Robert:
Hello! My ophthalmologist in Philadelphia scheduled me for cataract surgery next month. They told me I won’t be able to drive home after the procedure and that I’ll also need several follow-up appointments. Does Aero NEMT provide Non-Emergency Medical Transportation for eye surgery patients?
Aero NEMT:
Hello, Robert!
Yes, absolutely.
Our Non-Emergency Medical Transportation service helps patients travel safely to cataract surgery centers, ophthalmology clinics, retina specialists, outpatient surgery centers, and follow-up eye care appointments throughout Philadelphia.
Robert:
That’s great to hear.
My doctor mentioned I’ll have a consultation before surgery, the procedure itself, and several follow-up visits afterward.
Can I schedule transportation for all of those appointments?
Aero NEMT:
Absolutely.
Many patients schedule transportation for their entire treatment plan, including consultations, surgery, post-operative checkups, and any additional eye care appointments recommended by their ophthalmologist.

Robert:
After surgery my vision may be blurry for a while.
Would it be appropriate to use your service for the trip home?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
Many eye procedures temporarily affect vision, making it unsafe to drive. Our Medical Transportation Services help patients travel safely to and from ophthalmology appointments while they recover.
Robert:
My wife usually accompanies me to important appointments.
Can she ride with me?
Aero NEMT:
In many situations, one family member or caregiver may accompany the patient. Please let us know when scheduling your transportation, and we’ll explain the available arrangements.
Robert:
My ophthalmologist also wants me to visit a retina specialist for additional testing.
Can you provide transportation there as well?
Aero NEMT:
Of course.
We provide Non-Emergency Medical Transportation to ophthalmologists, retina specialists, outpatient surgery centers, hospitals, imaging facilities, and many other healthcare providers across Philadelphia.
Robert:
I’ve never used Medical Transportation before.
Do you have any information that explains how everything works?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
We’ve created educational resources to help patients understand Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, learn about different transportation services, and prepare for medical appointments.
