When you need care at 2 AM on a Sunday or right after work on a Tuesday, Priority Emergency Center is open. Board-certified ER physicians. On-site labs and CT scans. Walk right in.
24-hour urgent care in Austin, TX is something most people assume they can find easily, but the reality is different. Most urgent care clinics in Austin close by 8 PM. They have no CT scanner, no on-site lab that returns results in minutes, and no physician with ER training on staff after hours. When you are sick at midnight or injured on a holiday, those limitations matter a great deal.
Priority Emergency Center is a freestanding emergency room open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That means when you walk in at any hour, you are seen by a board-certified emergency medicine physician, not a nurse practitioner running through a protocol. You have access to full diagnostic imaging including CT scans, digital X-rays, and ultrasound. Your blood work comes back in minutes, not hours. And you are in a private room, not a crowded waiting area.
This is the standard of care people in Austin deserve around the clock, and it is exactly what we provide every single day at our Far West location.
Most people searching for 24-hour urgent care in Austin are trying to avoid a hospital emergency room. The long waits, the crowded hallways, the billing surprises. We understand that completely. Priority Emergency Center was built to fill exactly that gap.
We are not a traditional urgent care. We are a freestanding emergency center with the full diagnostic capability of a hospital ER and the speed and comfort of a private clinic. No one sits in a waiting room here. You walk in, you are taken to a private room, and your doctor comes to you.
If you need a CT scan to rule out appendicitis, we do it here. If your child has a high fever at 3 AM, we see them immediately. If you think you are having chest pain and want answers fast, this is where you come.
Our team treats the full range of emergency and urgent conditions for patients of all ages. Below are some of the most common reasons Austin residents come to us at all hours. You can view our full list of emergency room services here.
One of the biggest limitations of a standard urgent care is that they send you elsewhere for imaging. You leave, wait at a radiology center, wait again for results, and then try to get back in touch with the clinic. That whole process can take days. At Priority Emergency Center, your CT scan, X-ray, or ultrasound is done in the same building within minutes of your doctor ordering it. Results come back fast, your physician reads them with you, and your treatment starts the same visit.
This is why so many Austin families choose us over a hospital ER for time-sensitive conditions. The capability is the same. The wait and the environment are completely different.
These are the questions we hear most often from patients who find us when searching for care after hours in Austin.
No. Priority Emergency Center is a freestanding emergency room, not an urgent care clinic. We have CT imaging, full lab capabilities, and board-certified ER physicians on-site 24/7. Standard urgent cares in Austin close by 8 PM and cannot handle true emergencies. We can, at any hour.
True 24-hour urgent cares are extremely rare in Austin. Most clinics close in the evening.

You get faster service, better diagnostics, and a doctor on-site, not just a nurse.
