I have a dental appointment that requires me to be dropped off and picked up by the same person because I’ll be given a low dose of oral sedation. I’ve taken this medication before and didn’t feel impaired in the slightest, but my new dentist still requires this policy. The person doesn’t need to stay during the appointment, but they do need to come inside before and afterward to sign me out.
The issue is that I don’t have any family or friends nearby who can help. I’m wondering if there are any services that provide this kind of assistance. I live nearby, so I won’t actually need a ride home but I’m not sure if using a regular taxi or rideshare would meet the dentist’s requirements since it has to be the same person for drop-off and pickup. I’m afraid to ask the dentists office in fear of having the appointment cancelled.
I’m feeling stuck on what to do short of paying a stranger online to help me.
