“Absolutely love Rice Emergency room. Never had to wait longer that 5 minutes and they’re efficient and take care of you quickly. And if you’re really sick they transport you to the hospital. I’m a repeat customer and and just can’t say enough about the care I received there, especially from Gavin the nurse.”
