After most surgeries and outpatient procedures, you cannot drive yourself home — and a taxi or rideshare isn't designed for someone still groggy from anesthesia. DachiPlus provides post-procedure transportation that handles the realities of post-op recovery: patient, unhurried drivers, room for crutches, walkers, and medical equipment, caregiver companion seating, and direct coordination with hospital discharge teams.
