My mother needs dialysis three times a week and I was constantly worried about getting her there safely. First Med Transit has been a lifesaver. Their driver is always on time, helps her in and out of the vehicle with so much patience, and I no longer dread appointment days.
I needed a wheelchair-accessible ride home after my surgery and First Med Transit made the whole transfer easy. The driver knew exactly how to secure my chair, checked in with me throughout the ride, and got me home safely without any of the stress I was bracing for.
As my dad's caregiver, finding transportation he was comfortable with took months of trial and error. First Med Transit was the first service where he actually relaxed during the ride. The driver talked with him, was in no rush, and treated him with real respect. That matters more than people realize.
I was discharged from the hospital after a long stay and needed gurney transport home since I couldn't sit upright yet. The crew handled the transfer carefully every step of the way and explained what they were doing the whole time. I felt safe instead of anxious, which made a huge difference.
We needed weekly transportation set up for my husband's rehab sessions in Elk Grove and First Med Transit coordinated the whole recurring schedule without us having to call every single week. The drivers are consistent, the vehicles are clean, and we genuinely look forward to seeing the same friendly faces.
I called First Med Transit about my Medi-Cal coverage because I had no idea what was actually included. The team walked me through everything patiently, helped me confirm eligibility, and got my rides booked the same week. It took a huge weight off my shoulders during an already hard time.
I booked a same-day ride for my dad after an urgent specialist appointment came up out of nowhere. First Med Transit had a driver to us within the hour. No scrambling, no excuses, just a calm and capable team that clearly knows how to handle last-minute medical transport.
At 81, I don't drive anymore and my family can't always take me to my appointments. First Med Transit picks me up right at my door, the driver waits until I'm safely seated before pulling off, and they never once made me feel like a burden. That kindness means everything.
