Happy Patients
Prior to my experience at Family First I was terrified of Emergency Rooms. I came in for heart arrhythmia and the staff sprung to action and put me at ease immediately. I stayed overnight and left feeling like we were all old friends.
Michelle Henner
I brought my daughter straight into Family First after an unfortunate soccer injury. We were both super pleased with our stay! The care that she was given by the attending doctor and nursing staff was as though we were family.
Olivia Lamb
I had to visit Family First when life threw me a curve-ball, and from the moment I walked in everyone was extremely reassuring and professional. This was the friendliest medical establishment I've ever been in.

Frequently Asked Questions
A freestanding ER (emergency room) is a medical facility that offers emergency medical services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is independent of a hospital (although it may be owned by one), and is regulated and licensed by the state. A freestanding ER, as its name implies, is not physically connected to a hospital.
Typically, freestanding ERs are placed in locations convenient for patients and offer shorter wait times than traditional ERs.
Urgent care facilities are equipped to handle only minor or routine medical issues. In many states, they are not regulated or licensed, and you may see a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant rather than a doctor. Many urgent care facilities do not offer onsite radiology or laboratory services. Clinical capabilities may differ between facilities and services may be limited to specific hours of operation.
A freestanding ER is equipped to treat any and all adult and pediatric medical emergencies. It has onsite radiology and laboratory services. A radiologist is available to read X-rays and other images immediately. By law, a freestanding ER must be staffed with board-certified physicians.
You are only responsible for the copay or co-insurance required by your insurance provider.
If you don’t have insurance or do not wish to use it, we offer a discount when payment is made in full at the time of service. Also, we accept all major credit cards, including Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and American Express.
