Dialysis & recurring treatment
Standing rides on your treatment schedule — same days, same times, week after week. Dialysis, chemotherapy, radiation, and rehab therapy.
Standing ordersThe ride to care, handled with care.
Sonoran Medical Transport is a wheelchair-accessible, door-to-door medical transportation company based in Tempe, Arizona — built for dialysis patients, hospital discharges, and anyone whose appointment matters too much to miss. Our first vans roll in 2028.
- Wheelchair-accessible vans
- Door-to-door assistance
- Locally owned in Tempe
Now forming facility partnerships
Dialysis centers, hospitals, and care facilities across the Phoenix metro — let's talk before launch day.
What we do
Transportation for the trips healthcare runs on
Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) for riders who travel by wheelchair or need a steady hand and a reliable driver — scheduled in advance, with the return trip arranged before we ever pull up.
Hospital discharge
When discharge papers are signed, the ride home shouldn't be the hard part. We coordinate with discharge planners so patients leave on time.
Discharge coordinationWheelchair & ambulatory rides
Lift- and ramp-equipped vans with securement for wheelchairs, plus comfortable seating for riders who walk but shouldn't have to drive.
Lift & ramp equippedAppointments & check-ups
Doctor visits, imaging, lab work, dental, and follow-ups — booked ahead, with a driver who waits or returns right on schedule.
Booked in advanceFacility transfers
Moves between hospitals, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and hospice facilities — handled with the receiving team expecting us.
Facility to facilityPrivate-pay rides
Not every important trip is a medical claim. Family events, worship, and personal outings for riders who use a wheelchair — quoted up front, no surprises.
Quoted up front
How it works
Three steps, no guesswork
Step 1
Book the ride
Rides are scheduled in advance — by the rider, a family member, or the facility's care team. Recurring treatment? Set it once as a standing order and we handle the rest.
Step 2
We come to your door
Your driver meets you at the door, helps you to the van, and secures your wheelchair properly. A companion or caregiver is welcome to ride along.
Step 3
Arrive on time — both ways
We plan around your appointment time, not ours, and your return trip is already on the schedule before your first ride begins.
For facilities & care teams
A transport partner your staff can actually rely on
Late pickups and no-show vans cost your team hours and your patients their treatment slots. Sonoran is being built facility-first: dependable standing orders, honest communication, and documentation done right.
-
Standing orders that holdDialysis and recurring schedules are our anchor work — protected first, not squeezed in.
-
Overflow & backup capacityWhen your regular provider falls through, we want to be the call you make — and the one that shows up.
-
Compliance from day oneAHCCCS provider enrollment and ADOT permitting completed before the first ride, with full trip documentation for every leg.
-
Who we serveDialysis centers, hospital discharge teams, skilled nursing and rehab facilities, and hospice agencies across the Valley.
Prove it before you commit to it
We're not asking any facility to take our word for it. When service begins, new facility partners can start with a short trial run of trips, then judge us on the only metrics that matter: on time, every time, with paperwork that holds up.
5-trip TRIAL FOR NEW FACILITY PARTNERS
Start with overflow or discharge trips, and judge us on the results before you commit to a standing order.

Questions
What riders and families ask us
No. We provide non-emergency medical transportation — scheduled rides to appointments, treatment, and home from the hospital. If you have a medical emergency, call 911. If a trip needs medical monitoring or a stretcher, tell us when booking and we'll help you find the right level of transport.
Sonoran launches in 2028. Right now we're completing provider enrollment and permitting, preparing vehicles, and building partnerships with facilities. Use the form below to get in touch — riders and families on our list hear first when booking opens.
It depends on the trip. Many rides are covered through a rider's health plan or arranged by their facility; others are private pay. Private-pay trips are quoted in full before you book — the price you're given is the price you pay. Once we're enrolled and operating, we'll confirm coverage for your specific trip at booking.
Yes — a companion, family member, or caregiver is welcome on your ride. Just mention it when you book so we plan the seating.
Yes. Our service is door-to-door: your driver meets you at your door, assists you to the vehicle, secures your wheelchair with proper tie-downs and a lap/shoulder belt, and walks you in at the other end.
Use the form below and choose “Facility / care team.” Tell us your trip volume and pain points. Ahead of launch we're meeting partners in person across the Valley, and new partners can begin with a five-trip trial once service starts.
