Bedford's approximately 46,000 residents are served by a community known for Northeast Mall and L.D. Bell High School. What Bedford doesn't have is a freestanding emergency room with on-site urinalysis and same-visit antibiotics around the clock. The nearest hospital ER can mean hours in a crowded waiting room; Bedford-area urgent cares and doctor's offices typically close by evening and aren't equipped to rule out a kidney infection.
That's why so many Bedford residents rely on ER Of Fort Worth at 4561 Heritage Trace Parkway — just 12 miles from Bedford via Hwy 121 & I-820. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. When burning, urgency, or back pain hits near Northeast Mall and L.D. Bell High School in the middle of the night, our team is ready with rapid urinalysis and same-visit UTI treatment — including IV antibiotics and IV fluids for severe cases.

Should I go to urgent care, my doctor, or the ER for a UTI from Bedford?
If you only have mild burning or frequency and it's during business hours, a Bedford-area urgent care or your doctor may be able to prescribe oral antibiotics. But if you have fever, chills, back pain, vomiting, are pregnant, or your symptoms came on fast and severe, you need ER-level care — including on-site urinalysis, urine culture, IV antibiotics and IV fluids if needed. Most Bedford urgent cares close by evening and can't run the labs needed to rule out a kidney infection.

Do you treat UTIs in pregnancy for Bedford patients?
Yes — and pregnant patients should always have UTIs treated promptly to prevent complications like preterm labor or kidney infection. We use pregnancy-safe antibiotics and can coordinate with your OB.
How do I know if my UTI has turned into a kidney infection?
Fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or pain in your back or side along with UTI symptoms usually means the infection has reached the kidney (pyelonephritis). Bedford residents with these symptoms should come to the ER rather than waiting for a callback from their doctor's office.
Can Bedford patients use online check-in for a UTI visit?
Yes — and we encourage it for non-severe symptoms. Our online check-in at /online-check-in/ lets you submit your information before leaving Bedford so our staff can begin intake preparation. If you have fever, chills, back pain, or are pregnant with UTI symptoms, call or come straight in rather than pausing to fill out a form.
