What a Virtual ER visit looks like
Real situations we treat every day. Here is how a visit typically goes — illustrative examples, not testimonials.
2 a.m. and a child's fever won't break
Instead of packing everyone into the car for the ER waiting room, a parent starts a visit from the couch. A board-certified clinician evaluates the child over video, advises on fever management, and — if needed — sends a prescription to a 24-hour pharmacy or arranges in-person care.
Burning with every trip to the bathroom
Classic UTI symptoms flare up mid-workday. Rather than wait days for an appointment, a visit connects you with a physician who can diagnose and send antibiotics to your pharmacy.
A rash that's spreading fast
A rash or allergic reaction appears and it's not clear how serious it is. A physician reviews it over video, decides whether it's urgent, and prescribes the right treatment — or escalates you to in-person care if it's needed.
Out of a prescription you can’t skip
It's late and you've run out of a medication you can't go without. A physician reviews your history, confirms a refill is appropriate, and sends it to your pharmacy — no waiting for an office to open.
Video care backed by the Bellaire ER clinical team.
Virtual ER visits are provided by the physicians and nurse practitioners of Bellaire ER, a licensed freestanding emergency center in Bellaire, Texas. You connect by video; you are not being directed to a Virtual ER clinic in your town.

What patients say
I used Virtual ER yesterday and it worked like a charm, computer to computer. If you have a migraine or a bad cold you can call the ER doctor and he will diagnose you with your web cam. And he can email your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice. I don't have to drag my half dead body to the doctor's office. This is GREAT!
I have taken my girls here a few time for various issues (broken arm, high fever, allergic reaction) I've always been happy with the care given. The support staff and doctors are great.
Efficient and knowledgeable Doctor! This was a very timely consultation, which is what you need when you have sick kids, in our case it was 2 kids with ear infections.
The care at the clinic is wonderful. They have a great team. I arrived in poor health, and the receptionist, the nurse, the radiology technician, and Dr. Quintanilla all attended to me quickly.
