A stroke is a medical emergency where every minute counts — fast treatment can save brain function and lives. Our emergency team evaluates stroke symptoms 24/7 with immediate on-site CT imaging. If you see stroke signs, call 911 or get to the ER now.
A stroke happens when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked by a clot or a blood vessel bleeds. Brain cells begin to die within minutes — which is why doctors say “time is brain.”
Remember BE FAST: Balance loss, Eyesight changes, Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty — Time to get emergency care.
Even if symptoms disappear after a few minutes, it may have been a transient ischemic attack (TIA) — a serious warning sign of a future stroke that needs same-day emergency evaluation.

Call 911 or get to the ER immediately if you or someone near you shows any of these signs:
Stroke is never an urgent-care situation — here’s how to think about it:
Fast diagnosis saves lives. Everything we need is on-site — no waiting for outside imaging or lab results.
On-site CT imaging quickly shows whether a stroke is caused by a clot or bleeding — the critical first step.
A rapid, structured assessment of strength, speech, vision, and coordination by our ER physicians.
Blood tests check clotting, blood sugar, and other factors that guide stroke treatment.
EKG and rhythm monitoring — heart rhythm problems like AFib are a common stroke cause.
From check-in to relief — a clear, fast process designed around emergencies.
You’re seen quickly by our emergency team — serious symptoms are never left waiting.
A board-certified ER physician examines you and orders the right tests immediately.
Treatment begins on-site — from IV medication and fluids to stabilization and monitoring.
You leave with a diagnosis, a plan, and guidance — or coordinated hospital transfer if needed.

Quick answers to what patients ask us most.
Act immediately — note the time symptoms started, call 911 if they cannot be transported safely, and get emergency care right away. Do not wait to see if symptoms improve.
Time-sensitive stroke treatments work best in the first hours after symptoms begin. Knowing the start time helps physicians choose the safest, most effective treatment.
That may have been a TIA (“mini-stroke”) — a major warning sign. It still needs emergency evaluation the same day to help prevent a full stroke.
