The full-service hospital in Southwest Austin offers a range of medical and surgical services, as well as an emergency department open 24/7.
Kenneth Corley MD, medical director of emergency medicine at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center- Austin, said the location of the hospital was chosen with the city’s future growth in mind.
“We're in a location that is accessible and easy to get to right off the highway,” Dr. Corley said. “We're in a convenient location for areas like Dripping Springs and South Austin, as well as everything that's growing in Oak Hill to the west of us.”
In addition to being close to home, the hospital is in a brand-new building that creates a calming environment for patients.
“When you arrive at our medical center, you feel like you're in a hotel or spa, not a sterile, clinical environment,” Dr. Corley said. “I think that's helpful to be able to be in an environment like that when you're seeking care."
Because Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Austin sits in a unique part of town, wait times are usually shorter, generally allowing for our patients to get care faster.
“Our wait times are usually short to see a provider, and we generally get to people at a very quick pace”, Dr. Corley said.
When patients see a physician on the medical staff in the ER, they will receive quality care from experienced individuals.
“The combined level of experience of our nurses in the ER on any given day is decades”, Dr. Corley said. “I think that is a big difference. When you're looking for a place [to receive medical care], you want experienced caregivers. One of the big things that we emphasize here is both compassion and clinical acumen. I think that this is a very unique location that has both of those things in abundance.”
In addition to an attentive emergency department, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center- Austin provides services in a wide range of specialties including breast surgery, heart and vascular care, women’s health, and urogynecology.
