Medical Transport Services in Lodi, CA
From recurring dialysis rides to hospital discharge transport, Lodi Medical Transport provides comprehensive non-emergency medical transportation services tailored to your needs. Every service includes our professional drivers, wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and on-time guarantee.
Wheelchair-Accessible Transport
Our wheelchair-accessible transport service is designed for patients who use wheelchairs, power chairs, scooters, or other mobility devices. Every vehicle in our fleet is ADA-compliant and equipped with hydraulic lifts or fold-out ramps, Q'Straint wheelchair securement systems, and spacious interiors that allow comfortable positioning during the ride.
Our drivers are specifically trained in safe wheelchair loading, securement, and patient transfer techniques. They assist patients from their front door to the vehicle and from the vehicle into the medical facility, providing door-through-door support at every step. Whether you use a standard manual wheelchair, a power chair, or a motorized scooter, we have the equipment and expertise to transport you safely.
We accommodate bariatric patients with extra-wide seating and heavy-duty securement systems. If you have specific mobility needs, let us know when scheduling so we can assign the most appropriate vehicle and ensure your ride is as comfortable as possible.

Dialysis Transportation
Dialysis patients require transportation three or more times per week, every week, without exception. At Lodi Medical Transport, we understand that missing even a single dialysis session can lead to dangerous health complications. That is why we have built our scheduling system specifically to support the recurring, high-frequency transportation needs of dialysis patients.
Once your dialysis schedule is established, we set up standing ride appointments that automatically dispatch a vehicle to your home before each treatment and return you home afterward. You do not need to call before every session. Your rides are pre-scheduled, confirmed, and dispatched automatically so you can focus on your health rather than logistics.
After treatment, many patients experience fatigue, dizziness, or low blood pressure. Our drivers provide patient, compassionate assistance getting you safely from the clinic to your front door. We coordinate with dialysis centers throughout Lodi, Stockton, Manteca, and Sacramento to ensure smooth pickups and drop-offs.
What's Included
- Standing appointment schedules for recurring treatments
- On-time guarantee for every dialysis session
- Consistent driver assignments when possible
- Post-treatment assistance for fatigued patients
- Coordination with dialysis centers throughout the Valley
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicles available for all dialysis rides
Doctor & Specialist Appointments
Getting to routine doctor visits, specialist consultations, and outpatient appointments should not be a barrier to your health. Lodi Medical Transport provides reliable door-to-door transportation to primary care physicians, specialists, outpatient clinics, and medical offices throughout Lodi, San Joaquin County, and the greater Sacramento area.
Our wait-and-return service means your driver waits during your appointment and is ready to bring you home as soon as you are finished. For appointments with unpredictable durations, we offer a will-call return option where you simply call our dispatch when your visit is complete and we send a driver to pick you up.
We transport patients to a wide range of healthcare visits including annual physicals, cardiology appointments, oncology consultations, orthopedic follow-ups, lab work, imaging and radiology, dental visits, vision care, and mental health counseling. No appointment is too routine or too specialized for our service.

After a hospital stay, surgery, or outpatient procedure, the last thing you need is transportation stress. Lodi Medical Transport provides safe, comfortable rides home from hospitals and surgical centers throughout the region. We coordinate directly with hospital discharge planners, case managers, and nursing staff to ensure a smooth, seamless transition from the hospital to your home.
Our drivers are trained to assist patients who may be in post-surgical discomfort, experiencing limited mobility, or using temporary medical equipment such as crutches, walkers, or portable oxygen. We take extra care to ensure a gentle, smooth ride and help you get safely inside your home upon arrival.
We serve all major hospitals in the area including Adventist Health Lodi Memorial, Dameron Hospital in Stockton, St. Joseph Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health facilities, and UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento.

Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Rides
Recovery from surgery, injury, or illness often requires regular physical therapy and rehabilitation appointments. Consistent attendance is essential for a successful recovery, and missing sessions can set back your progress significantly. Lodi Medical Transport ensures you never miss a therapy appointment due to transportation barriers.
We offer recurring ride schedules for patients attending physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, and other rehabilitation programs. Like our dialysis transportation service, we can set up standing appointments so your rides are automatically scheduled without requiring you to call before each visit.
Our drivers understand that patients attending physical therapy may be in pain, have limited mobility, or be recovering from a recent procedure. They provide patient, gentle assistance and ensure a comfortable ride to and from your therapy sessions.
What's Included
- Recurring ride schedules for ongoing therapy
- Transport to physical, occupational, and speech therapy
- Cardiac rehabilitation and specialty rehab rides
- Patient assistance for those with limited mobility
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicles available
- Coordination with rehabilitation facilities
Senior & Elderly Transport
For seniors who no longer drive or who have mobility challenges, getting to medical appointments can be one of the biggest obstacles to maintaining their health and independence. Lodi Medical Transport provides patient, compassionate transportation designed specifically for the needs of elderly patients.
Our drivers take extra time to communicate clearly, assist with boarding and exiting the vehicle carefully, and ensure seniors feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire ride. We provide door-through-door service, meaning our drivers help patients from inside their home to the vehicle and from the vehicle into the medical facility — not just curb-to-curb drop-offs.
We regularly transport seniors to primary care visits, specialist appointments, pharmacies, lab work, and social engagements. For families who are coordinating care for elderly parents or grandparents, we offer a reliable alternative to taking time off work or rearranging schedules to provide rides.
What's Included
- Patient, compassionate drivers trained in elder care
- Door-through-door assistance at every stop
- Wheelchair and walker accommodation
- Clear communication and extra patience
- Coordination with family members and caregivers
- Rides to medical appointments, pharmacies, and more
Stretcher & Gurney Transport
Some patients cannot sit upright during transport due to recent surgery, severe back conditions, or other medical reasons. Our stretcher transport service provides safe, comfortable transportation for these patients in specially equipped gurney vehicles.
Stretcher transport is commonly used for patients being discharged from the hospital who cannot sit in a wheelchair or standard vehicle seat, patients transferring between medical facilities, and patients with conditions that require them to remain in a reclined or supine position during transit.
Our stretcher vehicles are equipped with medical-grade gurneys, proper restraint systems, and climate control. Drivers who operate stretcher transport vehicles receive additional training in safe patient loading, positioning, and securement for non-ambulatory patients.
What's Included
- Medical-grade gurney equipment
- Trained drivers for stretcher loading and securement
- Hospital-to-home and facility-to-facility transfers
- Climate-controlled vehicles
- Advance scheduling required
- Coordination with medical facility staff
