Transportation for Colonoscopies & Endoscopies

Endoscopies and colonoscopies are vital diagnostic tools that help detect and prevent serious health issues—especially in the digestive system. During the procedure, the doctor will put a thin, flexible tube, called a scope, in your mouth and gently move it down the throat into your stomach.

While these procedures are generally safe and routine, they often require sedation, making it unsafe for patients to drive afterward.

That’s why Cardinal Medical Transportation offers specialized, compassionate, and timely transportation services for patients undergoing these essential procedures.

Here’s why having trusted transportation—like Cardinal—is more than a convenience: it’s a crucial part of your care plan.

You Can’t Drive Yourself Home After Sedation

Most endoscopic procedures involve sedation to ensure comfort and reduce anxiety. Even if you feel “okay” afterward, sedation impairs judgment, motor skills, and reaction time—making it dangerous and illegal to drive yourself home.

Cardinal provides a safe alternative, so you don’t have to rely on a friend, relative, or risk rescheduling due to transportation concerns.

Support for Seniors and Mobility-Limited Patients

Many patients receiving colonoscopies or endoscopies are older adults or individuals with mobility challenges. Our fleet includes wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and our drivers are trained in assisting patients gently and respectfully.

No stairs? No problem. We’re equipped to handle every part of your journey with care.

Post-Procedure Peace of Mind

After your procedure, we’ll be there as soon as you're cleared to leave. Our drivers offer light assistance to help you back into the vehicle and get you home comfortably.

Unlike a rideshare or taxi, Cardinal prioritizes your health and dignity—you’re not just another passenger.

Caregiver Coordination Available

If you have a caregiver or loved one who wants to stay informed, we’re happy to coordinate with them regarding arrival times, location changes, or medical staff instructions. You’re never alone in the process.
