24/7 Emergency Care. Our patients are first.
When an illness or injury interrupts your day, we are here to make the next step feel a little easier. Post Oak ER welcomes adults and children from Tanglewood 24/7, with board-certified emergency physicians, on-site diagnostics, no appointment required, and minimal to no wait.
Tell us a little about yourself and your emergency to begin your check-in.
For many Briargrove families, San Felipe Street is already part of the daily routine. Briargrove Elementary sits at 6145 San Felipe, while Post Oak ER is farther east on the same corridor at 5018 San Felipe. That connection matters when an ordinary school day, an afternoon outside, or time at home suddenly turns into something that needs emergency attention.
A hard playground fall, for example, may need more than ice and rest if there is concern for a fracture or more serious injury. Houston’s warmer months bring another practical concern: the Houston Health Department actively tracks heat-related illness from May through October, when prolonged heat and outdoor activity can contribute to dehydration and other heat-related problems.
When a Briargrove resident needs an emergency room in Houston, our team can use on-site X-ray, CT, and laboratory testing when medically appropriate, helping us understand the problem without routinely sending you somewhere else for basic diagnostics. We take the time to explain what we find and help you understand what the next step in your care should be.
Some emergencies begin with a familiar symptom that suddenly becomes severe, unusual, or difficult to manage. Our physicians can evaluate these common concerns and determine the safest next step.
We evaluate severe abdominal pain promptly, with on-site testing and imaging available when medically appropriate.
We assess painful sprains and fractures, provide appropriate imaging, and explain the safest next step.
We assess sudden breathing changes promptly and begin appropriate emergency treatment based on your condition.
We evaluate unexplained chest pain promptly with physician-led care, EKG testing, and close monitoring when needed.
We evaluate high or persistent fever and provide timely care when emergency attention is appropriate.
We assess sudden or unusual headaches and determine whether imaging, medication, or further care is needed.
Post Oak ER is conveniently connected to Briargrove through San Felipe Street, making our location easy to reach when an unexpected medical concern changes your plans. We also welcome people coming from nearby Tanglewood, Uptown and the Galleria area, Highland Village, River Oaks, and Greenway/Upper Kirby. Wherever your day began, our goal is to give you a clear place to turn when you need emergency care and to guide you through the experience with the calm, attentive support we would want for our own families.
