Same-Day Outpatient Procedure Transportation

When you’re scheduled for a same-day outpatient procedure, one thing is certain:
you cannot drive yourself home after sedation.

Cardinal Transport provides safe, professional, and timely transportation for patients undergoing outpatient procedures, including colonoscopies, endoscopies, minor surgeries, imaging appointments, and more. Our trained drivers ensure you arrive safely, wait for your discharge (if needed), and get home comfortably with full assistance.

Whether you’re attending an appointment at a hospital, surgical center, or outpatient clinic, we make the entire process stress-free for you and your family.

Why Choose Cardinal Transport for Outpatient Procedures?

1. We Specialize in Post-Sedation Transportation

Procedures involving anesthesia or sedation require a responsible adult to transport you home. Our team provides reliable transportation and assistance so you can focus on recovery — not logistics.

2. Door-to-Door Assistance

We don’t just “pick you up.”
We provide full support, including help entering and exiting the vehicle, assistance with mobility, and safe arrival at your destination.

3. Wait-and-Return Service Available

Need us to stay during your procedure?
We offer waiting service, so your driver is right there when you’re discharged — no delays, no uncertainty.

4. Trained, Professional Drivers

All drivers are trained in:

• Assisting post-sedation patients

• Safety and securement procedures

• ADA compliance (for wheelchair passengers)

• Confidentiality and sensitivity

5. Comfortable, Clean, and Spacious Vehicles

Our vehicles are designed for a calm, comfortable ride home after your procedure. We offer:

• Wheelchair-accessible vans

• Standard sedans/SUVs for ambulatory patients

• Space for caregivers or family members (no extra charge)

6. Affordable, Transparent Pricing

You receive clear pricing before the ride, and we offer private-pay options, facility billing, and scheduling flexibility.
