When your primary care doctor sends you to a specialist, getting there shouldn't be the hard part.

Specialist care in New Mexico is concentrated in Silver City and El Paso — 60 and 120 miles from Lordsburg respectively. Many Hidalgo County residents with serious conditions — heart disease, cancer, neurological disorders — go without care or delay treatment simply because they cannot make the drive.

Unique Ride Services handles that transportation so you can focus on your health, not the logistics. We serve the full range of specialist destinations at Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City and major facilities in El Paso, TX.

Situations we help with

My cardiologist is in Silver City. I can't drive that far on my own anymore and I need someone I can count on.

I have a neurology appointment in El Paso next month. It took three months to get this appointment and I cannot miss it.

I'm scheduling my mother's orthopedic appointment but she has no way to get there from Lordsburg.

My doctor referred me to an oncologist at a specialist center. I need a round-trip same day.
