MyFredy Medical Companion Escort Service
Most Tampa Bay surgery centers require a responsible adult to be present from check‑in through discharge. MyFredy fulfills this requirement: we arrive with you, remain available during the procedure, receive discharge instructions, and provide a safe ride home after surgery.

What Tampa Clients Say
(verified client feedback)
MyFredy helped me with discharge from a surgery in Tampa home to Sarasota - my fredy was super chill and put me at ease the whole time. thanks!
Providers across Tampa require patients undergoing outpatient procedures to have a responsible adult—often described as a “friend or family member”—present at check-in, available on-site, and able to escort them home. MyFredy was built for this exact need with trained, reliable companions who show up early, communicate with staff, and follow discharge instructions.
We’re more than a ride. Our service combines door-to-door outpatient transportation with in-person support before, during, and after your appointment. Patients in Tampa book us for transportation to and from medical appointments when a trusted adult is required on-site—not just for driving.
Common reasons people book in Tampa:
A dedicated companion who waits during your procedure and escorts you home
Private, door-to-door support for GI, ophthalmology, dental sedation, and orthopedic visits
Patient transport service for ambulatory patients that meets provider requirements
Coordination with clinics and hospitals (hospital transportation services and discharge support)
Scope: We serve ambulatory patients only; we are not a wheelchair van, stretcher, or ambulance service. HIPAA-aware, insured, and focused on short-term outpatient care.
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 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.
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.
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.

5 Stars – Highly Recommended!
I used MyFredy for a medical ride, and they were excellent. Jonathan, my driver, arrived at 5:30 AM for a 6:15 appointment and stayed through the whole 2-hour procedure. He was right on time, very kind, and made the whole process easy. I really appreciated the service and would definitely use them again.
