Dialysis Transportation in Atlanta

Dialysis does not run on a flexible schedule, and neither should your ride. In-center hemodialysis means three sessions a week — Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday — about three to four hours each, at the same time slot every treatment day. That is roughly 26 one-way trips a month, repeating on the same pattern, for years. More than 22,000 Georgians are on dialysis, according to the American Kidney Fund — and every one of them needs transportation that shows up the same way, every time.

How a Standing Schedule Works

You set it up once. Give us your treatment days, your pickup time, your center's name and address, and your mobility level — ambulatory, wheelchair, or stretcher. From then on, the rides repeat automatically every week. No calling before each appointment, no re-explaining your situation to a new dispatcher.

• One setup covers every treatment day
• One call updates days, times, or a pause for a hospital stay
• We confirm the full schedule back before your first ride
• Wheelchair-on-return only? We send the right vehicle each leg

Scheduled Return vs. Will-Call

For the ride home, you pick the style that fits. Scheduled return: the driver comes back at an agreed time based on your shift. Will-call: you or a family member calls when treatment is wrapping up, and we dispatch the return then. Either way, we do not sit in the parking lot for four hours — we return when you need us.

Medicaid or Private Pay: The Honest Path

If you have Georgia Medicaid, non-emergency rides go through the state's broker, Verida — the single statewide broker since April 2025. Non-urgent rides must be booked three business days ahead. Private pay with us fits three situations: you do not have Medicaid; your broker ride did not show or could not be booked in time; or your family is paying out of pocket for reliability. Missed and late broker rides causing missed dialysis appointments have been documented nationally, and Georgia's brokers have faced complaints and state fines. We are the backup plan and the primary plan in one — flat quote before the ride, confirmed pickup, no broker queue.

Where We Run

We pick up for dialysis centers across metro Atlanta — dozens of them, including DaVita, Fresenius Kidney Care, U.S. Renal Care, Dialysis Clinic Inc., Emory-affiliated units, and independent centers. These are centers we serve, not partners.

Our regular corridors: Marietta and Cobb County along Cobb Parkway; Decatur and DeKalb County along the Memorial Drive corridor; Lawrenceville and Gwinnett County; the south metro — College Park, East Point, Riverdale, and Stockbridge; Douglasville to the west; and the north side — Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Alpharetta. In-town Atlanta is covered too.

Who Sets Up the Ride

Three kinds of people call us. Patients setting up their own standing schedule. Adult children and caregivers booking for a parent. And clinic social workers and discharge planners who need a reliable option for patients without transportation — if that is you, our refer-a-patient page is the fastest path.

When you call (470) 458-0410, have three things ready: your center's name and address, your treatment days and pickup time, and your mobility level. That is the whole setup.
