Your service begins at pickup. We transport you to your appointment, remain on site for the entire visit, and return you to your preferred drop-off location. Some appointments require a designated person to stay on site and accompany you afterward, and our driver can be that person, providing both the on-site wait and your transportation. It's coverage a traditional taxi or rideshare can't offer.
Our dispatch team will reach out shortly by phone to confirm availability, your pickup time, and details. If this is urgent please call us at 704-992-7433 and ask to speak with a live representative.
Reliable Transportation for Surgeries and Outpatient Procedures
When you have a medical procedure that involves anesthesia or sedation, you cannot drive yourself, and most facilities will not allow you to use rideshare. The Doctor Ride provides safe, dependable transportation to and from hospitals, surgery centers, specialty clinics, and outpatient procedure facilities. Your driver stays on site for the entire appointment and brings you home immediately when you're cleared by your medical team.
We specialize in private-pay non-emergency medical transportation for surgeries, outpatient procedures, post-operative appointments, and all medical visits that require a responsible adult to wait for you.

Wait & Return Transportation for Sedation and Anesthesia
Most surgery centers and outpatient procedure facilities will not allow patients to arrive alone or use rideshare when sedation or anesthesia is involved. The Doctor Ride provides a driver who acts as your waiting companion throughout your entire appointment. Your driver will:
- Arrive early and check you in if needed
- Stay on site during the full procedure
- Communicate with family if required
- Be available the moment you're cleared to leave
- Assist you safely into the vehicle
- Drive you home and help you get settled
This service gives you the peace of mind and safety required for any procedure involving anesthesia.
