Nutex micro hospitals focus on ensuring that patients receive a
premium patient experience. Our hospitals feature short ER
wait times averaging 15 minutes from entering the door to seeing a
physician, high-quality care, lower nursing- and
physician-to-patient staffing ratios and faster discharge
times. Physicians, nurses and other employees are
incentivized to provide quality, compassionate care to their
patients. Nutex micro hospitals consistently have better
outcomes and high patient satisfaction scores, with well over 1000
five-star Google reviews.
"We are excited to continue to expand Nutex's network of micro
hospitals across the country," stated Tom
Vo, M.D., MBA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex
Health. "Both New Braunfels and Gilbert are vibrant and rapidly growing
suburbs of major metropolitan areas. Our goal is to provide
high-quality acute medical care to the populations of these
communities."
"Entering the medical field, my goal was always to try to
revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered to our
patients. Our unique model allows physicians and nurses to
retake control of patient care," stated Trey Allen, M.D., Medical Director at New
Braunfels ER & Hospital. "We are committed to working
with the community to make sure they can receive the healthcare
they deserve."
"As physicians, we saw how healthcare was being delivered, and
we felt we could do better. We felt the humanity and
compassion were absent from many medical interactions. We
value and respect our patients, and treat them as family," stated
Daniel Stites, M.D., Medical
Director at East Valley ER & Hospital.
