What a Virtual ER visit looks like

Real situations we evaluate every day. Here is how a video visit typically goes.

Overnight pediatric care

2 a.m. and a child's fever won't break

A parent starts a video visit from home. A board-certified emergency clinician evaluates the child on camera, guides fever management and hydration, and arranges in-person care when needed.

Same-day urinary care

Burning with every trip to the bathroom

Classic urinary tract symptoms flare up mid-workday. A quick video exam connects you with a physician who reviews your symptom timeline, checks for kidney warning signs, and outlines a clear care plan.

Acute skin evaluation

A rash that's spreading fast

A new rash or skin reaction appears and you need to know how serious it is. A physician inspects it over HD video, outlines a structured care plan, and guides you to an emergency room if hands-on care is required.

After-hours continuity

Reviewing a daily care plan after clinic hours

You have an after-hours question about an established blood pressure, thyroid, or asthma care plan. A physician reviews your history and home readings and outlines safe short-term next steps.

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.

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. I don't have to drag my half dead body to the doctor's office. This is GREAT!
