Come directly to our emergency room in 78681 at any hour. No appointment or referral is required.

Immediate Triage

An emergency nurse begins your assessment and identifies the level of care you need.

Physician Evaluation

A board-certified emergency physician evaluates your symptoms, history and physical findings.

Diagnostic Testing

When needed, on-site laboratory testing and imaging help the physician reach answers quickly.

Your Next Steps

The NorthStar Difference

Emergency Medicine Specialists

Every patient is seen by a specialist physician — the credential you would look for in a large hospital department, applied here in a far quieter setting.

A Room Of Your Own

Nobody is triaged into a corridor. A registered nurse begins your assessment the moment you arrive and you are shown to a private treatment room, which is the difference between waiting for treatment and actually receiving it.

Answers Before You Leave

Bloodwork and scans are performed and interpreted on site. Most people understand precisely what is wrong, and what happens next, before they walk back out to the parking lot.

Built Around Families

Infants, teenagers, parents and grandparents are treated by the same staff in the same building, so a family arriving together is never divided between facilities.

Our Clinical Team

Meet Our Emergency Physicians and ER Team

Every patient is evaluated by a board-certified emergency medicine physician supported by ER-trained nurses and diagnostic technologists. The team is continuously staffed so the same level of attention is available overnight, on weekends and during holidays.

Our physicians combine the clinical capabilities expected from a hospital emergency department with the calm, private setting of an independently owned facility. They take time to understand symptoms, explain findings and guide each patient through the next step.

Hospital-grade equipment, ER imaging and a certified laboratory help the clinical team reach answers during the visit instead of sending patients between separate appointments.

Located on Round Rock Ave in Round Rock, NorthStar provides local emergency care for Round Rock families seeking a capable medical team close to home.
