If you have a procedure scheduled at a United Digestive location — whether it’s a colonoscopy, endoscopy, or another outpatient GI procedure — you’ve likely been told the same thing:
You must have a responsible adult escort you home afterward.
It’s not just a suggestion — it’s a strict safety requirement.
And if you don’t have someone to accompany you, your procedure may be canceled.
That’s where MyFredy’s Medical Companion Escort Service steps in — providing a professional, reliable, and HIPAA-compliant solution when you need it most.
Why You Need an Escort After a GI Procedure
During most GI procedures at United Digestive locations, patients are given sedation or anesthesia to keep them comfortable. While you might "feel awake" shortly after, the effects of anesthesia can linger — affecting your coordination, judgment, and reflexes for several hours.
For your safety (and legal protection), United Digestive requires:
✔️ A responsible adult to be present at discharge
✔️ Safe transportation home — no driving yourself, walking, biking, or taking an Uber/Lyft alone
✔️ Ideally, someone to stay with you for a short time afterward
If you show up without a qualified escort, they may not perform your procedure at all — leading to costly rescheduling fees and delays in your care.
