The NorthStar Difference
Emergency Medicine Specialists
Every patient is seen by a specialist physician — the credential you would look for in a large hospital department, applied here in a far quieter setting.
A Room Of Your Own
Nobody is triaged into a corridor. A registered nurse begins your assessment the moment you arrive and you are shown to a private treatment room, which is the difference between waiting for treatment and actually receiving it.
Answers Before You Leave
Bloodwork and scans are performed and interpreted on site. Most people understand precisely what is wrong, and what happens next, before they walk back out to the parking lot.
Built Around Families
Infants, teenagers, parents and grandparents are treated by the same staff in the same building, so a family arriving together is never divided between facilities.
Our Clinical Team
Meet Our Emergency Physicians and ER Team
Every patient is evaluated by a board-certified emergency medicine physician supported by ER-trained nurses and diagnostic technologists. The team is continuously staffed so the same level of attention is available overnight, on weekends and during holidays.
Our physicians combine the clinical capabilities expected from a hospital emergency department with the calm, private setting of an independently owned facility. They take time to understand symptoms, explain findings and guide each patient through the next step.
Hospital-grade equipment, ER imaging and a certified laboratory help the clinical team reach answers during the visit instead of sending patients between separate appointments.
Located on Cypresswood Drive near Highway 249, NorthStar provides local emergency care for Houston families seeking a capable medical team close to home.
- Board-certified emergency physicians on site around the clock
- CT, X-ray, ultrasound and EKG performed & read during your visit
- A certified laboratory inside the building
- Open every one of the 365 days — no appointment, no referral
