“This emergency room is absolute AMAZING. Both my husband & I have been treated here & have had phenomenal experiences. They always treat you with love & respect. They run all of the tests that are needed, but they don’t add a bunch of unnecessary test. We all know that doctors are human, but sometimes I think some doctors forget that but not at Clear Creek Emergency Room. Dr. Luna, Dr. Cruz, and Rommel, RN are amazing!”
