Online ER Waiting Service

You will check-in with an admitting nurse and on average can expect to see a doctor in less than 20 minutes. A Mercy Gilbert emergency department doctor will assess your situation and determine the next appropriate level of care. Our levels of care are broken into three parts:

  • Fast Track - patients with minor emergencies such as cuts or broken bones will receive treatment and go home to recover.
  • Treat and anticipate disposition - patients in need of short-term medication or intravenous treatment for dehydration from conditions such as the flu or food poisoning.
  • Acute Care - patients requiring immediate interventions or intensive monitoring as a result of a stroke or a heart attack.
