Surgery Transportation in Charlotte
How to Get to and from Your Procedure Without the Stress
Whether you're heading in for a colonoscopy, knee replacement, cataract surgery, or any other outpatient procedure, arranging reliable, comfortable transportation is a must. In Charlotte, more patients and caregivers are turning to non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services like The Doctor Ride to get to and from surgery—on time, safely, and with special accommodations available.
What Is Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) for Surgery?
Non-emergency medical transportation is a scheduled ride service for people needing help getting to and from healthcare appointments—including planned surgeries that don’t require an ambulance.
At The Doctor Ride, we offer private-pay NEMT services across Charlotte. That means:
You book directly with us (no broker delays)
We tailor every ride to your surgical and recovery needs
Our drivers are CPR-certified and trained in post-op assistance
Types of Procedures We Frequently Transport For
We accommodate many common surgeries, including:
Orthopedic: Knee replacement, hip replacement, ACL repair
Ophthalmology: Cataract surgery, LASIK, retina procedures
GI: Colonoscopy, endoscopy, hernia repair
Plastic Surgery: Tummy tucks, facelifts, liposuction
Cardiology: Pacemaker implantation, cardiac cath
Oncology: Biopsy, chemo port placement, follow-ups
ENT & Dental: Sinus surgery, wisdom tooth extraction
General Surgery: Gallbladder removal, laparoscopic procedures
Many of these procedures involve sedation, anesthesia, or mobility restrictions, which is why we provide door-to-door support and private, recovery-conscious transport.
Why Choose Private NEMT Instead of Ride-Share or Friends?

Ride-shares cancel often. We confirm your ride and follow through.
✅ Custom Scheduling
We work around your surgery schedule—including early check-ins or delayed releases.
✅ Post-Op Comfort
Clean, quiet, climate-controlled vans designed for mobility aid use and privacy.
✅ Wait or Return Service
Your ride can wait on-site or return later, with real-time coordination.
