When Houston physician Jeff Thompson, MD, comes home after working a shift at Altus Lumberton Emergency Center he’s not completely exhausted from his shift. He said it’s much different from his shifts at a hospital ED where he sees what seems like a limitless flow of patients.

“I consider it to be like the private practice of emergency care,” he said.

Dr. Victor Ho and Dr. Jeff Thompson, joint-owners of Texas-based Quality Emergency Services (QES), are among those embracing one of the fastest growing segments of health care — the freestanding emergency department. QES, partnered with Altus Healthcare Management Services, currently staffs three Altus Emergency Center freestanding EDs in the surrounding Houston area — Baytown, Lake Jackson, and Lumberton — in addition to the emergency department at Altus Baytown Hospital. 

At EMrecruits, we take pride in partnering with some of the top emergency medicine physician groups across the country.  This could not be any better represented than our very own Dr. David Arai being recently named one of the " Best Doctors in Collin County" by D Magazine.
