If you are unable to find a friend or family member that can take you home after your surgery, there may be another option. There are several driving services in the greater Victoria area that may be of assistance. Please ensure you receive a quote for the service you require, prior to booking with them. Dr. Denis Nagy Inc. has no affiliation with these suggested companies and the services they provide, and is not responsible for the fees charged by these services.

Please prearrange your ride and after surgery care with these services once you know your surgery date to ensure their availability, as they do book up quickly. If you require assistance booking one of these services, please ask one of our team members.
All services listed above are different. Please ensure the service will also include stopping at your pharmacy to pick up your prescriptions, and will stay with you after your surgery if you are alone at home. The amount of time you will require someone to stay with you varies from patient to patient and will be told to you and your ride, after your surgery.
Please note, if you have not pre-arranged a ride and after care for your surgery date and time, we will have to rebook your surgery to another day.
