Telemedicine in Groves, Texas

Virtual ER brings board-certified emergency physicians and nurse practitioners to patients in Groves and throughout Jefferson County. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from your phone, tablet, or computer.

If you need emergency care in Groves, TX, the first question is how serious it is: for life-threatening symptoms, call 911 or get to your nearest emergency room immediately. For urgent problems that are not life-threatening, Virtual ER gives Groves and Jefferson County residents 24/7 video access to board-certified emergency physicians — the same specialty that staffs emergency rooms — from a phone or computer at home. The physician evaluates you in real time, treats what is safe to treat remotely, and, when appropriate, sends a prescription to the pharmacy you choose, local or mail-order. Every visit also includes something a search result cannot provide: an emergency physician's honest judgment about whether your condition needs hands-on care and what the right next step is. Groves is a city of about 17,100 residents; our own physical emergency room in Bellaire is roughly 94 miles away, so for anything truly urgent in person, your nearest emergency room — not ours — is the right destination.
