Lake Worth's approximately 5,000 residents are served by a community known for the Lake Worth reservoir and Castle Hills. What Lake Worth 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; Lake Worth-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 Lake Worth residents rely on ER Of Fort Worth at 4561 Heritage Trace Parkway — just 16 miles from Lake Worth via Hwy 199 & 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 the Lake Worth reservoir and Castle Hills 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.

How do I know if my UTI has turned into a kidney infection?
