And all through the house, the family was gathered, and someone said, “Ouch!” Would a sudden emergency ruin the Holiday cheer?  Not with St. Michael’s always ready and near. “Our specialty-trained, board-certified ER physicians, nurses, and technicians are here to help you and your family,” says Dr. Shannon Orsak of St. Michael’s Emergency Rooms. “We never take a holiday from caring for you!”

What makes emergency rooms so packed around the holidays? Is it the constant Fa-La-La-La…Ooops! as people slip off ladders while hanging twinkling lights or could it be Martha Stewart mishaps while preparing the big feast? St. Michael’s offers nine exam rooms (including pediatric themed rooms, a sports room, and a Harley-Davidson room!), a treatment suite for observation, and a comfortable waiting room…but don’t expect to wait! St. Michael’s will keep your ER visits quick, so you can get back home for the holidays. Tim M. says, “St. Michael’s has wonderful Doctors who provided excellent service. The exam room was as nice as a first class hotel room…and I went straight in with no waiting. I highly recommend St Michael’s!”

If Santa twists an ankle on the roof, or dad slips off the ladder while hanging the holiday lights, they need treatment quickly. As Sugar Land’s first free-standing ER, St. Michael’s has their own X-ray, Ultrasound and CT, and on-site diagnostic lab. If you do need long-term treatment, St. Michael’s is not affiliated with just one single hospital…instead they have agreements with all the best nearby hospitals to get you priority care quickly. James K. writes, “When you need an emergency room, the last thing you want is a long line and mounds of paperwork before you can see a doctor. St. Michael’s provides a refreshing take on the emergency room experience!”

Doesn’t it seem like emergencies always happen on weekends, evenings, or holidays…when your doctor’s office and urgent care centers are closed? Never fear…by law your insurance must pay in-network benefits at the ER of YOUR CHOICE whether the emergency room you choose is “in-network” or “out-of-network.” Only a grinch would insist on anyplace other than St. Michael’s! Dr. Orsak says, “St. Michael’s is one of the few licensed, free-standing ER facilities with Joint Commission Accredition, ACR certified radiology suites, and CLIA certified labs. We are in-network with AETNA and also accept more than 200 insurance plans, including Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and Humana. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year, St. Michael’s Emergency Room is ready to help your family! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!”

At this time St Michael’s is currently not participating with Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare.
