FAMILY EMERGENCY ROOM AT GEORGETOWN
PERSONALIZED PATIENT SERVICE & ENHANCED EMERGENCY CARE
Awelcoming, personal greeting in a comfortable waiting area awaits patients who come to Family Emergency Room at Georgetown. The goal of this premier health care provider located at 1210 W. University Ave in Georgetown, next to Walgreens is to provide personal, patient-centered care that combines a state-of-the-art facility with caring attention.

The beautiful Georgetown facility treats children and adults in a comfortable, private setting that truly puts patients first. From day one, the mission was to create a practice where patients receive the care and attention they deserve, directly from a Board Certified Emergency Physician. “I wanted to practice personalized Emergency Medicine in an environment that would allow me to spend as much time with my patients as needed. This is an exceptional facility that allows me to truly focus on patient needs while ensuring an effective treatment plan,” Dr. Ryan Prudoff says.
Dr. John Valentini, Dr. Prudoff, and Dr. Rick Daniels are Board Certified in Emergency Medicine and have more than 55 years of combined experience. They are well prepared to handle any emergency, from broken bones to heart events.

The facility is equipped with a CT scanner, X-ray, and ultrasound, as well as a full in-house laboratory equipped with a state-of-theart PCR Rapid Testing, which detects 21 viruses and bacteria in about one hour. Comprehensive cardiac evaluations are performed utilizing Cardiac Coronary CT Angiography, which directly visualizes heart vessels and can accurately determine coronary heart disease without an invasive catheter procedure. “We are very fortunate to have Coronary CT angiography in our practice. It enables us to safely discharge patients home who present with symptoms concerning for heart disease,” Dr. Prudoff says.
I was highly impressed with how clean the facility was. The staff took excellent care of me. I was in severe pain while passing a kidney stone. Everyone was extremely professional as well as attentive. I will definitely be coming back if I have another emergency! Thank you Danielle, RN, Sandra, Med tech and Dr Valentini! You all were amazing!!!
These are the kindest nurses and doctors. Everyone seemed genuinely friendly and as though they liked their job. The room was as comfortable as a ER room can be, and they made sure I was as comfortable as I could be, turning off the lights and giving me heated blankets to nap while waiting on test results, apologizing for waking me up when they came back in. I don't think anyone has ever care about that before at an ER in my experiences. It was a more warm and professional experience than any urgent care or ER experience. It will absolutely be where I take other family members if we need an ER again.
Dr. Valentini adds, “We ensure the highest safety standards for our patients and staff. Our facility maintains an exceptional standard of sanitation, including individual in-room and central HEPA filtration, UV and chemical sterilization, and fresh linens for every patient.”
Improving Emergency Care
Doctors and staff take time to build rapport with every patient, and every patient leaves with the doctor’s contact information. “It is my hope that patients receive a level of care that will make stressful situations more comfortable. Patients deserve that personal attention. It was important for us to create a practice where clients have continued access to their physician. I enjoy talking with patients and giving them any support needed to facilitate their healing,” Dr. Valentini says.
Among the many 5-star Google reviews, high quality care is mentioned countlessly. One recent review says, “This is by far the best ER I have ever been to in my life. Unfortunately, I’ve had quite a few visits to ERs…this one outshines them all. I actually don’t dread having to go to the ER because the experience is always so above par here.”



"We are honored to provide medical services to the Georgetown, Liberty Hill, Jarrell, and surrounding communities," Dr. Valentini says. "And to serve as a trusted community partner."


IMPRESSIVE & PERSONABLE
This is the only emergency room I have been to where the physicians are exceptionally competent (and kind). The nurses are happy, and the staff works together as a cohesive team! They practice patient & family centered care. You are treated as a member of your healthcare team - involved as much as possible in the decisionmaking process - and you will be treated respectfully.
(...) As a nurse, who has worked in the ED in the past, I trust them with my life and my family's lives. Thank you for caring, listening, and catching and treating life-threatening conditions other emergency rooms often miss!
Keeping Up With Growth
With Georgetown, Liberty Hill, and Jarrell continuing to attract new residents from all over the country and Georgetown being the fastest-growing city in the U.S. for cities with a population above 50,000 Family ER strives to meet the increasing need for immediate health care services. “New residents need quality and safe care in their neighborhoods,” Dr. Valentini says. “We’re here to serve the fastest growing communities in Williamson County when the unexpected happens!”
Family ER meets their community neighbors by supporting local businesses, participating in school PTA functions, and attending Chamber and community events.

The experience of working with gangs and teens with drug addictions as a pastor in Los Angeles was, Joe Stephens admits, quite different from shepherding a community church in Jarrell today. Fortunately, many of the resources and means he used to help families get back on their feet, both spiritually and relationally, are universal. “Coming to Jarrell was a big shift, but I feel we’re able to have a massive impact in a smaller community. There’s a huge number of people moving into the community, and they are looking for a church, new friends, and the opportunity to establish a new life. It’s a great environment to build a community-based family church.”
