Knoxville Medical Companions & Surgery Transportation
HIPAA-compliant Knoxville, Tennessee Medical Procedure Companion, Patient Chaperone, Trusted Adult, and Private Transportation Service
for outpatient surgeries and procedures including check-in, on-site waiting, discharge assistance, and pharmacy stops.
Medical Procedure Companions & Transportation in Knoxville for Outpatient Surgery and Other Outpatient Surgeries
Patients in Knoxville and the surrounding Tennessee Valley are required by their providers to have a trusted adult accompany them to and from outpatient procedures. Many people don’t have a friend or family member who can take an entire day off work, which can cause delays or cancellations. MyFredy fills that gap by providing professional medical procedure companions who serve as the trusted adult every provider requires.
Your Fredy arrives on time, checks in with staff, and remains on-site throughout the procedure to ensure you meet discharge requirements. Once cleared, your companion reviews post-op instructions with the care team, makes a pharmacy stop if needed, and provides private transportation home. With trained, insured, HIPAA-aware companions, Knoxville patients can complete their procedures safely and confidently — knowing reliable support is waiting from start to finish.
Why Choose MyFredy in Knoxville▾
Trusted & Reliable in Knoxville
MyFredy is known at most Knoxville hospitals, clinics, and surgery centers. We understand their requirements for a "Trusted Adult" to accompany you. They know we arrive on-time, wait patiently on-site, and are ready to support their discharge procedures.
Private & Discreet Transportation
Our MyFredy Medical Procedure Companions in Knoxville 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).
Avoid Delays & Cancellations
Providers in Knoxville 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.
Peace of Mind
Our clients in Knoxville 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.
Trusted & Compliant:▾
MyFredy is trusted by patients and providers because we meet and exceed Tennessee’s expectations for outpatient discharge support. Every procedure involving sedation or anesthesia requires that patients leave with a responsible adult — not a rideshare driver — who can check in, remain available during the procedure, and accompany the patient home. MyFredy companions are trained, insured, and HIPAA-aware, giving providers confidence that their discharge policies are being followed correctly.
Compliance at MyFredy goes beyond transportation. Each companion (called a Fredy) verifies appointment details, maintains communication with the facility, and assists with post-procedure instructions to ensure safe recovery. From cataract centers in West Knoxville to surgery suites near UT Medical Center, our service aligns with provider requirements while giving patients peace of mind and independence.
Common Procedures in Knoxville:▾
MyFredy companions in Knoxville regularly assist patients at outpatient surgery centers, endoscopy suites, and specialty clinics across the metro area. Common procedures include cataract and other eye surgeries, colonoscopy and endoscopy, orthopedic and joint procedures, dental implants, plastic and reconstructive surgeries, pain management injections, and IV infusions.
Many patients also book MyFredy companions for same-day discharge after minor surgeries or procedures requiring sedation. Whether your appointment is at a major health system like UT Medical Center, Parkwest, or Tennova, or a private surgical practice in Farragut or West Knoxville, our companions are trained to meet provider expectations and ensure a safe, supported discharge home.

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.
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 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.
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.
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
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
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 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.
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!
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.
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!

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.

I came from Los Angeles for plastic surgery at CG Cosmetics in Coral Gables, and MyFredy made the whole process stress-free. They provided round-trip service, waited at the clinic, and even picked up my prescriptions during surgery so there were no delays in recovery. Professional, reliable, and such a relief when you don’t have local support.

myfredy is awesome!!! didn’t think places like this existed until I found myfredy. never had a need for a medical escort because my family has always been able to take me to all my medical appointments. However, I just moved into the Jorge area by myself and I have no friends here, no family. Nobody who is able to help me out. I had a dental procedure today & my fredy was jonathan & he was WONDERFUL. he offered to stop at the store on the way there & on the way back for me! asked if i was hungry after because he knew i hadn’t eaten bc of my procedure. He even called me a few hours after he dropped me off just to check in on me. I truthfully don’t think any other medical escort company would do that. And he personally called me himself. when I first called to set it up, he answered on the first ring, no automated message. Super easy to work with, and he gave me the link to book for the appointment. The website was super user-friendly. i’ll be booking again for the end of the month for another procedure that I have, and any other medical appointments where I need sedation in the future. going forward, myfredy will be my go to!!!!
