We stay through dischargeYour Fredy remains available to satisfy the facility’s responsible-adult requirements and receive instructions.
3
Safe return and optional AftercareYour Fredy returns with you after any pharmacy stop. Continued non-clinical Aftercare at home or a hotel is always available.

Simple flat-rate pricing

Every booking includes a 30-minute grace period at no charge. If service runs beyond the booked block, additional time is invoiced after service under the booking terms. Pharmacy copays and other post-service charges are invoiced separately; your Fredy never handles billing or money on the day of service. Additional planned hours outside a base package are currently $80 per hour.

Aftercare is always an option

Continued non-clinical companion care is available at the patient’s home or hotel, including Aftercare-only bookings, for up to 24 hours.

MyFredy companions, or Fredys as we call ourselves, our vetted professionals from your community that enjoy serving others. We are locals and pride ourselves on being surrogates for your competent, reliable, and discreet friend that isn’t available.

Many procedure times are not provided until the last minute – cosmetic surgery and IVF treatments are most common. All procedures are subject to last minute changes. If you are uncertain, please select 7am or similar as a placeholder and make a note in the notes field during booking.

Why Clients Choose MyFredy for Ride Home After Surgery

Many clients find MyFredy when they need a ride home after surgery, a driver after a procedure, or transport after a colonoscopy and don’t have a responsible adult available.

Client:
“They told me the night before that I needed someone to stay during my colonoscopy and take me home after.”

MyFredy:
We provided a trusted adult to be present at check-in, remain on-site, and handle transport after colonoscopy, ensuring all discharge requirements were met.

Client:
“My ride canceled the morning of my procedure and the clinic said I couldn’t go in alone.”

MyFredy:
We arranged support so a Fredy could accompany the client from arrival through discharge and provide a ride home after surgery, including receiving instructions.

Client:
“I needed someone to drive me home after my procedure but didn’t have anyone available.”

MyFredy:
We ensured a responsible adult was present throughout and provided a driver after surgery so the client could safely return home without delay.

Most outpatient facilities require a responsible adult to be present at check-in, remain during the appointment, and provide a ride home after sedation or anesthesia. MyFredy is designed specifically to meet this requirement.


Many outpatient procedures require a friend, family member, responsible adult, or trusted adult for discharge after sedation. Common examples include:

Colonoscopy and endoscopy, orthopedic surgeries including knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder repair and sports medicine procedures, ophthalmology procedures such as cataract surgery, LASIK and glaucoma treatments, plastic and cosmetic surgeries performed in surgical centers, dental and oral surgeries including wisdom teeth removal, implants and maxillofacial procedures, ENT procedures such as sinus surgery, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and ear tube placements, pain management and spinal injections requiring sedation, cardiac catheterizations and outpatient interventional cardiology procedures, interventional radiology treatments including biopsies and ablations, women’s health procedures such as hysteroscopy, D&C, fertility treatments and outpatient gynecologic surgeries, urology procedures such as cystoscopy, prostate treatments and kidney stone removal, podiatric surgeries including bunionectomy and foot or ankle reconstruction, gastrointestinal motility studies requiring sedation, bariatric consultations and outpatient weight-loss procedures, dermatologic surgeries requiring anesthesia, outpatient oncology infusions or port placements.
