable amenities. Don’t just take our word for it–ER Katy was voted the Best Emergency Room in Katy in both 2022 and 2023.
Onsite Radiology Suite
ER Katy has an on-site radiology suite with state-of-the-art machinery. This enables us to perform CT scans, x-rays, and ultrasounds without having to transfer patients to a different facility for imaging.
Convenient Pharmacy
Our licensed pharmacy has emergency medications on hand and is ready to fulfill first-dose requirements for our patients, so you don’t have to go elsewhere to get the medicine you need to begin treatment.
Comfortable Patient Rooms
We have 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. We also recognize the youth in our community by regularly displaying the artwork of local high school students in our hallway.
