Priority Emergency Center was founded with one belief — that every patient deserves immediate, expert emergency care without the wait. We are Austin's trusted freestanding ER, open every hour of every day.
Priority Emergency Center was established with a clear and urgent mission to provide the Austin, TX community with world-class emergency medical care and urgent care that is fast, compassionate, and always available. We believe no one should ever have to wait hours to be seen during a medical emergency.
As a fully licensed freestanding emergency room, we operate with the same capabilities as a hospital ER — advanced diagnostic imaging, onsite laboratory, board-certified physicians, and a full emergency care team, but in a patient-first environment with zero wait time and immediate, personalized attention.
We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — including all holidays — because emergencies don't follow a schedule, and neither do we.
Everything we do at Priority Emergency Center is guided by these principles.
We understand that in a medical emergency, every second counts. Our team is ready to see you the moment you walk in — zero wait, zero delay.
We treat every patient as family. Our physicians and nurses provide one-on-one, personalized care in a calm, supportive environment — not a crowded hospital hallway.
Our board-certified emergency physicians bring hospital-level expertise to every patient visit. We never compromise on quality — from diagnostics to treatment to discharge.
We believe patients deserve clear, honest communication — about their condition, treatment plan, and costs. No surprises, no hidden fees, no confusion.
We are proud members of the Austin community. Our mission extends beyond our walls — we are committed to accessible, equitable emergency care for every person who walks through our doors.
From our 64-slice CT scanner to full onsite labs, we invest in the best tools available so our physicians can diagnose faster and treat more accurately — right here, no referrals needed.
Priority Emergency Center was born out of a frustration shared by too many Austinites — long waits, overcrowded hospitals, and impersonal care during the most stressful moments of their lives. Our founder, Dr. Montadher Alwazni, MD, set out to create something better.
His vision was simple: build an emergency center that puts patients first — with the full capabilities of a hospital ER, but the speed, attention, and warmth of a private physician. That vision became Priority Emergency Center.
Today, we continue to grow that legacy every day — one patient at a time.
