Pre-Op and Post-Op Transportation in Charlotte
Reliable Rides for Surgery, Dental Procedures, and Sedation Appointments
When preparing for surgery, dental work, or any medical procedure involving sedation or anesthesia, one of the most overlooked—but critically important—needs is safe, reliable transportation. That’s where The Doctor Ride comes in. We provide non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas, making sure patients get to and from their pre-op and post-op appointments with care, comfort, and complete peace of mind.
Why You Shouldn’t Drive After Sedation
Whether you're undergoing general anesthesia, twilight sedation, or even mild conscious sedation, driving yourself afterward is unsafe—and often not allowed by your medical provider. After effects like drowsiness, blurred vision, delayed reaction time, or dizziness can linger for hours. That’s why having a dependable NEMT provider in Charlotte is crucial for:
Pre-operative transportation to surgery centers
Post-op rides after colonoscopies or endoscopies
Dental sedation appointment transportation
Eye surgery or cataract procedure pickup
Same-day surgery center drop-offs and pickups
Outpatient surgical recovery transport
IV sedation dental appointment rides

Why Choose The Doctor Ride for Post-Procedure Transport

The Importance of Medical-Grade Transportation
Many medical providers won’t allow patients to leave alone or in a rideshare due to liability. Using Uber or Lyft for post-op transport often violates medical policy. Our trained drivers are experienced in transporting patients after anesthesia and follow specific protocols to ensure a smooth and safe transition home.
