Telemedicine in Converse, Texas
Virtual ER brings board-certified emergency physicians and nurse practitioners to patients in Converse and throughout Bexar County. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from your phone, tablet, or computer.
Searching for an emergency room in Converse, TX? The first question is severity: for chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, or any other life-threatening emergency, call 911 or get to your nearest emergency room immediately. For urgent symptoms that are not life-threatening, Virtual ER gives Converse and Bexar County residents another option — a video visit with a board-certified emergency physician, available 24/7 from a phone or computer. The physician evaluates you in real time, treats what can safely be treated remotely, and, when appropriate, sends a prescription to the pharmacy you choose, local or mail-order. Because our physicians are emergency-trained, you also get a straight answer to the question behind most ER searches: does this problem truly need an emergency room, or can it be handled another way? For a city of about 28,000 residents, that guidance is available at any hour, every day of the year.
