Medical Procedure Companions & Transportation in Gainesville for Outpatient Surgery and Other Outpatient Surgeries

MyFredy – Gainesville

Fast confirmation. No obligation until checkout.
Nearby service areas:Jacksonville, Ocala, Orlando

MyFredy provides trusted adult companions and private transportation for outpatient procedures in Gainesville and Alachua County. Our role is to arrive on time, remain on-site throughout the procedure, be present during discharge, and ensure every patient returns home safely. This service is essential because providers in Gainesville require a responsible adult at check-in, discharge, and the trip home. Many patients do not have a family member or friend who can commit an entire day, and without that support, procedures may be delayed or canceled. MyFredy solves that problem by being the reliable, professional companion every provider requires—giving patients confidence and medical teams peace of mind.

Why Choose MyFredy in Gainesville
  • Peace of Mind

    Our clients in Gainesville often talk about how our medical companion service offers them peace of mind and lowers their anxiety in the days prior to and on the day of procedure. Unlike a friend or family member, it is our profession to be there when and where you need us and to be helpful thorough the process.

  • Avoid Delays & Cancellations

    Providers in Gainesville will likely cancel your procedure if you show up without your trusted adult companion. MyFredy Medical Procedure Companions is a professional service that allows you to book your appointments with peace of mind that you will have someone to take you and bring you home while meeting your doctor's requirements.

  • Private & Discreet Transportation

    Our MyFredy Medical Procedure Companions in Gainesville provide safe and private transportation in late model cars and SUVs. Our cars are not wrapped or include any signage. Our full service includes round trip service and our Discharge Home Service is one way from the facility (requires provider approval that you can arrive solo).

Trusted & Compliant:

MyFredy companions stay with patients from check-in through discharge and provide safe private transportation home after outpatient procedures in Gainesville. We meet and exceed Florida’s compliance standards by ensuring a trusted adult is always present when required. Providers count on this presence because state rules mandate that no patient can undergo anesthesia or sedation without a responsible adult available throughout the process. By sending HIPAA-aware, vetted, and reliable companions, MyFredy gives patients the confidence that their care will proceed smoothly and gives medical teams assurance that every compliance requirement is covered. MyFredy is trusted by patients and providers alike.

Common Procedures in Gainesville:

MyFredy companions support patients across Gainesville with safe, reliable accompaniment for the most common outpatient procedures. These include colonoscopies, endoscopies, cataract and other eye surgeries, orthopedic surgeries such as knee or hip replacements, plastic and cosmetic procedures, dental implant treatments, and pain management injections. Each of these requires a trusted adult at check-in, discharge, and return home. By waiting on-site and providing private transportation, we make it possible for patients to complete these procedures without delay, even when friends or family are unavailable.

Gainesville Areas We Serve:

MyFredy companions regularly assist patients at leading medical centers and outpatient facilities across Gainesville. These include UF Health Shands Hospital, UF Health Springhill, HCA Florida North Florida Hospital, the VA Medical Center, North Florida Surgical Pavilion, and local specialty clinics for gastroenterology, ophthalmology, dentistry, and orthopedics. Many patients from surrounding towns travel into Gainesville specifically for these facilities, where providers require a trusted adult to remain present throughout the procedure. By waiting on-site and ensuring safe private transportation home, MyFredy helps patients complete their care at Gainesville’s top hospitals and surgical centers without delays or cancellations.

Facilities We Support in Gainesville:

MyFredy companions regularly assist patients at AdventHealth Ocala, HCA Florida Ocala Hospital, and UF Health The Villages® Hospital, along with nearby surgery centers, GI clinics, eye institutes, and orthopedic practices throughout Marion and Sumter Counties. We also support patients who travel to larger regional facilities in Leesburg, Inverness, and Gainesville when their procedure requires it.

FAQs: Gainesville Medical Companions
What if my Gainesville medical appointment takes longer than I booked?

Great Service

For medical procedures, this is a great service to get to and from and have the “responsible person” requirement fulfilled. Great customer service and will definitely use again.

Highly Recommend!

From the ease of scheduling the appointment to the actual professionalism on the day of service is top-notch. I feel confident in using My Fredy services again. I will recommend to others. Thank you

I had a great experience.

I had a great experience with MyFredy for my colonoscopy. Jonathan was helpful and Mike, my medical escort was very attentive.

Great Service for a first time user.

I got an open dental surgery appointment due to a cancellation. No one to take me. Found MyFredy through Google. Spoke with Jonathan . Set my appointment online. Paid in full online to take advantage of discount. Jonathan was early, friendly, and invested in helping me. He even followed up with a call later that night to check on me. 10 out of 10

Extremely professional, prompt, and helpful. A worry free way to make it to an appointment that required a driver. Cannot say enough good things about the whole experience.

First Class!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience using this service. I wasn’t familiar with the service and it was my first time using it. But the level of professionalism, timeliness and care exceeded my expectations. Knowledgeable and reliable.

Dependable

Dependable Transportation and Hospital Visits.

My necessary medical transportation

Every step, from initial contact to scheduling to the transportation with the driver remaining on site to the drive home and to even follow up call from Jonathan expressing concern, I found MyFredy a godsend

Extremely happy

I had a procedure that required an escort. Very happy I chose MyFredy. Professional, kind and reliable. Great communication on the whole process. Would highly recommend

Happy to Recommend MyFredy

I was assisted by MyFredy in helping a family member return home from a surgical procedure and an overnight stay in the hospital. The person picking him up was thorough and thoughtful. He was dependable and compassionate. I felt confident that the family member was well cared for and protected. Thank you Myfredy for your professional service. I also appreciated your straight forward approach to your charges. I understood what the fee was and that’s what the charge was. I would be happy to recommend MyFredy.

I will call on MyFredy again.

I had an excellent experience with MyFredy this morning.He was in control and efficient. This is my first experience with a medical escort and I was very anxious, but this anxiety disappeared as soon as I met him.  Thank you so much.

MyFredy to the rescue

This is a fantastic service for anyone in need of a medical escort for select outpatient appointments. I wouldn’t have been able to have mine if it weren’t for MyFredy. Easy to book and fair pricing. Recommend!

Great service!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate.

Fantastic service in every way

I relocated to Atlanta and didn't know anyone but needed to have an outpatient medical procedure under anesthesia within 3 weeks and needed a driver. I found MyFredy and it was the ONLY service that would stay while I underwent the procedure. Jonathan's communication was exceptional, he was early on the day of the procedure, affable and a great conversationalist, and respected my privacy. I'm grateful for this business. Several will take and pick up but I couldn't find any that will stay with a person during an appointment. I had met my insurance deductible for the year and being able to find this business so I didn't have to pay for the procedure by scheduling in a new calendar year saved me thousands. So glad he found a niche and making a difference.

Thanks MyFredy

This is an excellent service - prompt and reliable. Highly recommend.

I almost canceled my appointment because I needed someone to wait for me

Last minute my boyfriend couldn’t take me to my colonoscopy. I found MyFreddy and Jonathan was the perfect solution! He was kind, friendly and very helpful! And it was good I went in when I did because I needed additional treatment. Could not recommend more highly!

Questions People Often Ask:

Can I just take an Uber or Lyft home?

Most clinics won’t allow it. They need to confirm you’re leaving with a trusted adult who can stay with you post-procedure—rideshare drivers don’t qualify.

What if I don’t have anyone to go with me?

That’s exactly what we’re here for. When family or friends aren’t available, MyFredy sends someone reliable to meet the clinic’s requirements and make sure you get home safely.

How is this different from a rideshare?

We’re not just a ride. Your Fredy waits on-site during the procedure and helps with next steps. Clinics approve this—unlike a random driver.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, it’s best to reserve early to ensure coverage. Most bookings are made 3–7 days ahead of the procedure.
