Preston Hollow Emergency is described as offering an “upscale level of service” with no wait, calling to mind something a little different than the typical crowded doc-in-a-box.

The 24-hour clinic does X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds and blood work in-house with doctors and nurses who are trained in emergency room and trauma situations. They promise to have test results back in 10-15 minutes after evaluating a patient, faster than most any other emergency room. There also is a pharmacy on site dispensing antibiotics, blood thinners, pain meds and other common treatments.

The same company operates Highland Park Emergency on Lemmon.
