Transportation to laboratories and imaging centres in Tijuana
Blood work at eight, imaging at ten, back across the line by noon — the kind of morning that only works if the driving and the parking are somebody else's job.
Diagnostics are early, and early is the hardest hour to organise
Laboratory work is usually scheduled first thing in the morning, often fasting, which means crossing before dawn on an empty stomach. Imaging appointments — MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray — are frequently in a different building from the laboratory, sometimes in a different neighbourhood.
We pick you up early, we know both addresses, and we can wait between stops so you are not paying two separate fares and hunting for a ride in between. For patients who cannot drive after contrast or sedation, this is not a convenience, it is a requirement.
Multi-stop mornings on one reservation
A typical diagnostic day is three stops: laboratory, imaging centre and then the consulting physician who ordered both. Booked as one reservation with the stops listed, it is coordinated by a single driver who knows where you are going next.
Inside Tijuana those movements run on the Tijuana City Service at $20 USD one way and $40 USD round trip. Crossing from San Ysidro or San Diego adds the published route fare, which starts at $90 USD.
Results, follow-ups and the trip back
Many patients cross a second time a few days later to collect results or discuss them with the specialist. Dispatch keeps your addresses on file, so the second booking is a two-minute message rather than a whole new arrangement.
If the imaging involved contrast or sedation, tell us at booking. We will assign the Premium vehicle and plan the return with extra margin so you are not sitting in a border line while the sedation wears off.

Frequently asked questions about laboratory & imaging transportation in San Diego
Yes, every day. Early pickups are routine for us. Reservations before 6:00 AM carry the $40 USD night-service charge, which is disclosed before you confirm.
For short waits, yes — tell dispatch the expected duration when you book. For anything over an hour it is usually cheaper to book a scheduled return, and we will tell you which option costs less.
List every stop when you book. Multi-stop days are one reservation with one driver, quoted in advance, instead of three improvised rides.
It is the reason to book us rather than drive. Tell us at booking, we assign the Premium vehicle with the reclining seat and we plan additional margin for the crossing home.
