We put patients at the center of all we do, from our inpatient services supported by dedicated and caring doctors, nurses and specialty staff to our fully equipped and staffed emergency departments.” Growing with the Community A group of physicians established Doctors Hospital of Laredo in May 1974. The facility was located on 500 E. Mann Road. Their vision has resulted in years of growth, development and change. “We are so grateful to the doctors who have been here since the beginning. We continue to work with many of the physicians who have been here for over 47 years. They brought their vision to the table and it has grown and expanded into what Doctors Hospital is today,” says Montes-Ewing. Over the next 15 to 20 years, the city of Laredo is expected to nearly double in population size. In preparation for this growth, Doctors Hospital of Laredo continues to invest in its infrastructure, enhance its service lines and improve the quality of care provided to this community. Doctors Hospital of Laredo is an acute care facility that offers a comprehensive range of medical services including emergency, cancer, cardiopulmonary and intensive care services. It is home to a catheterization lab, cardiac care unit, sleep center and laboratory. The hospital also offers programs that include open-heart surgery, inpatient and outpatient surgery, radiology and women’s services. The hospital is steadfast in its commitment to service excellence and patient satisfaction. As Laredo grows, Doctors Hospital continues to grow right there alongside the great city, providing patients with the healthcare they need when and where they need it most. Through its “Network of Care,” Doctors Hospital operates one clinic, four diagnostic centers, two freestanding emergency rooms, a mobile clinic and an MRI site conveniently located throughout the community.
