Need a Ride to Your Next Medical Appointment? The Doctor Ride Makes It Easy
When it comes to getting to and from medical appointments, reliable transportation can make all the difference. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, attending a follow-up visit, or managing ongoing treatment, finding safe and dependable medical transportation shouldn’t be stressful.
At The Doctor Ride, we make it simple. We provide non-emergency medical transportation across Charlotte, NC, and surrounding areas — offering clean, comfortable, and ADA-compliant vehicles for both ambulatory and wheelchair-accessible passengers. Our mission is to help patients, seniors, and caregivers get to every medical appointment safely, comfortably, and on time.
Why Reliable Medical Appointment Transportation Matters
Many people don’t realize how challenging it can be to get to their doctor’s appointments until they face mobility or scheduling difficulties. Rideshare services are often unreliable, family members can’t always take time off work, and public transit may not be accessible.
That’s where The Doctor Ride steps in — providing professional medical appointment transportation you can count on. Our drivers are trained, compassionate, and punctual. We specialize in non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) that gives you peace of mind.
We regularly serve patients needing rides to:
Primary care doctors and specialist appointments
Dialysis treatments and physical therapy sessions
Outpatient surgery centers and rehabilitation clinics
Dental, vision, and post-op appointments
Hospitals, imaging centers, and urgent care clinics
Whether it’s a one-time visit or a recurring schedule, our team ensures every ride is prompt, safe, and personalized.
Our Commitment to Safe, Comfortable Medical Transportation
All Doctor Ride vehicles are maintained to the highest standards for safety, cleanliness, and ADA compliance. We understand the unique needs of individuals requiring medical appointment transportation, including wheelchair access, door-to-door assistance, and extra care during boarding and drop-off.
Each vehicle includes:
Wheelchair lift or ramp
Secure wheelchair restraints
Sanitized interiors before each trip
Comfortable seating and climate control
GPS monitoring for on-time arrivals
Our drivers are not just drivers — they’re trained professionals who specialize in medical transportation and treat every passenger with dignity and care.
Convenient Booking Options
Scheduling your medical ride with The Doctor Ride couldn’t be easier. You can call us directly or book online through our website. We’ll confirm all the details — including your pickup time, appointment location, and any special instructions — to make sure your medical transportation experience is seamless.
We offer:
One-time rides for doctor appointments or outpatient procedures
Wait-and-return service so your driver stays during your visit
Recurring ride programs for ongoing appointments
Door-to-door assistance for those needing help entering or exiting facilities
Whether you’re scheduling a same-day appointment or planning weeks in advance, The Doctor Ride ensures your transportation needs are covered.

Wheelchair and Ambulatory Transportation
Our wheelchair-accessible vans make it easy for patients with mobility challenges to travel comfortably. Every van is equipped with ADA-compliant ramps or lifts, and our drivers are trained to assist passengers safely.
For those who don’t require a wheelchair, we also provide ambulatory transportation — meaning we can assist passengers who walk with or without aid. This flexibility ensures we meet a wide range of medical transportationneeds in the Charlotte area.
Recurring Medical Rides Made Simple
If you have regular medical appointments, our recurring ride program can simplify your routine. Instead of booking multiple times, we’ll reserve your transportation in advance — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — ensuring your driver is ready whenever you need them.
This service is perfect for:
Dialysis patients
Physical therapy clients
Ongoing treatment schedules
Senior patients with routine checkups
Reliable, recurring transportation helps patients stay consistent with care — improving health outcomes and peace of mind.
Private Medical Transportation You Can Trust
While many transportation companies focus solely on insurance-based trips, The Doctor Ride proudly offers private-pay medical transportation options. That means anyone — individuals, families, or caregivers — can schedule a medical ride directly without needing an insurance authorization.
This flexibility is ideal for:
Patients recovering from surgery or cosmetic procedures
Seniors without family nearby
Out-of-town visitors attending local appointments
Individuals preferring a higher level of service and reliability
Every private medical transportation ride includes personalized care, timely arrivals, and transparent pricing.
