Families and older residents alike
The cities around El Mirage, Peoria among them, have two populations that need an emergency room nearby for opposite reasons: a lot of young families, and a lot of older residents.
We are not a pediatric emergency room, and we treat children every day. And for older residents, chest pain, a fall or dehydration in an Arizona summer is less forgiving of a long drive.
How long you will be here
There are wait times. Any emergency room that tells you otherwise is selling something.
What we can tell you is what our own records show:
Under 30 min
The average time from arriving to being seen has stayed under 30 minutes year round.
About 1.5 hrs
The average visit, from walking in to walking out.
And the part that matters more than either number: if someone arrives sicker than you, they will be seen first. That is how an emergency room is supposed to work, and it is the main reason any individual wait can run longer than an average. We would rather tell you that than promise you a time.
In-network benefits honored. No balance billing.
We honor in-network insurance benefits for emergency care, and we do not balance bill patients for emergency care they have received.
An Explanation of Benefits is not a bill. It is a statement from your insurer showing what they paid. People receive one, read it as a demand, and worry unnecessarily. If something arrives that you do not understand, call the billing team on (480) 339-4825 and ask.
And the straight version: an emergency room visit bills at emergency rates. For a sore throat, an urgent care will cost you less and is the right choice. For chest pain, cost is the wrong thing to be weighing. If you are not sure which situation you are in, we wrote a page about exactly that.

About your bill, before you worry about it
If something arrives from your insurance company after your visit, it is almost certainly not a bill. It is an Explanation of Benefits — a statement of what they paid. The large number on it is not what you owe.
For emergency care, federal law limits your share to the ordinary in-network copay, coinsurance and deductible your plan already sets. We do not bill you for the difference, and we never will.
If anything you receive is unclear, call us before you pay it. Our billing team would rather explain a statement than have you pay something you do not owe.
