Highland Village's approximately 16,000 residents are served by a community known for the Lake Lewisville shoreline, Doubletree Ranch Park, and Marcus High School. What Highland Village doesn't have is a 24/7 freestanding emergency room equipped to treat severe infections with intravenous antibiotics. The nearest hospital ER can mean hours of waiting; Highland Village-area urgent cares typically don't carry IV antibiotics or the staff to monitor an infusion.

We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
