What to Expect from Your Emergency Room Visit

If you have a severe medical problem, we will provide whatever attention is needed. However, if your condition is not life-threatening, you should be prepared to wait. Even if the waiting room is empty, you may still have to wait if our exam rooms are filled or our doctors are attending a particularly serious case.

We know that emergencies are never expected, and you might not have time to gather items. However, if you are waiting for an ambulance, or in a circumstance where it is safe, it is best practice to bring the following items:

• Insurance cards
• A state ID card, such as a driver’s license or passport
• A list of medications and supplements you are currently taking
• The name of your primary care physician
• Credit card

If you are a parent, you may want to bring things for children to do, or comforting objects such as stuffed animals. Additionally, we understand If you are a caregiver, emergency room visits can be particularly nerve-wracking, so our team created a cheat sheet to assist your preparation.
